Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) and Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) are two critical tools in modern cybersecurity operations, but they serve distinct roles. SIEM systems focus on collecting, aggregating, and analyzing security data from various sources across an organization's network, enabling real-time monitoring, detection of potential threats, and compliance reporting. On the other hand, SOAR platforms take cybersecurity a step further by automating the response to detected threats.
