Frost Radar: Modern Security Information and Event Management, 2026

This Frost Radar-TM assesses how security information and event management (SIEM) has evolved from log management to a cloud-native, AI-driven security operations platform. It benchmarks vendors on innovation and growth, highlighting the shift toward unified telemetry, embedded user and entity behavior analytics, and security orchestration, automation, and response that turns massive data volumes into faster, higher-fidelity detection and response. For CISOs and enterprise security leaders, the Frost Radar-TM provides a clear, strategic view of which SIEM platforms can realistically scale SOC operations amid rising threat complexity, regulatory pressure, and talent shortages. It helps buyers distinguish long-term platform leaders from tools that struggle with cost predictability, usability, or hybrid and multicloud demands, supporting more confident, future-proof investment decisions.
