Introduction

Security is the condition of being protected against danger or loss. In the general sense, security is a concept similar to safety. The nuance between the two is an added emphasis on being protected from dangers that originate from outside. Individuals or actions that encroach upon the condition of protection are responsible for the breach of security.

Management comprises directing and controlling a group of one or more people or entities for the purpose of coordinating and harmonizing them towards accomplishing a goal. Management often encompasses the deployment and manipulation of human resources, financial resources, technological resources, and natural resources. Management can also refer to the person or people who perform the act(s) of management.

Security management is an important part in any company in the IT industry. Even apart from the IT industry any company that uses many systems, devices, and computers would need proper security management. To conduct the business effectively, you need to know the users of your systems properly and you have to give them exclusively rights to some resources depending on the position they occupy in your company. Hence controlling the access rights is also very important. Moreover if there is any threat to your resources or if there is any threat in the sort of violation of the rights given for a particular user you must me intimated of that as soon as possible. This enables you to take early remedies and to prevent any such events in the future.

Security information management (SIM), sometimes called security information and event management (SIEM), has been a problematic security category for years. In a nutshell, this segment of the information security market has featured products that strive to collect and analyze security events, ideally detecting malicious activity. Plagued by expensive and integration-heavy implementations, SIM products and vendors have never lived up to their promise, taking millions of venture capital with it.
