SIEM
Security Information and Event Management, a security technology designed to collect log data and store it in a centralized repository, make it available for searching, and perform analytics on the data. Common SIEMs include IBM QRadar, Splunk, Microfocus ArcSight, LogRhythm, Securonix, and many others.
UBA/UEBA
User Behavior Analytics/User and Entity Behavior Analytics, an application that works with SIEMs and other data repositories to perform enhanced analytics not available in traditional SIEMs and other security technologies. UBA/UEBA provides additional context around “users” and “entities” (e.g. systems) in contrast to the rule-based alert focus in traditional SIEMs. Many SIEM vendors offer UBA/UEBA as add-on applications.
EPS
Events Per Second, the amount of events being processed by the SIEM each second.
Processing Layer
The SIEM application that processes and forwards log data, commonly known as Collectors, Connectors, Forwarders, etc, depending on the product.
Analytics Layer
The “main” SIEM application that stores data, provides searching and analytics capabilities.
