The Foundation of a Modern Enterprise’s Security Operation
While log data has always played an important role in the cybersecurity framework, the ever-increasing frequency, cost and sophistication of cyber-attacks have made log management and analytics a mission critical responsibility of the security operations (SecOps) team. Indeed, most organizations see log analytics as a foundational element of their overall cyberdefense strategy.
However, the heightened importance of data analytics, coupled with the explosion of data growth of recent years, are necessitating a dramatic shift in how enterprise SecOps teams collect, manage and use log data to power their operations and improve the overall security posture of their organizations. Traditional log management systems cannot scale efficiently to meet the needs of today’s SecOps teams which rely on access to massive data sets, from a wide range of sources, including long-term historical data. These limitations are driving the need for a massively scalable data platform that overcomes inherent limitations of the traditional approach, allowing SecOps teams to secure the foundation of their overall cybersecurity architecture.
