SIEM software aggregates all event log data from different systems in one centralised location. Automating data collection in this way carries several benefits:Frees up resources: Allowing SIEM systems to collect and analyse data means security teams can spend less time gathering information manually and more time responding to threats.Provides a historical view: Security teams can review SIEM data to identify trends and potential threats over time.Helps with compliance: Businesses need to comply with regulations such as GDPR. SIEM software helps with this by providing a detailed audit trail of all activities.Enables rapid response to threats: By proactively monitoring all systems all the time, threats can be quickly flagged and identified by security teams. This level of visibility means breach attempts can be either stopped or their damage limited, meaning businesses can be assured of the integrity of their data.Bolts onto other prevention methods:  SIEM software can integrate with other cyber security measures as an additional layer of defence, ensuring businesses maintain a strong security posture.
