As organizations modernize their IT infrastructure and increase adoption of cloud services, security teams face new challenges in terms of staffing, budgets, and technologies. To keep pace, security programs must evolve to secure modern IT environments against fast-evolving threats with constrained resources. This will require rethinking traditional security strategies and focusing investments on capabilities like cloud security, AI-powered defense, and skills development. The path forward calls on security teams to be agile, innovative, and strategic amidst the changes in technology and cyber risks.

To meet these security demands, security teams must focus on three critical transformations:

• Evolution from closed vendor ecosystems to open, collaborative, community-powered defense
• Scaling security expertise with AI and automation
• Evolution from tool-focused defense to analyst-powered outcomes

Having the most powerful technology means nothing if it burdens the analyst with complexity. SIEM technologies have often promised to be the “single pane of glass” into an organization’s environment—a promise that our industry needs fulfilled. This new cloud-native SIEM leverages a new user interface that fuses the primary workflows from threat intelligence, SIEM, SOAR and EDR into a single, seamless workflow. Not only does this deliver significant productivity improvements but it also removes the burden of switching between tools, dealing with false positives and inefficient workflows. When analysts have the right tools and context, they can move with speed and precision to stop sophisticated attacks.
