# SIEM Integration

{% hint style="info" %}
This feature is available in the **Premium plan and higher**.
{% endhint %}

SIEM Integration enables secure and efficient log forwarding to your Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system for analysis and threat detection. Data is transmitted in 1-minute intervals, ensuring timely delivery and processing. Additionally, our [API Integration](/configuration-guides/features/api-integration.md) allows SIEM systems to take automated actions, such as blocking users when threats are detected.

## Prerequisites

* A SIEM system that supports the **JSON** log format and can receive logs via **Syslog (UDP, TCP, or TCP with TLS)**.

## Configuration guide

{% hint style="info" %}
Please refer to your SIEM system's documentation for details on port/protocol you should use.
{% endhint %}

[Log in to the GoodAccess **Control Panel**, and go to **Settings** > **SIEM**.](https://app.goodaccess.com/siem/)

Check **Enable SIEM Integration**, and connect your SIEM system.

* **Host** - Enter your SIEM system's Hostname/IP
* **Port** - Specify the port number used for communication
* **Protocol -** Choose between:
  * TCP
    * When using TCP, we strongly recommend enabling encrypted communication via **TLS**. To enable TLS, upload a valid **CA certificate**.
  * UDP
* **Data exported to SIEM** - Choose from:
  * Admin Logs
  * Threat Blocker Logs
  * Device Posture Check Logs
  * Gateway Access Logs

Click **Save**.
