Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems remain a cornerstone of security operations, but in the cloud, they must adapt to ingest vast amounts of telemetry from distributed sources. This episode explains how SIEM platforms collect, normalize, and correlate cloud logs, enabling advanced analytics that reveal patterns and anomalies across environments. We highlight both traditional SIEM approaches and newer cloud-native analytics tools that scale to modern workloads.

On the CCSP exam, SIEM-related questions often ask you to identify how telemetry is best processed or how analytics can reduce false positives while highlighting true threats. By understanding SIEM in the cloud, you’ll be equipped to manage complexity, ensure forensic readiness, and demonstrate your ability to translate raw data into actionable security intelligence.
