SEIM, or Security Information and Event Management, is a type of software solution that combines multiple security applications and processes into one unified system. These may include Security Information Management (SIM) and Security Event Management (SEM).


SEIM systems provide real-time analysis of security alerts generated by applications and network hardware. Some key functions of SEIM include:


1. Log Data Aggregation: This involves the gathering of log data produced by numerous network sources, including network devices, systems, and applications. 




2. Data Consolidation: Log data is normalized so that it can be analyzed and correlated. This makes it easier to spot patterns and anomalies that could indicate a security threat.


3. Automated Analysis: Once the data is gathered and consolidated, the SEIM software automatically analyzes the data for potential security incidents.




4. Alert Generation: Based on the analysis, the system generates alerts to notify security administrators of potential security threats.


5. Forensic Analysis: In the event of a security incident, the system provides tools for investigating the source and impact of the breach.


6. Security Event Correlation:  SEIM systems can correlate diverse events collected from different sources to distinguish between real threats and false positives.


7. Dashboards and Visualizations:
SEIM systems provide dashboards that can help administrators visualize complex events and timelines, making it easier to understand what's happening in their networks at any given moment.


SEIM is a crucial part of modern IT security strategies, particularly in larger organizations that must manage high volumes of log data and rapidly respond to any potential security incidents.

Microsoft's most progressed AI machine and OpenAI's most progressed GPT-4 cat are enormous wins for Nvidia stock speculators

 The computational demand for AI workloads brings huge headwinds to the various AI solutions offered by Nvidia. The latest reported revision of OpenAI's ChatGPT requires more control of the computer than the previous model. In the case of rapidly evolving AI technology, Nvidia's transactional demand (NVDA 0.69%) could create significant headwinds for their data center segment. Watch the short video to learn more, consider signing up and hit the awesome deals interface below.

Father of Modern Computer Science

                                                       The title "Father of Modern Computer Science" is often attributed to Alan Turing. He was a British mathematician, logician, and computer scientist who made significant contributions to the development of theoretical computer science, providing a formalisation of the concepts of algorithm and computation with the Turing machine, which can be considered a model of a general-purpose computer. Turing is widely considered to be the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence.  Among his notable contributions is his work during World War II. Turing worked for the British government in a code-breaking department, where he helped design machines that cracked the German Enigma code. His work laid the foundation for the development of modern computers, and his "Turing test" is ...
