A Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system is adept at collecting, normalizing, and correlating event data from diverse sources, offering advanced data visualization and timeline analysis capabilities, thus it's the correct choice for managing complex, interconnected tasks across a network during an incident. While automated response platforms aid in response and recovery, the emphasis on timeline analysis tips the balance in favor of a SIEM system here. Digital forensics platforms lack the real-time event correlation capabilities of SIEM systems and while a firewall is crucial for network security, it does not provide the same level of incident analysis and visualization that a SIEM system offers.
