Security News > 2022 > January > The evolution of security analytics

As networks continue to evolve and security threats get more complex, security analytics plays an increasingly critical role in securing the enterprise.

By combining software, algorithms and analytic processes, security analytics helps IT and security teams proactively detect threats before they result in data loss or other harmful outcomes.

Today, security analytics plays a central role in Security Information and Event Management solutions and Network Detection and Response products.

To better understand this evolution and the capabilities of current security analytics solutions, let's dive into the three primary generations of security analytics advancement.

Many solutions started offering threat hunting capabilities as well, which made it easier for security teams to proactively search for suspicious activity that evaded perimeter security controls.

Security analytics have evolved quickly in recent years and as we look ahead, the industry is starting to combine SIEM, User Entity Behavioral Analytics, Security Orchestration, Automation and Response and Extended Detection and Response for a more automated and telemetry rich approach to threat detection and response.
