Fortinet has developed an architecture that enables unified and cross-correlated analytics from diverse information sources including logs, performance metrics, SNMP traps, security alerts and configuration changes. FortiSiem essentially takes the analytics traditionally monitored in separate silos from - SOC and NOC - and brings that data together for a more holistic view of the threat data available in the organization. Every piece of information is converted into an event which is first parsed and then fed into an event-based analytics engine for handling real-time searches, rules, dashboards and ad-hoc queries.
