Security Event Management (SEM)
July 24, 2008
Security Event Management (SEM) is about getting the essential visibility of business and technology operations required for Information Security to undertake its protective function and to provide an intelligence capability so it can be proactive in addressing business challenges.
SEM may be deployed in response to a lack of maturity in RBAC and IDM processes. Using SEM to help understand the business and technology environment may help develop the business case for RBAC and IDM. However SEM is best utilised when deployed alongside RBAC and IDM.
