⬆️ Data volumes continue to rise. In fact, within industries like #engineering and #finance, the volume and volatility of log data have even outpaced the capacity of traditional #SIEM and analytics tools. 😰 What this means is... with orgs facing high costs and fatigue, the ones that thrive will be the ones that treat storage and retrieval as distinct functions. 🤔

This is where selective retrieval comes in—the ability to triage, park, and later selectively ingest high-volume data from a centralized repository for forensic or compliance-driven investigation. 🙌

Read this excellent article by #Graylog's Adam Abernethy in BigDATAwire to learn about:
🌏 Selective retrieval examples in the real world
⚠️ Risk coverage without always-on cost
🔒 Flexibility without architectural lock-in
💻 The technological shifts that are converging to make selective retrieval possible and necessary
↔️ How selective retrieval bridges the gap between data engineering complexity and #security usability
💼 The business case for selective retrieval, especially for mid-size IT teams
🛂 Regaining control over data sprawl

Alert fatigue persists... and of course we are not happy about it. 🥴 #Security teams now process more log data than ever, but legacy tools cannot keep pace. Plus, attackers are more stealthy. And, when threat signals get buried in noise, orgs don’t just lose time—they lose ground. 😱

So what can SOC teams do about this? 🤔 Let's talk about campaign-centric detection. Say what? 👀 Why yes! There IS a way to make things better. 😃

Campaign-centric detection connects isolated events to uncover a full attack narrative—which means fewer alerts, but each one is more meaningful. So, analysts spend less time chasing dead ends and more time stopping real threats. 💯 Woot! Everyone wins!

Learn more about why you need a modern #SIEM. It's time to ditch that legacy thing and find out what a new SIEM can do for you! 🫵

Let's take a look at extracting data from #Graylog. Follow along as Tony Reinke shows you step-by-step how to transform your raw data from unstructured to structured.

We can find logs with raw text searches, but to gain insights in to the data we need to extract the different fields and their values, which will in turn make search easier and assist you in the creation of dashboards and alerts. 👍

Telemetry is the science of measuring something, transmitting the results to a remote location, and then interpreting the results. 📏 📊 Ok... so, what does that have to do with #cybersecurity, you ask? 🤔

In cybersecurity, telemetry refers to the security data that an organization’s systems, networks, applications, and devices generate. And, security telemetry is often derived from log data.💡

Learn how security and IT teams can use this data that their environments generate to create proactive security programs. ⬇️

Telemetry: What It Is and How it Enables Security

Telemetry involves measuring and transmitting results so they can be interpreted. Security telemetry enables organizations to build analytics that help them take proactive action.
