The scale, speed, and sophistication of cyber threats have grown beyond what traditional monitoring tools&mdash;and human analysts&mdash;can manage alone.

Meanwhile, enterprises are dealing with hybrid infrastructures, remote work, SaaS sprawl, and rising compliance obligations.<\/p>\n<p>In this environment, Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems must evolve. The modern SOC cannot rely on static correlation rules, manual investigations, or reactive alerting.
