Understanding Security Data Fabric

Security data fabric is increasingly recognized as a technology solution that enhances security data pipelines by adding value through features like data enrichment and normalization. Unlike traditional methods where logs were simply transferred from sources to a security information management (SIM) tool, security data fabric aims to provide a structured approach to managing security data across various platforms. This technology not only channels data effectively but also addresses the complexities introduced by modern cloud environments and numerous data sources. Vendors are now attempting to fill the gaps left by traditional SIM tools, pushing security practitioners to consider these systems for greater efficiency and investment returns.
