SIEM platforms aggregate and analyze security events from different systems. Hiring requirements may concern log onboarding, detection rules, investigation workflows or operating the platform; a generic product mention is weaker evidence than ownership of those activities.

What SIEM demand means in practice
SIEM platforms aggregate and analyze security events from different systems. Hiring requirements may concern log onboarding, detection rules, investigation workflows or operating the platform; a generic product mention is weaker evidence than ownership of those activities.
Name the event sources and the detection problem you worked on. Explain parsing, field normalization, retention, alert quality and the handoff to responders. Show how a rule was tested against both malicious and normal behavior, and how changes in the source data were detected before they silently broke monitoring.
