Summary

The text discusses the evolution of Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems in the context of cloud computing, emphasizing the transition to cloud-native architectures as necessary to meet modern security needs. As traditional SIEM vendors expand into areas like Security Orchestration, Automation, and Response (SOAR) and Endpoint Detection & Response (EDR), the text questions whether these expansions benefit users, suggesting that they may limit interoperability and choice. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) defines cloud-native technologies as empowering organizations to build scalable applications in dynamic environments using containers, microservices, and APIs, which enhances resilience and manageability. Logz.io exemplifies this approach by operating on a microservices architecture within public clouds, leveraging the latest technologies from providers like AWS and Azure, and contributing to open-source projects such as OpenSearch. The company emphasizes rapid release cycles and resilience through geographically distributed infrastructure, aligning with the CNCF's principles to support a robust and flexible cloud-native SIEM solution.
