Security teams face a constant stream of alerts from endpoints, identity systems, networks, cloud environments, applications, and other security technologies. Reviewing every alert manually can consume valuable analyst time, particularly when many events require the same initial investigation steps.

Security Information and Event Management, or SIEM, is a cybersecurity technology that collects and analyzes security-related data from systems across an organization's IT environment.

Managing enterprise devices becomes more complicated as organizations support smartphones, tablets, laptops, desktops, and multiple operating systems across office, remote, and hybrid environments. IT and security teams need visibility into which devices access company resources, along with appropriate policies, application controls, and security configurations.

How many endpoints are actually connected to your network right now? For many organizations, the answer is less certain than their asset inventory suggests.

Sensitive business data rarely stays in one place. Customer records may sit in databases, financial information may move through business applications, and employees may work with files stored across cloud platforms and internal repositories. Data can also be copied for backups, reporting, analytics, testing, and other business processes.

Cloud applications have become part of everyday business operations, giving employees access to applications, files, and business data from offices, homes, and other locations. This flexibility also changes how organizations need to approach security. Traditional network controls may provide limited visibility into activity taking place within cloud applications, particularly when users access services outside the corporate network.
