SAIWALL SIEM Connector
PERFECT SIEM AUDIT, TOTAL COMPLIANCE
SAIWALL SIEM Connector guarantees the ingestion of critical logs; so your security and compliance evidence is always irrefutable.
Turn raw data into smart, usable security analysis.
SAIWALL SIEM Connector
A SIEM implemented in the SAIWALL Secure SD-WAN environment provides various strategic functions. This integration reinforces the network model we define: intelligent connectivity, advanced security, and centralized monitoring, fully orchestrated under SAIWALL technology.
SAIWALL SIEM Connector
SIEM (Security Information and Event Management)
It is the platform that unifies, standardizes, and analyzes security events generated in an organization's technological infrastructure in real time. Its function is to provide a comprehensive and centralized view of the network status, anticipate threats, and ensure a rapid and coordinated response to any incident.
At SAIMA SYSTEMS, this capability is naturally integrated into our network architecture, enhancing visibility and control in distributed environments.

SAIWALL SIEM Connector
What does it involve?
A SIEM combines two fundamental pillars:
- Security Information Management (SIM): collection, aggregation, and normalization of logs from across the corporate infrastructure.
- Security Event Management (SEM): advanced correlation, real-time detection, contextual alerts, and historical analysis.
SAIWALL SIEM Connector
At SAIMA SYSTEMS, this function is implemented through SAIWALL SIEM Connect.
The module that extends SAIWALL Secure SD-WAN and enables direct integration with any SIEM on the market.
What makes the SAIWALL ecosystem unique?
Data centralization with a single configuration
All SAIWALL devices connected to your infrastructure are integrated through a single configuration, automatically directing all information to your SIEM without the need for individual configurations per device.
Every modification made in SAIWALL SD-WAN Orchestrator, every user access, or every action through the devices automatically reaches the customer's SIEM, creating a complete auditable record.
Advanced analysis without limitations
Thanks to this integration, the intelligence generated by SAIWALL is combined with the analysis capabilities of the SIEM chosen by each organization, without manufacturer or architecture limitations.
SAIWALL SIEM Connector
Its strategic role
A SIEM implemented in the SAIWALL Secure SD-WAN environment provides:
- Centralization of logs from all devices connected to SAIWALL Secure SD-WAN.
- Advanced correlation based on contextual intelligence from the network itself, integrating events from all devices and plants under a single platform.
- Continuous 24/7 monitoring with real-time alerts on anomalous activities and unauthorized changes to security configurations.
- Detection of internal and external threats through patterns and behaviors, identifying suspicious access and rule modifications.
- Forensic analysis based on consolidated event history, allowing auditing of who changed what, when, and why, in the security infrastructure.
- Structured traceability of all administrative actions performed in SAIWALL SD-WAN Orchestrator.
- Compliance reports for regulations such as PCI DSS, ISO 27001, GDPR-LOPD, ENS, NIS2, or DORA.
- Direct support to the SOC, providing data ready for evaluation and allowing security managers to review critical changes in access policies.
Its integration reinforces a network model based on: intelligent connectivity, advanced security, and centralized monitoring, all fully orchestrated under SAIWALL technology.
This unique approach allows organizations not only to detect threats, but also to maintain complete and auditable control over every change in their security perimeter.

SAIWALL SIEM Connector
Case study applicable to industrial companies
Let's imagine a manufacturing group with 6 plants located in Spain and Central Europe that incorporates a SIEM into its structure.
The company operates with:
- A hybrid network connected via SAIWALL Secure SD-WAN.
- OT systems with PLCs from multiple manufacturers.
- Remote connections from maintenance providers.
- ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) and MES (Manufacturing Execution System) systems in the cloud.
- IoT devices on production lines.
Problem
The company experienced intermittent incidents on an assembly line, remote access outside of working hours, and an abnormal increase in traffic between IT and OT networks. The lack of visibility made it impossible to determine whether the cause was technical or a security incident.
Solution
SAIWALL SIEM Connector was activated to connect the SAIWALL infrastructure with the corporate SIEM, sending the logs generated by all SAIWALL SR devices, including firewalls and IT/OT segmentation in each operating plant, in a standardized manner.
Respecting the independent connections of the other components incorporated into the corporate SIEM:
- PLCs, SCADAS, and OT sensors.
- Windows/Linux servers and internal applications.
- Cloud services associated with ERP/MES.
Specific correlation rules were defined:
- Remote access outside authorized hours.
- Unexpected changes in PLC configurations.
- Traffic spikes between IT/OT environments.
- Unusual activity during non-production periods.
Results
- Immediate detection of changes to SAIWALL environment rules.
- Immediate identification of a supplier with credentials still active despite their contract having ended.
- Detection of the real source of the blockages: an automated script executed during the production shift.
- Early detection of an OT traffic pattern matching a potentially malicious lateral movement.
- Substantial improvement in visibility, traceability, and diagnosis time.
Conclusion
The combination of SAIWALL Secure SD-WAN and SAIWALL SIEM Connector enabled the manufacturing company to achieve a secure connectivity environment, total visibility, and advanced monitoring, strengthening its industrial cyber resilience posture and ensuring production continuity.
