About SolarWinds Security Event Manager
Improve your security posture and quickly demonstrate compliance with a lightweight, ready-to-use, and affordable security information and event management solution. Security Event Manager (SEM) will be another pair of eyes watching 24/7 for suspicious activity and responding in real time to reduce its impact. Virtual appliance deployment, intuitive UI, and out-of-the-box content means you can start getting valuable data from your logs with minimal expertise and time. Minimize the time it takes to prepare and demonstrate compliance with audit proven reports and tools for HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOX, and more. Our licensing is based on the number of log-emitting sources, not log volume, so you won’t need to be selective about the logs you gather to keep costs down.
