SIEM
SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) is a cybersecurity tool that collects, analyzes, and correlates security event data from various sources like network devices, servers, and applications in real-time. It provides centralized monitoring, threat detection, and incident response capabilities to help organizations identify and respond to security threats. SIEM systems typically include features such as log management, security analytics, and compliance reporting.
Developers should learn SIEM when working in security-focused roles, such as DevSecOps, cloud security, or application security, to monitor and protect systems from cyber threats. It is essential for compliance with regulations like GDPR or HIPAA, as it helps track security events and generate audit reports. Use cases include detecting data breaches, investigating security incidents, and automating responses to suspicious activities in enterprise environments.
