Security Voices

After 2 decades of trying to make SIEMs work, security data lakes are a hot topic as they present an increasingly attractive alternative. The only hotter topic is ChatGPT and the game changing potential of AI. So in episode 52 of Security Voices, we mash the two together as Dave, Pathik Patel (Informatica), and Omer Singer (Snowflake) explore the many angles of security data lakes with an AI-assist from ChatGPT.From a functional definition to dishing on whether security data lakes signal the death of the SIEM, ChatGPT weighs in impressively early in the episode. Its later performance is much more suspect, seemingly gassing out under the pressure of harder (more poorly formed?) questions and likely a knee-buckling workload from millions of others testing the service simultaneously. The humans go on to discuss the real-time expectations for SIEMs vs. the “single source of truth” nature of security data lakes which lead to an exploration of product “suites” vs. specialized services and promise of the data lake
