The Sumo Logic team is excited to announce that it has been named a Visionary in the Gartner 2021 Magic Quadrant for Security Information Event Management (SIEM). We believe our placement in the Visionary quadrant reflects the value and success our customers have realized by using our cloud-native security platform and the innovative ways in which it solves SIEM and modern security operations use cases.

Many engineering organizations embrace the DevOps philosophy as a strategy for speeding software development and delivery while simultaneously improving the overall quality of the end product.

Security and IT teams may be loathe to admit it, but security has historically been mostly a reactive affair. Security engineers monitored for threats and responded when they detected one. They may have also taken steps to harden their systems against breaches, but they didn’t proactively fight the threats themselves. That is changing as more and more teams add threat hunting as one pillar of their cybersecurity strategies.

SREs, developers and DevOps staff for mission-critical modern apps know being notified in real-time when or before critical conditions occur can make a massive difference in end-user digital experiences and in meeting a 99.99% availability objective.

Threat hunting is emerging as a must-have addition to cybersecurity strategies. By enabling organizations to find and mitigate threats before they ever touch their networks or systems, threat hunting provides the basis for a more proactive security posture – and one that delivers higher ROI on security tools and processes. How can businesses actually add threat hunting to their security arsenals? That’s where solutions like Sumo Logic's Cloud SIEM come in.

Companies generate data at an exponential rate, and the task of analyzing data to produce relevant security insights can be overwhelming. With evolving market dynamics and threat landscapes, security teams have a greater need for integrated and scalable monitoring that provides real-time and meaningful insights into the state of organizational security posture.
