Automate SEM Monitoring & Reporting
with Security Event Manager
Improve SIEM monitoring and reporting to more effectively identify and handle security threats
Improve SEM monitoring by aggregating logs in a single location
SolarWinds Security Event Manager (SEM) simplifies Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) log management. SEM is built with a SIEM log aggregation tool designed to automatically collect and aggregate logs from multiple devices and applications across your network in an agentless environment. With SolarWinds SEM, you can gain a unified view, cutting through the clutter and making sense of the noise created by thousands of SIEM logs. With Security Event Manager, you can easily correlate event log data from multiple sources to quickly identify and mitigate security threats with minimal time and effort.
Detect security risks with real-time analysis
The SIEM log management capabilities of Security Event Manager help accelerate threat detection and empower your IT team to conduct real-time analysis of SIEM logs. With integrated threat detection capabilities, SEM can help you thoroughly examine security event logs and investigate incidents more efficiently. SEM enables you to easily ascertain the cause and effect of events generated across the network infrastructure. The advanced search and event-time correlation capabilities in SEM can help simplify and expedite forensic analysis and network security audits. Additionally, its SIEM log analyzer tool can easily forward correlated log data to an external source for further analysis if and when required.
Monitor proactively and automate remediation
The Security Event Manager is designed to provide continuous SEM monitoring. You can constantly monitor your files and folders with its SIEM capabilities to track permission changes or data modification to identify suspicious activities. SEM’s USB security software provides proactive USB device monitoring to prevent IT security risks, including data leaks and other malicious threats. The security monitoring tool capabilities of SEM help to optimize security threat resolution with automated responses. You can also initiate real-time threat remediation by configuring threshold-based alarms and notifications.
Sustain security posture with integrated SIEM reporting
SolarWinds Security Event Manager serves as an integrated compliance reporting tool for simplified and faster compliance audits. SEM’s standardized, available out-of-the-box reports can help you demonstrate compliance with various industry-specific regulations, including HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOX, FISMA, NERC CIP, FERPA, GLBA, GPG13, DISA STIG, and more. You can easily conduct forensic investigations with SEM’s detailed drill-down reports. In addition to industry regulation compliance, compliance reporting can help you demonstrate and ensure that any internal security policies are effectively implemented. SEM also enables reports in various formats, including PDF, CSV, and now HTML, for easier access and data viewing. Plus, each PDF report comes with bookmarked views, allowing recipients to see top trends for quick analysis.
Consider Security Observability to boost security measures
If you’re in the market for something more comprehensive, try SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted—a self-hosted solution designed for complex hybrid environments. From eliminating tool sprawl to reducing remediation times, SolarWinds Observability Self-Hosted provides clear visibility into your entire IT environment at all times. It also comes with SolarWinds Security Observability, an available integration featuring powerful SEM monitoring capabilities, including a Vulnerability and Risk Dashboard that provides a quick overview of existing threats and their severity levels. The SEM Security Dashboard enables IT teams to spot real-time event correlations and extensive node details so you can pinpoint root causes before they escalate into broader issues.

Do you find yourself asking…
Security Information and Event Management, or SIEM, combines Security Information Management (SIM) with Security Event Management (SEM) to protect your network from security breaches and other threats. However, the term SIEM is often used interchangeably with SEM.
Put simply, SIEM monitoring involves collecting, normalizing, and aggregating SIEM logs, so you can analyze and correlate the data they contain. This helps you quickly pinpoint security breaches, investigate alerts, and combat security threats. Manually performing these activities is time-consuming and impractical; therefore, most IT professionals utilize security monitoring tools equipped with advanced reporting, event correlation, and automated alerting features.
By engaging in SEM log monitoring and management, you can gain invaluable context into the events occurring within your network, enabling you to diagnose, prioritize, and act on security events without being lost in a sea of non-critical data and alerts. In short, you’ll be able to act quickly when needed to ensure network security and demonstrate compliance when you use SIEM software.
