A security operations center (SOC) manager notices that analysts spend significant time manually reviewing logs from firewalls, servers, and intrusion-detection systems. To accelerate incident detection and improve response times, which type of system should the organization deploy to automatically correlate and analyze security events from these diverse sources?
A threat intelligence platform
A Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution
A Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution centrally collects, stores, and analyzes log and event data from many devices, applies correlation rules, and generates alerts, enabling faster, more accurate incident detection. Threat-intelligence platforms focus on aggregating external threat feeds rather than internal event correlation; network protocol analyzers (sniffers) capture raw packets for troubleshooting but do not perform multi-source event analytics; compliance reporting tools generate regulatory reports and lack real-time correlation features.
