SOFTWARE BASED SECURITY INFORMATION AND EVENT MANAGEMENT FOR REAL TIME THREAT MONITORING

Abstract

Software-based security information and event management supports real-time threat monitoring by collecting and analyzing security data from networks, servers, endpoints, applications, databases, and cloud platforms. The system centralizes logs and correlates events to identify suspicious behaviour, unauthorized access, malware activity, policy violations, and potential cyberattacks. Automated rules and analytical models prioritize alerts based on severity, affected resources, and organizational risk. Real-time dashboards help security teams monitor incidents, user activity, system vulnerabilities, compliance status, and investigation progress. Integrated response workflows support alert assignment, evidence collection, escalation, and incident reporting. Historical event analysis also helps identify recurring attack patterns and security weaknesses. Overall, SIEM software can improve threat visibility, accelerate incident detection, strengthen regulatory compliance, and support coordinated cybersecurity operations.
