The current trends around Threat Detection and Incident Response (#TDIR / #TDR), the #SOC, #SIEM and #XDR got me thinking about how the landscape of TDIR/SOC is changing.
1) Market consolidation through mergers and acquisition:
Cisco acquired Splunk, Palo Alto Networks acquired the software assets of IBM QRadar, LogRhythm merging with Exabeam
2) Shift towards integrated security platforms:
Cisco, Microsoft, Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are all consolidating positions in the SIEM and security analytics with a trend towards comprehensive platforms that offer integrated solutions covering threat detection, response, and analytics.
3) Evolution of SIEM technology (5th gen):
The market is transitioning to 5th generation #SIEMs that incorporate AI and automation with #cloud based systems gaining traction for scalability and flexibility.
4) XDR positioning as a SIEM alternative:
Some vendors are positioning their XDR solutions as SIEM replacements and leaning in that XDR provides a more integrated approach to detection and response compared to traditional #SIEM + #SOAR setups.
5) Vendor consolidation by customers:
In 2023, Gartner believed that 75% of organizations were seeking to consolidate the number of #cybersecurity vendors they use and that 65% of organizations consolidate to improve their risk posture.
6) Emergence of new security concepts:
New approaches like Continuous Threat Exposure Management (#CTEM), Cloud Infrastructure Entitlement Management (#CIEM), and Automated Moving Target Defense (#AMTD) are gaining attention. The overall trend seems to be towards more integrated, #AI-driven security platforms that can handle the increasing complexity and volume of threats across diverse IT environments
This is my opinion of what is going on in the market. What is yours?
