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® Log & Event Manager (LEM) is a powerful weapon.
SolarWinds LEM, Platinum Award Winner for Best Incident & Event Management Solution Two Years Running in the Annual ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, is a comprehensive SIEM solution delivers dynamic, real-time log collection and analysis for immediate and actionable threat intelligence.
LEM 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.
LEM 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, LEM has a rules configuration wizard that can be used to improve usability.
Achieving Auditable Compliance Across Industry-Specific IT Regulatory Frameworks is No Easy Task.
Additional Innovations for Better Security and Compliance
LEM features other innovations not seen in traditional SIEM solutions.
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.
