So you're buying your first SIEM... here's how not to suck at it

Welcome to the chaos. You’ve been told you need a SIEM. Maybe it was your CISO. Maybe it was your auditor. Maybe your SOC is tired of stitching together logs with duct tape and Python scripts. Doesn’t matter — you’re now on the SIEM buying journey. Congratulations… and condolences. Let’s walk through how to actually buy your first SIEM without lighting your budget (and your team’s morale) on fire.

Ten new and updated apps for securing and monitoring your environments

Whether you rely on Sumo Logic for securing your systems, monitoring your infrastructure, or maximizing application performance, connecting to your tech stack is essential. That’s why we continuously release new apps and upgrade existing ones, ensuring you can easily connect to your stack and visualize key data with out-of-the-box dashboards. Let’s dive into some of the latest additions to our app catalog, designed to help you monitor, secure, and optimize your environment.

Lessons from the 2025 Security Operations Insights report

Sumo Logic’s 2025 Security Operations Insights report doesn’t just survey the field—it speaks for the SOC. From stacked queues and stale alerts to automation that never fires and dashboards that scroll but don’t inform, this report puts numbers behind what every analyst and CISO has felt for years: the system needs a reset. But this isn’t a story about failure. It’s a wake-up call—and a blueprint.

Why your DevSecOps team needs a log management solution

Not all log management and log analysis tools are created equal. With organizations like yours generating large amounts of log data, understanding how to manage, analyze, and secure these log files is key for maintaining system performance, meeting compliance requirements, detecting performance issues, and responding to incidents faster.

Stop writing dumb AI security policies: use threat models, not fear

Every time someone asks me about building their AI policy, I die a little inside. Not because it’s a bad question, but because my answer is always the same: “Can we not build it off pure fear for once?” Most people don’t understand how AI architecture works, so their first instinct is to panic. And, we’ve seen this movie before: cloud, mobile, bring your own device (BYOD).

Balancing act: Sumo Logic vs. Splunk in the high-wire world of modern security

Trying to stay ahead in cybersecurity can feel a bit like juggling gas-powered chainsaws while riding a unicycle across a tightrope—dangerous, noisy, and not for the faint of heart. Thankfully, security information and event management (SIEM) tools are your safety harness—keeping you steady, secure, and just far enough from the edge that you’re not plunging headfirst into the abyss of breached data, regulatory fines, and sleepless nights.

The privacy illusion: when deleting your data doesn't actually delete your data

Let’s talk about privacy—specifically, the kind you thought you had when you hit “delete.” OpenAI received a court order to retain every single ChatGPT conversation, even the ones you erased. Yep. Even the awkward ones. Even the ones that start with, “Hypothetically, if I were to…” Why? Because The New York Times is suing them over copyright, and now everyone’s deleted chats are potential evidence.

How to deploy PostgresSQL on Kubernetes

Kubernetes is a container orchestration platform that automates the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, abstracting many of the manual steps of rolling upgrades and scaling. When building cloud-native applications, you’ll often need to deploy database applications like PostgreSQL so that your applications can leverage their features within the cluster.
