It has been off to the races for the Sumo Logic and AWS teams since the general availability of the Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM powered by AWS solution on June 1, 2021. We are excited for the overwhelming response from customers from across all segments, industries and geographies.

The Sumo Logic team is excited to announce that it has been named a Visionary in the Gartner 2021 Magic Quadrant for Security Information Event Management (SIEM). We believe our placement in the Visionary quadrant reflects the value and success our customers have realized by using our cloud-native security platform and the innovative ways in which it solves SIEM and modern security operations use cases.

Security and IT teams may be loathe to admit it, but security has historically been mostly a reactive affair. Security engineers monitored for threats and responded when they detected one. They may have also taken steps to harden their systems against breaches, but they didn’t proactively fight the threats themselves. That is changing as more and more teams add threat hunting as one pillar of their cybersecurity strategies.

Threat hunting is emerging as a must-have addition to cybersecurity strategies. By enabling organizations to find and mitigate threats before they ever touch their networks or systems, threat hunting provides the basis for a more proactive security posture – and one that delivers higher ROI on security tools and processes. How can businesses actually add threat hunting to their security arsenals? That’s where solutions like Sumo Logic's Cloud SIEM come in.

Companies generate data at an exponential rate, and the task of analyzing data to produce relevant security insights can be overwhelming. With evolving market dynamics and threat landscapes, security teams have a greater need for integrated and scalable monitoring that provides real-time and meaningful insights into the state of organizational security posture.

Organizations that want to do business with the Department of Defense are required to achieve CMMC compliance by the end of this year. Sumo Logic can serve as a tool to assist your organization in achieving CMMC compliance.

Over the past decade, the way we build and deploy applications has changed dramatically. The explosion of public cloud providers enables us to deploy software without engaging in a drawn-out process to procure and set up infrastructure. Agile, DevOps, Continuous Integration, Continuous Deployment, and other changes to how we work have dramatically accelerated the speed with which we can get new applications and updates in front of our users.

The Sumo Logic team is pleased to introduce the general availability of Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM powered by AWS. This joint solution will empower CIOs, CISOs, security and IT leaders to solve modern and legacy security operations use cases for Enterprises of all sizes and maturity with deep and contextualized insights to reduce the time to detect and respond to threats.
