SIEM
Connect your teams and data with our cloud-based security solutions, combining proactive defense and real-time threat detection all on one platform.
What is SIEM?
One essential component of effective cybersecurity is a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution. These systems collect, aggregate, and analyze massive volumes of data across an organization’s applications, servers, networks, endpoints, and users in real time. By unifying this data into a centralized platform, SIEM solutions empower security teams to gain a holistic view of their threat landscape and respond swiftly to potential incidents.
Kaspersky Unified Monitoring and Analysis Platform
Kaspersky Endpoint Security is installed on individual computers on the corporate IT infrastructure and continuously monitors processes, open network connections, and files being modified. Information about events on the computer (telemetry) is sent to the Kaspersky Unified Monitoring and Analysis Platform (KUMA) server. In its console, KUMA displays events as a list without markup, similar to the Windows event log.
Event ingestion & processing
Receives, processes, and stores security event data (telemetry) from endpoints and systems .
Real‑time analysis & correlation
Applies rules and enriches events with threat intelligence to detect suspicious activity.
Search & investigation
Enables manual threat hunting using advanced query capabilities .
Incident response workflows
Supports coordinated response, lowering mean time to respond (MTTR).
In modern IT environments, threats often move laterally, stay hidden for long periods, and leverage legitimate tools for malicious purposes. SIEM systems allow organizations to detect these sophisticated threats early by connecting dots across the environment. They reduce dwell time, improve incident response, and provide forensic insights post-incident. Beyond security, SIEMs also help with regulatory compliance — logging access to sensitive systems, enforcing retention policies, and generating audit-ready reports. Without SIEM, many threats would go undetected or take longer to investigate, increasing the risk and cost of breaches.
Why it matters
Who's it for?
- Mid-sized to large enterprises with a dedicated IT or security team
- Businesses looking to mature their SOC operations
- Any company needing unified logging, detection and compliance management
Use Cases
Compliance Management
Identify malware outbreaks, lateral movement, and insider threats across complex environments.
Threat Detection & Response
Maintain audit trails, access logs, and alerts for regulatory standards like PCI-DSS, GDPR, HIPAA.
Forensic Analysis
Perform root cause investigations after breaches to understand attacker behavior and improve defenses.
Why you need it ?
Organizations today are flooded with security data, yet most lack the visibility or resources to make sense of it in real time. That’s where SIEM becomes essential. Without it, threats often go undetected, compliance violations are harder to track and incident response becomes reactive instead of proactive.
Core Features
Log Management
Ingests, indexes, and securely retains logs from across the entire IT infrastructure to support compliance.
Event Correlation
Connects patterns across disparate systems to reveal threats that would otherwise go unnoticed.
Continuous Monitoring
Provides 24/7 real-time surveillance with dashboards and alert systems to catch anomalies instantly
Compliance Reporting
Offers automated reports for frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA, CCPA, and more.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a SIEM system and why is it important for cybersecurity?
A SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) system is a cybersecurity solution that centralizes security data from various sources across an organization’s IT infrastructure. It collects, aggregates, and analyzes log and event data from devices like servers, firewalls, and applications in real-time. The importance of a SIEM lies in its ability to provide a comprehensive view of an organization’s security posture, enabling security teams to quickly detect, investigate, and respond to threats that might otherwise go unnoticed.
How does SIEM differ from other security tools like firewalls or antivirus?
Firewalls and antivirus software are preventative security tools that primarily protect a single network boundary or endpoint. A firewall blocks unauthorized traffic at the network perimeter, and antivirus software detects and removes known malware on individual devices. In contrast, a SIEM is an analytical tool that works by ingesting data from these and other security tools. It correlates events from different sources to identify complex attack patterns and provide context to an alert, helping security teams see the bigger picture of a potential threat.
What are the key features of a SIEM system?
The most critical features of a SIEM system include:
- Log Management and Aggregation: The ability to collect and store large volumes of log data from diverse sources in a central location.
- Real-time Analysis and Correlation: The power to analyze and correlate different security events as they happen, identifying potential threats by linking seemingly unrelated activities.
- Threat Detection and Alerting: The functionality to generate alerts when a predefined rule or anomaly is triggered, notifying security analysts of a potential incident.
- Reporting and Compliance: The capability to generate detailed reports for compliance audits (like HIPAA, PCI DSS) and to provide insights into security trends and risks.
Can a SIEM be used by small businesses?
Yes, a SIEM can be used by small businesses, but the approach often differs from large enterprises. While a small business may lack the resources for a full-scale, on-premise SIEM deployment and a dedicated security team, they can leverage cloud-based SIEM or Managed SIEM services. These options offer the benefits of SIEM technology like centralized logging and threat detection without the high initial investment and operational overhead, making advanced security monitoring accessible and affordable.
