Cybersecurity systems involve many technologies and can be built with various options, but large companies should implement a security information and event management (SIEM) solution to increase overall system security.

A SIEM is a software solution designed to document network activity, store security logs, and discover security events. The technology is a central component to many cybersecurity operations systems and incredibly helpful in storing network information and managing security incidents.

Since cybersecurity systems are highly complex, especially for the enterprise, tools can be difficult to scope, implement, and eventually deploy. This step-by-step guide will help teams considering a new SIEM properly document the implementation.
