Is SIEM still relevant?

A quick answer to a common question about security information and event management (SIEM).

Centralizing security data is still essential, but traditional security information and event management (SIEM) tools struggle with cloud and SaaS environments. Volume-based pricing pushes teams to drop high-volume sources like GitHub audit logs or IaaS control plane activity, and rule-based detection leaves analysts to correlate alerts by hand. As a result, many security teams are adding AI SOC platforms alongside their SIEM and reducing their dependence on it over time.
