Abstract:

Concepts for scaling a processing resource of a security information and event management system for processing a set of security events are presented. One example comprises identifying an event property of a set of security events, then assessing the identified event property against a predetermined rule. The method then comprises, in response to the assessed event property satisfying the predetermined rule, scaling a processing resource for processing the set of security events based on the predetermined rule.
