How much value are you really getting from your logs, and what are you giving up to stay on budget? In this episode of Logs and Lattes, host Palmer Wallace sits down with Seth Goldhammer, VP of Product Management at Graylog, for a candid conversation about the hidden cost of traditional SIEM pricing. Seth explains how ingest-based and resource-heavy licensing models pressure security teams into tough tradeoffs, such as dropping logs, tuning down detections, or limiting retention just to avoid budget overages.

Choosing a SIEM doesn’t have to mean trade-offs. This video shows how Graylog SIEM on AWS delivers fast detection, predictable costs, and analyst-friendly workflows — without the compromises that hold legacy platforms back. Legacy ingest-based SIEMs force security teams to pick between visibility, cost, and analyst efficiency. Graylog changes that model with flat, transparent pricing, license-free data lake storage, and flexible deployment options.

Most SIEMs make you compromise—higher costs, rigid deployments, slow investigations. Graylog Security says yes to what matters: speed, flexibility, cost control, and complete visibility. With Graylog, you can.

Navigate a shifting SIEM market: Challenges, lessons and strategic insights The SIEM market is evolving, and legacy systems struggle to keep up with today’s complex security challenges. Many mid-to-large enterprises, particularly those with revenues up to $5B, find outdated SIEMs hinder their agility and responsiveness. Vendor consolidation and shifting market dynamics add to the difficulty of selecting the right solution.

In today’s rapidly evolving threat landscape, the ability to detect and neutralize threats before they inflict damage is critical. This session will showcase how combining multiple log collection strategies can supercharge your threat detection capabilities. By merging traditional DNS logs from your domain controllers with DNS alerts from Cisco Umbrella, you'll gain unprecedented insight into compromised systems at the earliest stages of an attack.
