SIEM

How it works

• It gathers logs from computers, firewalls and cloud services.
• It looks for patterns across them, such as logins from two countries at once.
• It needs people to tune it and read its alerts.
• Small offices use a managed version rather than run their own.

How WILDCARD handles it

Identity Monitor watches every login and session and shuts down suspicious activity automatically.

• A company sees a login from an unusual country flagged.
• A security team replays what happened before an incident.
• An auditor asks how long logs are kept.

A question owners ask

Do small offices need one?

Not their own. A managed service that watches logins and devices covers the same ground.
