Infrastructure monitoring tools capture the health and resource utilization of IT infrastructure components, no matter where they reside (e.g., in a data center, at the edge, infrastructure as a service [IaaS] or platform as a service [PaaS] in the cloud). This enables I&O leaders to monitor and collate the availability and resource utilization data of physical and virtual entities — including servers, containers, network devices, database instances, hypervisors and storage. These tools collect data in real time and perform historical data analysis or trending of the elements they monitor.
SIEM is a configurable security system of record that aggregates and analyzes security event data from on-premises and cloud environments. SIEM assists with response actions to mitigate issues that cause harm to the organization and satisfy compliance and reporting requirements. The security information and event management (SIEM) system must assist with: 1. Aggregating and normalizing data from various IT and operational technology (OT) environments 2. Identifying and investigating security events of interest 3. Supporting manual and automated response actions 4. Maintaining and reporting on current and historical security events
