Rethinking SIEM Solutions
Blog post from Starburst
Security data lakes offer a modern solution for organizations aiming to enhance their security analytics capabilities by centralizing and storing vast amounts of data for investigations, threat detection, and compliance. As companies increasingly adopt these systems, challenges such as long-term data retention, instant access, scalability, and cost-efficiency become paramount. Traditional methods often suffer from inefficiencies, with significant resources wasted on scanning and filtering operations. Starburst's innovative approach with big data indexing technology addresses these issues by enabling rapid access to relevant data across multiple dimensions and formats, leveraging indexes like Bitmap and Lucene for text searches. This method not only minimizes computational waste but also supports real-time threat detection and incident management, meeting the critical success criteria for effective security data lake operations.
