SolarWinds Security Event Manager, formerly Log & Event Manager
Threats to IT networks continue to accelerate and evolve.
While enterprising hackers from external sources test the robustness of network security parameters, internal threats in the form of careless and malicious insiders remain a major and ongoing concern.
It is critical that agencies take steps to combat these threats—and SolarWinds® Security Event Manager (SEM), formerly Log & Event Manager is a powerful weapon.
This comprehensive SIEM solution delivers dynamic, real-time log collection and analysis for immediate and actionable threat intelligence.
SEM can capture and analyze log data in real-time from multiple sources and specific incidents, allowing users to quickly identify and remediate threats, uncover policy violations, and resolve vital network issues.

Active Responses for fast threat mitigation
Time is a critical factor in responding to these concerns, and teams must be able to react quickly.
SEM has unique built-in Active Responses that allow users to take automatic actions for fast, hands-free threat mitigation.
Users can quickly shut down breached systems, block IP addresses, kill unexpected processes, and disable user accounts. Plus, SEM has a rules configuration wizard that can be used to improve usability.
Additional innovations for better security and compliance
SEM features other innovations not seen in traditional SIEM solutions.
Improve your security posture and quickly demonstrate compliance with a lightweight, ready-to-use, and affordable security information and event management solution.
The software includes in-memory correlation for immediate threat detection and remediation; USB Defender® technology to help identify rogue devices and enforce USB policies; and unique IT search capabilities for better remediation and audit reporting.
SEM includes support for single sign-on and improved management.
Fast and easy for better response
When responding to a threat, users need intuitive interfaces and features, without sacrificing power or capabilities—the hallmarks of SEM.
The solution includes an easy-to-use, point-and-click interface and data visualization tools to quickly search log data, perform event forensics, and identify the cause of security incidents or network problems.
Community-built security
The feedback of IT professionals is instrumental to improving and updating SolarWinds SEM to suit real-world needs.
SolarWinds’ online user community, THWACK®, features a forum in which IT pros can request and vote on new features and thus directly influence product updates.

Like all SolarWinds software, SEM is built to scale and can support IT environments of all sizes.
It employs a node-based license model that allows users to stay within their planned budgets as they deploy and expand their IT infrastructures across multiple data centers and geographies.
A new Workstation Edition license makes monitoring logs from Windows® workstations more affordable than ever.
SolarWinds SEM is used by nearly every U.S. federal civilian agency, DoD branch, and intelligence agency.
