What’s Next for SIEM? A View From the 2021 Gartner SIEM Magic Quadrant


Security information and event management (SIEM) solutions continue to evolve, as shown in the 2021 Gartner Magic Quadrant for SIEM, which is a great representation of the changing security landscape and the evolution of key capabilities and experiences that are required to deliver top notch security outcomes.


Security teams are busier than ever, as their IT infrastructure is modernizing at an ever-increasing pace with the move to the cloud, application modernization and disappearance of the perimeter. SIEMs are playing an increasingly crucial role in this process by providing end-to-end visibility across endpoint, network and cloud; creating a centralized view of threats; and providing analysts with the ability to respond, all while the IT infrastructure they are monitoring is changing.


However, just being able to do this is not good enough anymore; most SIEMs on the market are able to do this in some shape or form. To enable security teams to succeed today, SIEMs need to enable their users to quickly and easily triage security findings and take action — without requiring significant security knowledge, setup time, configuration work or extensive maintenance. Organizations need SIEMs that provide fast time-to-value and enable users to focus on security outcomes. Here are a few steps you can take to achieve this.


Simplify SIEM Cost and Make the Solution Consumable


SIEMs are solving an incredibly complex task of collecting and analyzing a huge amount of data in real-time from a heterogeneous IT infrastructure consisting of dozens of technologies and vendors and from a massive volume of data, providing accurate threat detection and response. However, two areas have traditionally been challenging: how SIEMs are priced and the size and complexity of the infrastructure required to ru ..
