It’s a huge time saver and headache eliminator for many, as getting CloudTrail from all organization accounts to a SIEM can be tedious and time-consuming. But all this comes with a cost.

When you’re working with large data sets, having that data structured in a way that means you can use software to process and understand it will enable you to derive insights far more quickly than any manual approach. Logfile data is no exception.
