Security Events and Traffic Logs
Security Information Event Management (SIEM) systems are solutions that specialize in combining security information and security event information together into a single management platform. The security and event information will originate from 3rd party security solutions that are configured to forward this information to the SIEM.
Multicloud Defense supports viewing security event information directly within the UI. These events are available under the section. The events are categorized and viewable as follows:
