SIEM is dead - long live security analytics

Great technology doesn't stay great forever. The cyber security world is no different - and arguably it's got even less room for sentiment.

In the security world, legacy solutions have complex workflows and lack cloud-specific context, which is making them inadequate for the scale and complexity of cloud environments. 

Coupled with that, standalone cloud detection and response (CDR) tools often generate vast amounts of fragmented data that are difficult to analyse in real time and fail to correlate threats across diverse data sources. The problem is that CDR is key to actively finding and addressing cloud-based threats quickly.

In short, once-great SIEMS are showing their age.

So what's different with 'security analytics'?

As you'll know well from your own customers, infrastructure environments are evolving at unmatched speeds. Digitising organisations now demand advanced analytics and cloud security across diverse cloud assets, including third-party, cloud-native application protection platforms (CNAPP), vulnerability management tools, and open source Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) tools.

We'll be honest, our title that "SIEM is dead" is a slight misnomer (we're limited by characters!). But what we mean is that in breaking from the flaws of legacy SIEM, new generation security analytics solutions are built on seamless, real-time incident response, empowering organisations to efficiently manage and secure their cloud workloads.

This presents the ideal platform to provide an end-to-end security solution for your customers either as a managed service or as an easy-to-manage environment for them to run in-house.
