SIEM Integration

In the field of computer security, security information and event management (SIEM), software products and services combine security information management (SIM) and security event management (SEM). They provide real-time analysis of security alerts generated by applications and network hardware.

FileCloud allows system administrators to integrate FileCloud's system alerts and auditing with external SIEM systems, enabling them to monitor all alerts and potential security issues in one place.
