What is a SIEM vs SOC?

A quick answer to a common question about security information and event management (SIEM).

A security operations center (SOC) is the team and tooling that monitors an environment and responds to threats. A security information and event management (SIEM) is one tool a SOC uses to collect logs and generate alerts. An agentic SOC adds AI agents that triage, investigate, and respond alongside analysts.
