Content Aware SIEM is a new generation of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions that now have visibility into network flows, database sessions and application layer data and can combat insider threats, data loss, fraud and advanced persistent threats.

Without content awareness, current SIEMs are only able to act upon the surface details provided by event logs. This limits the effectiveness of SIEM for threat detection, incident response, and compliance reporting because the data being analyzed lacks needed context and content to make informed, relevant decisions.
