The security appliance that acts like the glue between the various security controls in an organization to provide real-time reporting and analysis of security events is a SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) system. A SIEM system collects and correlates data from multiple security controls, including firewalls, IPS, and various other devices, to provide comprehensive security event monitoring, reporting, and analysis. It centralizes the data, enables real-time alerts, and helps security professionals gain insights into security events and threats across the organization’s infrastructure.
