The unified engine can be integrated into the products of security and networking vendors and into service providers’ infrastructure. Typical solutions that would benefit from the unified engine are software or hardware solutions or services that combine multiple security technologies, such as unified threat management (UTM), secure content filtering gateways and SaaS security solutions.

Because SIEM systems were not designed with privileged identities in mind, they have no way to tie security events that are triggered through use of these accounts with the individuals and processes responsible. This lack of visibility can leave IT staff with too little information to make informed decisions and the inability to differentiate between routine security events and potentially damaging – or even criminal – activity.

The integrations between ERPM and SIEM technology close this visibility gap by showing IT staff not only when and where critical events occurred, but also precisely who was responsible for any action that required the use of highly “super user” accounts. ERPM and leading SIEM solutions also work together to generate an audit trail to correlate the actions taken by privileged users with the security events that might result.
