Cyber threats are constantly evolving, but understanding Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) does not have to be complicated. Demystifying SIEM provides a clear and practical introduction to one of cybersecurity’s most important technologies. Written for students, security professionals, IT practitioners and organisational leaders, this book explains how SIEM platforms collect and analyse security data, detect suspicious activity, support incident investigations and strengthen an organisation’s overall security posture.

Using straightforward language and practical insights, Dr. David Manford bridges the gap between technical theory and real-world application. Readers will gain a better understanding of log management, security monitoring, threat detection, incident response and the operational challenges involved in implementing an effective SIEM solution. Whether you are beginning your cybersecurity career, expanding your existing knowledge or seeking to improve your organisation’s security operations, Demystifying SIEM will help you approach SIEM with greater knowledge, clarity and confidence.
