A SIEM consists of various components, including an alert engine, search, and reporting capabilities.

A SIEM is designed to analyze data and provide insights into network and system use.
Log inspection is a core function of SIEM, which involves analyzing data to identify expected and unexpected behavior.
SIEM can enhance analysis through log enrichment.

Central logging solutions and ad hoc scripts are inefficient due to the need to figure out how to access and use data properly.
These solutions require significant time and effort to make educated decisions.

Sufficient data is required to make educated decisions, including understanding what normal and abnormal behavior looks like.
Fidelity of data is critical for effective SIEM analysis.

A SIEM can do more than just centralized logging and alerting, including threat intelligence and big data analytics.
SIEM can provide a comprehensive platform for security information and event management.

SIEM is not just about centralized logging and alerting of known threats, but offers a range of capabilities.
There are cheaper options available for organizations that only require centralized logging and retention for compliance purposes.
