A SIEM (security information and event management system) collects the activity logs from your firewall, servers, computers and cloud apps in one place and watches them for signs of trouble. HIPAA requires practices to record and examine activity in systems that hold patient data. Most small practices have logs, but nobody ever reads them.
Cytek SIEM is part of the Safeguard™ platform and monitored by our analysts.
