Title: Cutting SIEM Cost Without Cutting Coverage

Abstract:

SIEM costs are climbing faster than most security budgets, and the usual fix, cutting log volume feels like trading cost for risk. So teams keep paying, or they trim and hope they didn't break a detection.

This session breaks down what's actually driving SIEM ingest cost, where the waste hides, and how to reduce volume without losing detection coverage. We'll look at where over-collection comes from, how to tell which logs earn their keep, and what a defensible reduction looks like when you have to answer for both the budget and the risk.

You'll leave with a clearer way to think about your SIEM spend and a practical approach to reducing it without sacrificing coverage.
