Security data collection, processing, and analysis has exploded over the past five years. In fact, recent ESG research into security analytics found 28% of organizations claim they were collecting, processing, and analyzing significantly more security data than they did two years ago, while another 49% were collecting, processing, and analyzing somewhat more data during the same timeframe (note: I am an ESG employee).
What type of data? You name it. Network metadata, endpoint activity data, threat intelligence, DNS/DHCP, business application data, etc. Additionally, let’s not forget the onslaught of security data from IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS.
