InformationWeek SMB: Security Monitoring – Does Your SMB Need It?
Recent surveys show more and more small and medium enterprises are using advanced security information and event management (SIEM) software, in part to satisfy compliance requirements in regulated industries.

The question is relevant because, increasingly, small and midsize organizations appear to be using security log management software — in its more advanced form, also known as security information and event management (SIEM) software — not just to demonstrate compliance after the fact with regulations, but also as real-time warning consoles for preventing or detecting in-progress attacks or for pursuing forensic analysis.”
