This blog is part of the ongoing “I&O Perspectives” series, which features insights from industry experts about the impact of current threats, networking, and other cybersecurity trends. In the first part of this blog series, we observed the inception of an internet-based model where corporate networks have no borders anymore, home is the office, applications are in the cloud. This paradigm shift makes connectivity ubiquitous. But security risks have dramatically increased.

A head-spinning series of acquisitions and mergers is transforming the security information and event management (SIEM) market. Behind this market shakeup is the ongoing technological shift from traditional, manually intensive SIEM solutions to AI-driven security analytics. Legacy systems — characterized by manual processes for log management, investigation, and response — no longer effectively address today’s fast-evolving cyber threats.
