Many MSSP’s use SIEMs and other log management/aggregation/analysis solutions for cybersecurity visibility, but is log analysis enough? We’re hearing more and more about holistic security solutions like XDR platforms that claim to cover the entire attack surface, especially because the latest pipeline attack reinforced the compound nature of today’s sophisticated multi-stage cyberattacks. The attackers admitted

The current model for cybersecurity is broken. It consists of acquiring and deploying a lot of stand-alone tools, each with its own console, to analyze logs or traffic and detect anomalies that could be threats. In this model, it’s up to each security analyst to communicate with other analysts to determine whether each tool’s individual
