ESG REPORT

Inside the SecOps
trends that are forging
the future.

See how cutting-edge security teams are reshaping their
strategy for tomorrow’s threats.
There’s a strong case for consolidation.
Traditional security information and event management (SIEM) tools may still be the standard today, but their dominance is fading. Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) research found that while 86% of respondents still rely on one or more SIEM tools, almost half (49%) are actively planning to replace them.
The high cost — driven by SIEM infrastructure upkeep, licensing fees and the need for specialized expertise — is a common pain point. With SIEM tools demanding significant investment, cost optimization is fueling a move toward consolidation and security platform adoption.
ESG’s data underscores this shift:
  • 55% of respondents believe their consolidation efforts enable them to keep up with the operational needs of security operations technologies.
  • 90% are working toward the vision of a centralized security data strategy.
  • 25% are actively consolidating their security operations tools.
