While security itself is complex, a SIEM tool does not have to be complicated to be effective. “We’ve launched SolarWinds SEM to help mitigate these challenges, further delivering on our promise of making IT, and IT security, look easy.

“In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, IT and security professionals are faced with many challenges, including threats that keep pace with network growth and complexities, a continual security skills gap, and growing compliance pressures,” stated Brandon Shopp, vice president, Product Strategy, security, SolarWinds. The solution automates many SIEM activities to help IT and security professionals accelerate threat detection, response, and reporting-pulling from an integrated threat intelligence feed that quickly identifies known bad actors in event log data. SEM, which replaces SolarWinds Log & Event Manager, can be used to collect and normalize event logs generated across on-premises networks and systems into a central location, detect and protect against advanced cyberthreats, respond to cyberincidents with unique user-defined actions, and help demonstrate regulatory and industry compliance. The simple, powerful, and affordable SIEM solution is designed to help IT and security professionals strengthen their security posture by providing increased visibility into cybersecurity activity.
