SIEM

Security Information and Event Management

Aggregates and correlates logs for monitoring, alerting, and investigation.

A SIEM centralizes logs and events from across an environment, then normalizes and correlates them to detect suspicious patterns, raise alerts, and support investigation and compliance reporting. It gives analysts a single place to search and pivot during incident response. It is often paired with SOAR, which adds automated playbooks and response, and the exam stresses log aggregation, correlation rules, and tuning to manage false positives and alert fatigue.

Memory hook

Security Information and Event Management: aggregates logs and raises alerts. SIEM spots it, SOAR acts on it.
