In 1974, the great Mohammed Ali said of his opponent, George Foreman, “His hands can’t hit what his eyes can’t see.” The same principle rings true in the cybersecurity world; we can't stop an attack until we know it is happening.

Although each SIEM product works a little differently, they are all designed to help identify and track early signs of malicious activity on your network.
