business operation different emerging threats that may interrupt security of the company and the
possible negative impact of these emerging threats are all illustrated in this report. “Security
information and event management (SIEM) systems are increasingly used to cope with the
security challenges involved in critical infrastructure protection (Di Sarno et al., 2016).”
