Why SIEM can be a bad choice for mid-market companies.
SIEM is like a bike. It stops when you stop pedaling. Every organization – no matter the size – has data, network, IP, and other information to protect.

But there’s a catch: managing a SIEM is akin to riding a bike uphill. When you stop pedaling the bike, you stop moving altogether. Constant attention is required to keep things moving. Managing a SIEM is a full-time job, which requires perpetual focus. With SIEM, you manage the tools not the threats.
