Just 2 minutes and 7 seconds.

Designed for a time of smaller log volumes and slower adversaries, these systems have failed to evolve and scale with today’s data growth and advanced threats. Security teams struggle to investigate attacks quickly as they often manage a patchwork of antiquated SIEMs, sprawling data lakes ...
