Security Information and Event Management systems aggregate and correlate log and event data from across the enterprise, providing the audit trail and alerting backbone required by virtually every compliance framework — including SOX, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and FedRAMP — which mandate centralised log management, retention, and anomaly detection. Modern SIEM platforms are evolving toward SIEM+SOAR integration and are increasingly complemented or replaced by XDR for detection, while retaining their role as the compliance-grade audit record.
