Security Event Manager
Security event management (SEM), and the related SIM and SIEM, are computer security disciplines that use data inspection tools to centralize the storage and interpretation of logs or events generated by other software running on a network. Overview The acronyms ''SEM'', ''SIM'' and ''SIEM'' have sometimes been used interchangeably, but generally refer to the different primary focus of products: * ''Log management'': Focus on simple collection and storage of log messages and audit trails * ''Security information management'' ( SIM): Long-term storage as well as analysis and reporting of log data. * ''Security event manager'' (SEM): Real-time monitoring, correlation of events, notifications and console views. * ''Security information and event management'' (SIEM): Combines SIM and SEM and provides real-time analysis of security alerts generated by network hardware and applications. Event logs Many systems and applications which run on a computer network generate events which are k ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Security Information Management
Security information management (SIM) is an information security industry term for the collection of data such as log files into a central repository for trend analysis. Overview SIM products generally are software agents running on the computer systems that are monitored. The recorded log information is then sent to a centralized server that acts as a "security console". The console typically displays reports, charts, and graphs of that information, often in real time. Some software agents can incorporate local filters to reduce and manipulate the data that they send to the server, although typically from a forensic point of view you would collect all audit and accounting logs to ensure you can recreate a security incident. The security console is monitored by an administrator who reviews the consolidated information and takes action in response to any alerts issued. The data that is sent to the server to be correlated and analyzed are normalized by the software agents into a co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
PCI DSS
The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is an information security standard used to handle credit cards from major card brands. The standard is administered by the Payment Card Industry Security Standards Council and its use is mandated by the card brands. The standard was created to better control cardholder data and reduce credit card fraud. Validation of compliance is performed annually or quarterly, by a method suited to the volume of transactions handled: * Self-Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) * Firm-specific Internal Security Assessor (ISA) * External Qualified Security Assessor (QSA) History Originally, the major card brands started five different security programs: *Visa's Cardholder Information Security Program * MasterCard's Site Data Protection * American Express's Data Security Operating Policy *Discover's Information Security and Compliance * JCB's Data Security Program The intentions of each were roughly similar: to create an additional level ...

Computer Security Incident Management
In the fields of computer security and information technology, computer security incident management involves the monitoring and detection of security events on a computer or computer network, and the execution of proper responses to those events. Computer security incident management is a specialized form of incident management, the primary purpose of which is the development of a well understood and predictable response to damaging events and computer intrusions. Incident management requires a process and a response team which follows this process. This definition of computer security incident management follows the standards and definitions described in the National Incident Management System (NIMS). The ''incident coordinator'' manages the response to an emergency security incident. In a Natural Disaster or other event requiring response from Emergency services, the ''incident coordinator'' would act as a liaison to the emergency services incident manager. Overview Compute ...

MITRE
The mitre (Commonwealth English) (; Greek: μίτρα, "headband" or "turban") or miter (American English; see spelling differences), is a type of headgear now known as the traditional, ceremonial headdress of bishops and certain abbots in traditional Christianity. Mitres are worn in the Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodox Church, Oriental Orthodox Churches, the Anglican Communion, some Lutheran churches, for important ceremonies, by the Metropolitan of the Malankara Mar Thoma Syrian Church, and also, in the Catholic Church, all cardinals, whether or not bishops, and some Eastern Orthodox archpriests. Etymology μίτρα, ''mítra'' ( Ionic μίτρη, ''mítrē'') is Greek, and means a piece of armour, usually a metal guard worn around the waist and under a cuirass, as mentioned in Homer's Iliad. In later poems, it was used to refer to a headband used by women for their hair; and a sort of formal Babylonian headdress, as mentioned by Herodotus ('' Histories'' 1.195 and 7.90 ...

Distributed Management Task Force
Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) is a 501(c)(6) nonprofit industry standards organization that creates open manageability standards spanning diverse emerging and traditional IT infrastructures including cloud, virtualization, network, servers and storage. Member companies and alliance partners collaborate on standards to improve interoperable management of information technologies. Based in Portland, Oregon, the DMTF is led by a board of directors representing technology companies including: Broadcom Inc., Cisco, Dell Technologies, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, Intel Corporation, Lenovo, NetApp, Positive Tecnologia S.A., and Verizon. History Founded in 1992 as the Desktop Management Task Force, the organization’s first standard was the now-legacy Desktop Management Interface (DMI). As the organization evolved to address distributed management through additional standards, such as the Common Information Model (CIM), it changed its name to the Distributed Management Task ...
