The 4 Leaders in the Gartner Security Information and Event Management SIEM MQ

Findings: The Forrester Wave: Midsize Managed Security Services Providers, Q3 2020

SIEM leader gartner 4 SIEM Magic Quadrant

As part of our ongoing coverage of the Security Information and Event Management—SIEM—market, we try to keep a close eye on the numerous and distinct solution providers that comprise this oft-confusing but essential sector of the cybersecurity world. The key word here is distinct. This may not surprise enterprises looking for the right solution for them, but no two SIEM vendors offer exactly the same products and services—each has their own strengths and weaknesses, sizes and focuses. While it’s natural for the latest innovations and gadgets to take up the most of our collective attention, there also needs to be a recognition of the pillars of the markets.

The following providers have recently been named Leaders in Gartner’s 2017 Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) Solutions (the 2018 version is available here). While each company’s market share differs, these tools shape the foundation of the SIEM market according to Gartner. Their report suggests that the success these vendors achieved over time serves as an inspiration and benchmark for new vendors entering the SIEM field. These providers stand out as cornerstones in the market, offering tools for a wide variety of use cases, and thus in Gartner’s report are worthy of the Leader title.

The 4 Leaders Gartner named in their SIEM Magic Quadrant report are:

SIEM is seeing a broadening appeal as its focus shifts from compliance to threat management. Detection is fast becoming the cybersecurity paradigm, and SIEM can provide greater visibility into disparate enterprise IT environments. Preventive measures are important, but they can’t hope to stop 100% of all incoming digital threats. You owe it to yourself and to your enterprise to start investigating SIEM solutions and finding the right one for your use case. The Gartner SIEM Magic Quadrant is one place to start.
