Discussion: This presentation will cover the Security Information & Event Management application space and address industry questions as to what SIEM is, how SIEM, SEM and Log Aggregators differ and how these solutions all work together. We will address how a SIEM tool will provide value to an organization in more ways than just a simple security tool as well as discussing various considerations and approaches for a successful implementation.

The presentation will be informative and collaborative as group participation and questions are highly encouraged. Please bring your thoughts, experiences and appetite as we delve into the world of security information and event management!
