In a monthly SIEM report for your advertising services firm, consider including key metrics such as detected security incidents, trends in threat detection and response times, notable events, user activity summaries, and any policy violations. Additionally, incorporating visualizations like graphs or charts can help convey complex data effectively. Best of luck with your SIEM solution research!
