SIEM – Security Information & Event Management Service & Solutions
Continuously monitor data flows for sophisticated event management. Real-time analysis of SIEM data and incident reporting. Integrate intelligent security tools for automatic threat mitigation and response
SIEM Platform: The Core of SOC Operations and Information Security Management
Although organizational operations and tasks may be planned, assaults are not. With the exponential growth of intentional and unexpected assaults, hardly a single second is secure. The Security Operations Center Team of an organization must be always vigilant in evaluating telemetry and data from many sources, integrating sophisticated threat hunting and incident investigation, and initiating prompt actions. SIEM is an essential pillar for protecting an organization’s IT infrastructures end-to-end in the middle of this “chaos” that is far simpler to record than to act in.
SIM (Security Information Monitoring) and SEM (Security Event Management) are two separate functions of SIEM (SEM). As a fundamental component (subset) of SOC operations, this entails continuous interaction with real-time logs/information and threat monitoring throughout a company’s networks, applications, data, IT infrastructure, and cloud environments. Once a breach is identified by SIEM tools or software, the SIEM team is immediately notified and intelligent analysis and response processes are orchestrated. Modern SIEM products and infrastructures provide even more features, including in-depth security analytics, easy reporting, and self-healing via integration with powerful SOAR, threat remediation systems.
What is managed SIEM and why is it important?
The majority of the over 200 million SMBs’ IT departments are understaffed. While they labor hard every day to maintain landscapes and processes, asset security monitoring suffers. On the other hand, building a specialized SOC or SIEM team to monitor security events 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and identify threats is exorbitantly costly and strains IT resources.
CDWT’s end-to-end Managed SIEM solutions and services provide the required assistance. A certified, world-class cybersecurity team monitors threats around-the-clock using SIEM solution integration, log/information analysis, and event management throughout the whole IT and cloud stack. The CDWT SOC and SIEM team and security analysts deploy advanced SIEM software and SIEM tools such as IBM QRadar with custom capabilities, provide real-time threat visibility and detection-priority support, intuitive user activity dashboards and data reports, high-end security analysis for actionable plans, and a master console for integrating additional intelligent security solutions.

Completely Managed SIEM Solutions and Services from CDWT
- Collection of Log Information and Data
- Correlation of Security Events and Alerting
- Cyber Threat Monitoring and Incident Analysis in Real-Time
- Exhaustive Threat Investigation
- Enhanced Security Incident Reporting and Analytics
The SIEM technology uses robust tools and processes to collect all security data flows, logs, attack histories, and other pertinent data from the entire IT and cloud stack end-to-end: applications, systems, platforms, architectures, Operating systems-middleware, network devices, web servers, libraries and protocols, VMs, servers, networks, endpoint environments, IoT landscapes, and more. Most SIEM systems aggregate log data from event logs while connecting to a variety of sources. However, CDWT's installed SIEM solutions guarantee that sophisticated entity behaviour analytics are used to gather and analyse data at a deeper level. The data is evaluated automatically (or under the guidance of a team) to find or anticipate latent hazards. Guarantee total data security for sensitive data and standard data procedures.
Upon real-time receipt of logs and process data from all assets, the SIEM system executes event, risk, anomaly, or historical pattern-based analysis to correlate the data footprints with potential security breach occurrences. Once an event or problem occurs, the affected parties are immediately alerted through security alerts for investigation and remedy. In addition to analysing produced alerts based on general user activity patterns, correlation rules, and false positive filtering, advanced SIEM systems also evaluate alerts based on general user activity patterns. This decreases stress for the security, administration, and IT teams significantly.
In partnership with the SIEM team, the SIEM tools and platform monitor the IT environment end-to-end, including data, applications, networks, enterprise systems, key systems and devices, virtual machines (VMs), and cloud architectures. Utilizing cutting-edge behavioural analytics from different data sources, event correlation and event data, threat research, and intelligent security analytics technologies ensures the instantaneous discovery of unknown, hard-to-find threats from any source. Prioritize external and internal risks based on their effect capabilities in order to create an appropriate, rapid action framework and cutting-edge event management systems.
Frequently, SIEM tools and platforms are connected with Deep Outsider and Insider Threats hunting, investigation, and Threat research-discovery platforms to undertake rigorous evaluation and deep monitoring of the complete IT infrastructure and cloud stack. This facilitates the identification of hidden threats, malicious code, unusual behaviours, and even ostensibly innocent foreign files that might be used in the future to launch an attack.
CDWT has implemented SIEM systems that use cutting-edge AI to conduct in-depth security analyses. Common end-to-end analytics security features and frameworks include User Behavior Analytics (UEBA), MITRE ATT&CK techniques, contemporary regulations, etc. After conducting a comprehensive investigation and analysis, the system generates understandable security reports and enables intelligent overview dashboards. This alleviates excessive security worries by providing customers with cutting-edge risk visualization for informed decision making.
- Examination of Security Data and Forensics
- Integration of Threat Response Management and SOAR
- SIEM-based Cloud Security Incident Management
- Integration of Threat Intelligence and Automation
- Audit and Compliance Management for SOC
Ensures military-grade data security analysis on all logs and dataflows managed by the system. Examines deep-level threats, non-signature dangers, and predictable vulnerabilities using extensive, sophisticated tests based on the most current security standards. Enables Data obfuscation so that all sensitive data is appropriately concealed. Advanced incident forensics guarantees that all attacks (occurred or expected) are properly tracked back to their underlying cause, allowing for swift cleanup and infra upgrades for future continuous protection.
Traditional SIEM systems, methods, and teams are solely concerned with threat monitoring, investigation and alerting, and breach analysis. However, current SIEM systems provide the necessary interfaces to synchronise with infrastructure endpoints and architectures responsible for initiating threat remediation, especially SOAR (Security Orchestration and Automation Response). With this enhanced SIEM, SOC teams may launch automated threat response procedures with increased agility and efficiency, therefore establishing an automated, intelligent threat management lifecycle that is close to end-to-end.
Synchronize the adopted SIEM solution, SIEM tool, procedures, and resources with private, public, hybrid, and multicloud systems for top cloud platforms, including AWS, GCP, Azure, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure, IBM Cloud, and others. Protect your SaaS applications, PaaS infrastructures, and IaaS solutions with a sophisticated SIEM system for unwavering threat/incident investigation, monitoring, analysis, and reaction for cloud workloads. Connect SIEM tools and processes with cloud log management portals, monitoring, and native security tools to provide a more flexible, comprehensive, and sophisticated cloud security solution.
