SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) is a kind of software whose purpose is to provide organizations and corporations with useful information. “About what?” you may wonder. Well, about potential security threats related to your business networks. SIEM does this through data collation and by prioritizing all kinds of dangers or threats. In general, we already answered the question “what is SIEM?”, but how does it do it?
These days, “SIEM” (Security Information and Event Management) is all over the place. SIEM tools work by collecting data from multiple systems and noticing patterns in the data. This adds immediate value to the business by providing insights, security recommendations, and actionable intelligence.

What I love about our free and open Elastic SIEM is how easy it is to add new data sources. I’ve learned how to do this firsthand, and thought it’d be helpful to share my experience getting started. Last October, I joined Elastic Security when Elastic and Endgame combined forces. Working with our awesome security community, I’ve had the opportunity to add new data sources for our users to complement our growing catalog of integrations.
