The Golden Throne: Stop Blindly Flushing

Apr 9, 2026 By Graylog In Graylog
Most folks build their SIEM the same way they load a junk drawer: by shoving in whatever they already have—Active Directory, firewalls, and a whole lot of “eh, why not.” But at Graylog, we think you deserve better than a glorified log toilet. In this talk, we’ll flip the script: start with the problems you’re actually trying to solve, then figure out what you need to know, then what data supports that.

Build your SIEM like it has a brain—and a budget.
