In the early days of Cyber Security, technological innovation centered around the development of preventive tools that could stop cyber-attacks as they happened. Tools such as host-based or network-based intrusion detection systems, firewalls, and anti-virus software are built to secure the network against attacks.

Today's cyber-attacks are often so sophisticated that without the proper tools, organizations may not even realize that an attack has taken place. This reality is why an increasing number of organizations are relying on their log files as a means of monitoring activity on the IT infrastructure and maintaining awareness of possible security threats. IT organizations must understand the features and capabilities of SIEM. ScanPlus SIEM is a real-time event data collection and correlation tool, which helps the organization with updated security and application-level information. It correlates, responds, and alerts the threat analyzed in the source of events. ScanPlus SIEM is effective in security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) solution, it is possible to achieve more, in less time, while still allowing for human decision-making, at critical events.

ScanPlus SIEM collects and aggregates log data generated throughout the organization's technology infrastructure, from host systems and applications to network and security devices such as firewalls and antivirus filters. ScanPlus SIEM then identifies and categorizes incidents and events, as well as analyses them. The software delivers on two main objectives, which are as follows:

• To provide reports on security-related incidents and events, such as successful and failed logins, malware activity, and other possible malicious activities.
• To send alerts if analysis shows that an activity runs against predetermined rule sets and thus indicates a potential security issue.
