IT Event Correlation Software for Log Analysis
Event correlation software can help correlate log events to identify threat patterns
Centralized event log collection
Event logs can be useful in understanding security threats, but they’re worth far less when kept in isolation. Threat patterns can only be recognized when event logs generated across the infrastructure are analyzed side by side.
SolarWinds® Security Event Manager (SEM) includes Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) event correlation capabilities to ingest logs from hundreds of infrastructure sources, such as networking equipment, firewalls, servers, applications, endpoint protection, and databases, and third-party cloud vendors, and can analyze data at event time—allowing you to more easily identify patterns that may signal an attempted attack.
Automate complex processes to help improve productivity
Connecting the dots from hundreds of different event logs can be a complex process involving converting raw data into actionable insights—but it can give IT teams the ability to make more informed responses to security threats and devise better IT policies.
SolarWinds SEM helps improve efficiency and reduce wasted time by automating event log normalization, correlation, and analysis processes. The SIEM-focused event correlation system is designed to help eliminate potential human error and provides the ability to automatically respond to threats with Active Response.
Help demonstrate regulatory compliance
Remaining compliant with regulatory requirements around security and networked systems can be a complicated process. The SIEM normalization and correlation capabilities of Security Event Manager can be used to organize event log data, and reports can easily be generated. Out-of-the-box reports also make it easy to identify and outline security-related threats and events, allowing IT professionals to create effective prevention plans. Create these reports using the integrated set of security event correlation, performance monitoring, and reporting tools, and, if necessary, customize the reporting templates to meet your organization's specific needs.

Do you find yourself asking…
Event correlation in SIEM is a process of normalizing and correlating incoming logs for more optimized anomaly detection. To further define event correlation in SIEM, it is essential to understand two main components: event correlation and SIEM.
Event correlation enables you to receive and view the total sum of logs entering your IT infrastructure in a unified format. Data logs can enter your system from many sources and in different formats. Without an event correlation tool, you may struggle to understand the relationship between multiple, disparate logs. As a result, event correlation is the process of normalizing incoming logs into a common readable format.
While event correlation is useful for identifying and troubleshooting security issues in your system, SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) is a more comprehensive process that involves understanding security threats to your network through the monitoring of data to optimize the detection of unusual events and enhance operational efficiency.
Viewing logs in a unified format is key to monitoring logs for security events and is an important feature of any comprehensive SIEM tool. Once logs are normalized by event correlation software, a unified format can help you detect security events as they occur. Event correlation software can also help you to better understand the sources from which the logs originated, allowing you to more easily identify trends in incoming logs. With SIEM correlation software, you can monitor event data in real time for quicker intrusion detection, minimizing alert fatigue, and optimizing response times.
