Topics:
- There’s been a ton of discussion in the wake of the three SIEM week about the future of SIEM-like products. We saw a lot of takes on how this augurs the future of disassembled or decoupled SIEMs. Can you explain what these disassembled SIEMs are all about?
- What are the expected upsides of detaching your SIEM interface and security capabilities from your data backend?
- Tell us about the early days of SecOps (nee Chronicle) and why we didn’t go with this approach?
- What are the upsides of a tightly coupled datastore + security experience for a SIEM?
- Are there more risks or negatives of the decoupled/decentralized approach? Complexity and the need to assemble “at home” are on the list, right?
- One of the 50 things Google knew to be true back in the day was that product innovation comes from technical innovation, what’s the technical innovation driving decoupled SIEMs?
- So what about those security data lakes? Any insights?
