Security operations

SIEM

Security Information and Event Management. The log-aggregation and rules platform every security practice runs. Concord by IaxaI sits above the SIEM, not next to it.

Definition

A SIEM is a Security Information and Event Management platform. It centralizes log data from across an environment, normalizes it to some degree, runs detection rules, and produces alerts. Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, and CrowdStrike Falcon LogScale are common platforms in the regulated mid-market. SIEMs are essential and expensive. They are also brittle. Detection rules are written in vendor-specific query languages, normalization is incomplete across sources, and the rule logic gets duplicated when a customer runs more than one platform. Concord by IaxaI does not replace the SIEM. Concord sits above it. The SIEM is one downstream consumer of canonical OCSF events (alongside the customer's other detection platforms) and one of the targets the Reverse Transpiler emits to. Customers who already invested in a SIEM keep the SIEM. Concord makes their detection portable across it instead of locked into it.
