The Past, Present and Future of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)

The Past, Present and Future of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM)

With the release of the 2020 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM), we feel that it is an appropriate time to reflect on the evolution of SIEM over the years.


Starting out as a tool originally designed to assist organizations with compliance, SIEM evolved into an advanced threat detection system, then into an investigation and response platform that empowers security operations center (SOC) analysts to respond to incidents quickly and effectively.


Clearly, SIEMs have always been the core platform for many security teams, just in different capacities. As we glance into the future, we see a SOC that is constantly innovating, adopting interoperable technologies and striving to achieve faster speed and greater efficacy.
