On a sunny summer vacation day, your childhood self is running around a playground looking everywhere for a small piece of paper as part of a treasure hunt. Each clue you find leads to another, then another, until you finally locate the hidden treasure. Investigating a security incident is similar to this process, but instead of clues written on paper, your clues are digital artifacts that attackers left in your systems. These digital artifacts are called indicators of compromise (IoCs).

Widespread implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) in security presents a paradox. On one hand, it helps security experts combat advanced threats at scale. On the other hand, AI is also contributing to the scale of sophistication of adversaries' threat campaigns. To fight fire with fire, organizations are increasingly automating security processes to make up for the uneven playing field on which they find themselves.

Sumo Logic’s 2025 Security Operations Insights report doesn’t just survey the field—it speaks for the SOC. From stacked queues and stale alerts to automation that never fires and dashboards that scroll but don’t inform, this report puts numbers behind what every analyst and CISO has felt for years: the system needs a reset. But this isn’t a story about failure. It’s a wake-up call—and a blueprint.

Security fatigue gets attention for a reason. Phishing emails, authentication prompts, and constant vigilance all take a toll. But alert fatigue is the deeper, more destructive force. It overwhelms analysts, delays response, and creates blind spots that adversaries exploit. Security teams today are buried under noisy alerts and fragmented tooling. False positives waste time. Manual triage eats up valuable analyst hours. Eventually, burnout sets in and threats slip by. It is not a hypothetical risk.

A security operations center (SOC) analyst enhances your security posture by defending the organization against cybersecurity threats. Responsible for monitoring, detecting, investigating, and responding to cyber threats, the SOC analyst is the first line of defense in keeping the organization’s IT ecosystem secure when an incident arises. A security analyst, similar to a SOC analyst, is responsible for proactive defense and security posture.

Many organizations face significant challenges with onboarding teams to a new or existing SIEM. Security teams grapple with escalating expenses tied to data ingestion, storage, and retention at scale. Steep learning curves can make setup an ongoing and frustrating chore, leading to mistakes and gaps in coverage. Further, SIEMs with constrained ecosystem integrations block users from the tools and customizable workflows they need and are comfortable with.

Not all log management and log analysis tools are created equal. With organizations like yours generating large amounts of log data, understanding how to manage, analyze, and secure these log files is key for maintaining system performance, meeting compliance requirements, detecting performance issues, and responding to incidents faster.
