Industry Leaders Collaborate on Abstract Security’s vendor agnostic eBook called “Applied Security Data Strategy”

In today’s hyperconnected world, cybersecurity professionals face an unprecedented challenge: managing an overwhelming flood of security data. According to recent research by the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), nearly half of cybersecurity and IT professionals say handling security data has become significantly more difficult in just the past two years. With every endpoint, server, application, and network device generating endless streams of logs and alerts, security teams are caught in a rat race—drowning in information yet struggling to detect and mitigate real threats efficiently.

The root cause is an expanding attack surface driven by cloud adoption, remote work, and the rapid proliferation of IoT devices. This ever-evolving threat landscape results in fragmented data sources, performance bottlenecks, and compliance challenges. Most organizations rely on multiple security repositories such as SIEM, XDR, NDR, and EDR platforms—creating visibility gaps and making security operations more complex than ever.
