The Evolution of SIEM Technology

SIEM technology has undergone significant changes over the years, leading to discussions about its current effectiveness. Initially designed to aggregate and analyze security data, many experts now view it as an 'undead' concept that continues to survive despite its limitations. As various new technologies and solutions emerged, such as cloud-native implementations and security analytics tools, the foundational purpose of SIEM seemed diluted. The conversation highlights the challenge within the security industry to balance between the cumulative tools used and the efficiency of the SIEM systems themselves.
