SIEM

Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) is a platform that aggregates and correlates log data from across an organization's infrastructure to detect security threats and anomalies in real time. SIEMs collect logs from firewalls, servers, endpoints, and applications, applying detection rules and machine learning to identify suspicious patterns. Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, and Elastic Security are popular SIEM platforms. SIEMs are central to enterprise SOC operations and are required by many compliance frameworks.
