Through these criteria, they identify the 11 most significant vendors. These vendors include Exabeam, FireEye, Gurucul, IBM Security, LogRhythm, Micro Focus, Microsoft, Rapid7, RSA, Securonix, and Splunk.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Wave Report describes Forrester\u2019s findings concerning how each provider meets its researchers\u2019 evaluation criteria. Thus, with this information, Forrester\u2019s researchers place each vendor on their Wave; the graph, in turn, positions each vendor as a Leader, Strong Performer, Contender, or Challenger in relation to one another.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The editors of <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/security-information-event-management\/soar-buyers-guide-security-orchestration-automation-and-response\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Solutions Review<\/a> read the full report. Here\u2019s what we found.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>Widget not in any sidebars<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>Key Capabilities in Security Analytics Platforms, Q4 2020<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In the report, Forrester focuses on the delivery methods and deployment options of security analytics platforms; they compare cloud delivery to hardware and software only deployments of traditional SIEM platforms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Ultimately, the majority of vendors listed in the report use cloud-based os SaaS deployment, which reduces both capability rollout time and management overhead. Other key capabilities of security analytics platforms include customizability, UEBA, <a href=\"https:\/\/solutionsreview.com\/security-information-event-management\/soar-buyers-guide-security-orchestration-automation-and-response\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">SOAR<\/a>, and multiple machine learning options.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Interestingly, Forrester also acknowledges the importance of extended detection and response (XDR) as a future technology component of or alternative to security analytics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify\"><b>5 Leaders in Security Analytics<\/b><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Of the 11 vendors appearing in the report, five achieve the title of Leader: IBM Security, Splunk, Securonix, Exabeam, And Microsoft. Meanwhile, LogRhythm, Gurucul, Micro Focus, Rapid7, and RSA all receive the Strong Performers label. FireEye is the sole Contender.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">IBM garners attention for its open security platform in the cloud. Forrester lauds Splunk for its infrastructure monitoring, application analytics, or security. Securonix&#8217;s offer of SaaS-based, multi-tenant security analytics catches researchers\u2019 attention. In Forrester\u2019s own words, \u201cExabeam excels on [sic] user experience.\u201d Finally, despite being a new entry into the market, Microsoft impressed researchers for its automation among other capabilities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Read the full <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibm.com\/account\/reg\/us-en\/signup?formid=urx-48770\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Forrester Wave: Security Analytics Platforms, Q4 2020<\/a> here.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>Widget not in any sidebars<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Disclaimer: The opinions described in this article belong to the researchers and editors of The Forrester Wave: Security Analytics Platforms, Q4 2020.
