Is Azure security Center a SIEM?

Azure Security Center (ASC) is a cloud-native security management platform that provides unified security management and threat protection across hybrid cloud workloads. While Azure Security Center shares some features with Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solutions, it is not a traditional SIEM tool. A SIEM solution typically collects security event data from various sources, analyzes it, and generates alerts and reports to identify potential security incidents. In contrast, Azure Security Center focuses on providing security recommendations, monitoring security configurations and compliance, and detecting and responding to security threats in real-time. Azure Security Center leverages Microsoft's intelligent security graph, machine learning algorithms, and behavioral analytics to provide advanced threat protection and security management for Azure, on-premises, and other cloud environments. It provides insights into the security posture of an organization's cloud environment and offers security recommendations based on industry best practices and compliance requirements. While Azure Security Center is not a SIEM tool, it can integrate with SIEM solutions, such as Azure Sentinel, to extend the capabilities of Azure Security Center and provide a more comprehensive security management solution.
