Abstract
At the Treasurer’s Office, I work in the IT department to help run a Security Information and Event Manager (SIEM). This system is used to track data and security events across State Treasurer’s Office. The focus of my business project for the State Treasurer’s Office is to understand how a SIEM is a much more effective and helpful method of tracking events in comparison to other security methods. My methods for this business project adapted over the course of the six months as I worked with different types of security systems and SIEMs from different sources. I also researched about the SIEM capabilities of various companies like AT&T, Splunk, and IBM. Through my research project, I was able to help the State Treasurer’s Office find a new SIEM and customize the capabilities of the SIEM.
