Modern SIEMs are increasingly integrating:
- machine learning
- behavioral analysis
- anomaly detection
- AI assistants
- query generation
- Incident summary
- aid to the investigation.
AI can, in particular, help an analyst understand a complex sequence of events.
However, a fundamental mistake must be avoided:
AI does not replace data quality.
If logs are incomplete, misconfigured, or absent, an AI system will not be able to magically reconstruct the missing information.
The rule remains:
Garbage in, garbage out.
