SIEM Is Not Dead. It Just Stopped Moving Fast Enough.
Security Bouelevard, Thursday, March 19th, 2026
I recently joined Tim Peacock and Anton Chuvakin on the Google Cloud Security Podcast to talk about SIEM, AI SOC, pricing, federated architecture, detection engineering, and why network telemetry is quietly becoming important again.
The short version is simple: SIEM is not dead. Calling it obsolete makes for good marketing, but it is not a serious thesis.
"The new wave of AI SOC, SIEM, and pipeline vendors is not proving SIEM is dead. It is proving SIEM vendors left too many gaps open for too long."
The recent wave of AI SOC startups, pipeline vendors, and new SIEM entrants is a response to real pain in the market. They are not replacing SIEM. They are capitalizing on the gaps incumbent vendors left open.
