SIEM's Next Chapter: Evolving, Not Dying

Oct 9, 2025 By Jeff Darrington In Graylog
The obituary for SIEM has been written more than once. The latest headline from Dark Reading calls it “dying a slow death.” Catchy. But wrong. If you work in a SOC, you already know the need for centralized, contextualized visibility is not going anywhere. What is changing the future of SIEM, is how SIEM delivers it. If you are still thinking of SIEM as a clunky, high-cost log hoarder, you are stuck in the wrong decade.

How Graylog Helps You Spot LockBit-Style Attacks Sooner

Oct 6, 2025 By Jeff Darrington In Graylog
The DFIR Report recently detailed a LockBit attack with ransomware intrusion that succeeded without advanced exploits or zero-day vulnerabilities. The attack relied on a stolen AnyDesk installer, credential reuse, and renamed PowerShell scripts that blended into routine activity. These moves were not sophisticated, but they were fast and effective. The end result: complete domain encryption.

Smart Logging Without the Price Trap

Oct 3, 2025 By Graylog In Graylog
How much value are you really getting from your logs, and what are you giving up to stay on budget? In this episode of Logs and Lattes, host Palmer Wallace sits down with Seth Goldhammer, VP of Product Management at Graylog, for a candid conversation about the hidden cost of traditional SIEM pricing. Seth explains how ingest-based and resource-heavy licensing models pressure security teams into tough tradeoffs, such as dropping logs, tuning down detections, or limiting retention just to avoid budget overages.

Security Pipelines Are Broken. Here's How to Fix Them

Oct 2, 2025 By The Graylog Team In Graylog
There’s a quiet failure at the heart of many security programs. It’s not a lack of data. It’s too much of the wrong data. Telemetry pipelines built for volume, not visibility, now flood teams with noise instead of insight. The result? More alerts. Slower response. Overworked analysts are stuck maintaining ingestion rules instead of catching real threats.

The Value of a Robust Vulnerability Management Program

Sep 29, 2025 By Jeff Darrington In Graylog
Back before live security video feeds in homes, people would walk around at night checking to make sure they locked every window and door. They took these precautions because they knew that a single open lock gave burglars an opportunity to steal from them. For organizations, vulnerability management programs are a way to lock the doors against cybercriminals.

Choosing a SIEM doesn’t have to mean trade-offs. This video shows how Graylog SIEM on AWS delivers fast detection, predictable costs, and analyst-friendly workflows — without the compromises that hold legacy platforms back. Legacy ingest-based SIEMs force security teams to pick between visibility, cost, and analyst efficiency.

Compliance vs Security: The Business Value of Alignment

Sep 24, 2025 By Jeff Darrington In Graylog
Compliance is not, nor has it ever been, security. Compliance is the spellcheck of the security world. Security is the work that people do every day to implement, enforce, and monitor the controls that protect systems, networks, applications, devices, users, and data. Compliance is the process of reviewing security work to ensure that it functions as intended. Compliance is an important component of an organization’s security posture.

Cyber Attack Disrupts Airports Across Europe

Sep 22, 2025 By Jeff Darrington In Graylog
When Heathrow, Brussels, and Berlin airports suffered a cyber attack that disrupted their check-in and baggage systems, the fallout was immediate. Flights were canceled, queues stretched through terminals, and staff scrambled to switch to manual processes. For some of Europe’s busiest hubs, this was more than an inconvenience. It was a reminder that disruption, not data theft, is often the attacker’s goal.

40 Infosec Metrics Organizations Should Track

Sep 9, 2025 By Jeff Darrington In Graylog
In today’s data-driven world, CISOs and senior leadership need to prove that their security programs mitigate risk. Just like grades theoretically quantify how well students understand material their teachers present, cybersecurity metrics quantify your security controls’ effectiveness. As the threat landscape becomes more complex, security teams struggle to identify the metrics that best showcase their value.

Five Essential Strategies to Combat Phishing Threats

Sep 8, 2025 By Jeff Darrington In Graylog
Phishing threats remain one of the most common and effective attack methods. Research shows it contributes to over 34% of confirmed breaches. The financial impact is significant as well, with credential-related breaches averaging $4.76 million per incident. And despite years of security awareness training, nearly a third of employees still click on simulated phishing emails. Why does phishing work so well? Attackers exploit gaps in visibility, speed, and user behavior.
