Our Complimentary Gartner® Report: Telemetry Pipelines in Security Operations
Telemetry pipelines are gaining mainstream adoption and
Gartner names Bindplane as a Sample Vendor.
In this complimentary reprint, you’ll learn how telemetry pipelines help IT and security teams cut costs, simplify data management, and unify observability and security telemetry at scale.
Our Facts
- Telemetry pipelines are now in the early mainstream, with adoption among 5%–20% of organizations.
- Increasing volume of telemetry: Modern workloads generate significant amounts of telemetry, which can take many forms and may originate in many locations.
Our Recommendations
- Consolidate silos of telemetry data by deploying pipelines that unify observability and security use cases.
- Increasing volume of telemetry: Modern workloads generate significant amounts of telemetry, which can take many forms and may originate in many locations.
- Emphasize consistency by limiting the output formats. Although telemetry pipelines are inherently many-to-many solutions, make “many to fewer” the objective.
Our Ideas
- Leverage pipelines to optimize bandwidth utilization, reduce redundant agents, and normalize telemetry across systems.
- As vendors continue to support CSMA architecture principles for their products, vendor lock-in will likely be a concern. If a proprietary approach is employed, it may serve to block, rather than facilitate, cross-tool integration; then, gaps in coverage will likely appear, and this inflexibility will drive up costs.
