🔐 What We Discuss:
1️⃣ Why Has the Amount of Security Exploded?
• Tool sprawl across endpoint, cloud, data, identities & apps
• AI, cloud, SaaS, microservices — multiplying the attack surface
• The shift from logs → events → telemetry → full-fidelity everything
2️⃣ When Did This Explosion Start — And What Triggered It?
• Cloud acceleration as the main catalyst
• Compliance frameworks multiplying requirements
• The “everything must be logged” mindset
• GenAI widening the data gap even further
3️⃣ The Headaches: Complexity, Noise & Burnout
• Detection engineering overload
• Noisy SIEMs and high ingestion bills
• Cloud logs, identity logs, app logs — everywhere
• Why teams burn out before they innovate
4️⃣ What Companies Should Do to Fix This
• Consolidation and prioritization
• Building minimum viable detection
• Logging with intention — not “log everything”
• Risk-driven filtering & smart data pipelines
5️⃣ How Hydrolix Helps Teams Analyze Massive Datasets Fast
• Querying petabyte-scale data in seconds
• Reducing cost + noise
• Empowering analysts and IR teams with usable data
• Why scalable data architecture is the real future of detection
