Reduce downtime and move from reactive to proactive monitoring.
September 12, 2018
Today at Sumo Logic’s annual user conference, Illuminate, we are announcing a new cloud SIEM solution to address fundamental challenges legacy security analytics tools have failed to solve.
Traditional security information and event management (SIEM) solutions (and most all of the “next-generation” follow-ons) iteratively developed mature solutions that aggregated data for central monitoring, correlated and prioritized events, and provided reporting for largely on-premise infrastructures.
While most of the recent innovation in the SIEM product category has focused on integrating adjacent functions (UBA, SOAR, packet layer insight, etc.), the essential core functions of the traditional SIEM solution have not adapted to modernizing IT and have created a massive gap in the defense.

Findings from the 2018 Global Security Trends in the Cloud report
Digital transformation, cloud migration and modern application architectures have undermined the core threat assessment functions of the SIEM model demanding a complete re-think in four key areas:

Sumo Logic has unique perspectives on these problems derived from deep experience with customers at all stages of cloud and application evolution, particularly with leading-edge environments.
That’s why today, we are excited to announce an entirely new and first of its kind cloud SIEM solution built specifically for today’s modern workflows, including DevSecOps.
In thinking through the problem of how to re-architect the SIEM model for modern IT, the obvious place to start was in the cloud (elastic scale multi-tenant SaaS delivery only, no lift and shift pretenders allowed!) and for the cloud (analytics and workflow designed for emerging unsolved use cases, no sticking in the comfort zone of recycled out of the box rules!).
From there, we designed fresh approaches to three key aspects of the workflow:
Security teams are under pressure to quickly assimilate a vast number of new data sources, use cases and threats and furthermore, DevSecOps and IT ops teams are under pressure to understand and build security into their workflows.
Our cloud SIEM solution will be a step toward helping both teams close the loop and help each other achieve their respective goals.
Beyond that first step, our aspiration is to pioneer a new model of security analytics for modern IT in the context of a platform that combines operational, security and business analytics in shared workflows and synergy.
The cloud SIEM solution is now in a private, closed beta. Be sure to check back on the Sumo Logic website for future details on general availability.
