Introduction: The traditional paradigm of centralized logging and Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) is being challenged. As the volume and sophistication of threats explode, simply funneling all data into a single, expensive platform creates as many problems as it solves, including massive data egress costs, alert fatigue, and a single point of failure for attackers to target. A new approach, dubbed SecDataOps, is emerging, focusing on applying data operations principles to security—processing and analyzing data where it resides without the need for costly and risky centralization.
