Check out Four Security Analytics Vendors to Watch in 2018

In 2017, IT organizations aren’t just fighting hackers and malware—they’re also battling a torrent of data from their own networks.

Information is pouring in. A fortune 500 enterprise’s infrastructure can easily generate 10 terabytes of plain-text data per month. Logs, threat intelligence feeds, forensics, IAM– if improperly managed these systems can create such a deluge of data that many enterprises end up underwater while the pertinent security data floats by.

So how can enterprises effectively log, monitor, and correlate that data to obtain actionable insight?  Enter the Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) solution.

SIEM solutions help enterprises managed the increasing volumes of logs coming from disparate sources and lessen the damage of sophisticated cyber-attacks by proactively monitoring networks for suspicious activity in real-time.

Traditionally, SIEM is deployed for two use cases: threat management: the real-time monitoring and reporting of activity and access, or Compliance reporting, which helps businesses meet stringent compliance requirements such as HIPAA, PCI DSS, SOX, and more.

However, as information security has evolved, so have SIEM capabilities. Today’s SIEM systems are quickly embracing new capabilities such as behavioral analytics, which can help enterprises detect potential threats and eliminate them before they turn into costly breaches.

Today, the SIEM market is mature and full of vendors capable of meeting the basic log management, compliance, and event monitoring requirements of a typical customer, but the aforementioned explosion of security data in the enterprise has left the door wide open for innovation from players both old and new. 2017 has the potential to be a year of big changes for SIEM and security analytics, so here are my top seven vendors to watch, presented in no particular order.
