What are SIEM and SOAR?

SIEM, or Security Information and Event Management, is a platform that collects and stores all the logs from various sources, including firewalls, servers, endpoints, and cloud platforms, in one centralized location. This allows security teams to monitor and analyze all the logs in one place, making it easier to detect any anomalies or potential security breaches.

However, having all this data in one place is only half the battle. That's where SOAR, or Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response, comes into play. SOAR uses automation to detect and respond to potential threats automatically.

Together, SIEM and SOAR provide a powerful security solution that can help organizations prevent and respond to cyber threats. They may also facilitate the logging requirements of various regulatory compliance frameworks, making them an essential tool for organizations of all sizes.
