Breach Ready. Board Ready. Built for Efficiency.
Breach Ready Board Ready, SIEM
How Securonix Data Pipeline Manager Transforms Security Spend into Strategic Advantage
By Beth Dannemiller, Director of Product Marketing
The Challenge: Too Much Data, Too Little Value
In today’s modern SOC, more data doesn’t always mean better outcomes. Security teams are overwhelmed by irrelevant telemetry, storage bills are out of control, and compliance regulations demand long-term retention—even for data with little threat value.
Legacy SIEMs treat all logs the same, flooding analysts with noise and slowing down response times. The result? Bloated infrastructure, delayed investigations, and boardroom frustration over unproven ROI.
In short, most SOCs are data-rich but insight-poor, and that’s no longer acceptable in an era of rising breaches and regulatory scrutiny.
The Solution: Intelligent Tiering with Securonix Data Pipeline Manager
Securonix Data Pipeline Manager, a core capability of the Unified Defense SIEM, was built to reverse this trend. It classifies, filters, and routes security telemetry in real time, aligning each data stream with its business value.
With Data Pipeline Manager’s dynamic, three-tier architecture, your SOC becomes both breach ready and board ready, balancing high-fidelity detection with measurable cost savings.
Tiered Data Architecture
Tier A – Analytics: Real-time enrichment and analytics for high-priority logs (authentications, anomalies, threat intel). Feeds UEBA, SOAR, and threat modeling pipelines.
Tier B – Investigation: Retains enriched, structured logs for investigation and threat hunting—without the cost of real-time processing.
Tier C – Basic: Low-value or long-retention logs are archived in low-cost storage, fully searchable via Spotter, ensuring compliance and forensic readiness.
“As security data grows, not all of it needs to be sent to the SIEM for real-time detection. Some data, especially logs kept only for compliance, can go into more cost-effective storage. This is particularly useful for highly regulated industries like finance and healthcare, where auditors and regulators often require logs to be stored for five to seven years. By directing only high-value security data to the SIEM, while archiving compliance data separately, customers can reduce costs by up to 30%.” – Kash Shaikh, CEO, Securonix
Breach Ready: Speed Without Sacrifice
With Data Pipeline Manager, noise is filtered at the source. Analysts focus on high-fidelity alerts, accelerating triage and response with clear visibility into enriched Tier A and B logs.
And when an investigation requires long-retention data, Tier C logs are still query-ready—no blind spots, no dead ends.
Board Ready: Built for Audit, Optimized for ROI
Boards and regulators demand proof—not just activity. Data Pipeline Manager enables automated, policy-driven retention aligned to regulatory mandates like PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR. Every log is accounted for, and every dollar is justified.
By optimizing storage across tiers, customers reduce SIEM costs by up to 60%, while maintaining complete visibility. It’s cost-efficient with audit readiness built in.

Real-World Results: Security That Performs and Proves Itself
DNS Log Optimization
Organizations often waste resources processing logs that provide little security value. By intelligently filtering noise and prioritizing high-value data, enterprises have reduced DNS log processing costs by more than half—without sacrificing visibility into critical threats. The result: lower spend, leaner operations, and sharper focus on signals that matter.
Real-Time Threat Detection
Modern SOCs can strengthen coverage while spending less. By ensuring high-priority alerts remain instantly searchable and pushing lower-value data into cost-optimized storage, security teams expand detection fidelity while reducing infrastructure costs. The outcome is real-time insight into true threats—delivered at a fraction of the cost.
Compliance Without Cost Overhead
Regulatory requirements demand long-term data retention—but that doesn’t have to mean ballooning storage bills. With intelligent data strategies, organizations can retain years of logs for compliance while maintaining fast search capabilities. The payoff: continuous compliance, simplified audit readiness, and significant storage savings.
Retroactive Threat Hunting
Threats don’t always reveal themselves immediately. By keeping historical logs accessible, SOC teams can quickly pivot investigations and retroactively identify indicators of compromise (IOCs). This enables faster, deeper hunts with zero disruption, providing analysts with full visibility to validate attacks, accelerate containment, and close security gaps.
Put simply: where Gartner lays out the “what” of avoiding SIEM cost bloat, Securonix delivers the “how.”
The Bottom Line: Smarter, Leaner, Future-Ready
Securonix Data Pipeline Manager equips SOCs to:
- Detect Faster — Prioritize signal over noise with real-time analytics on critical data
- Cut Costs — Reduce storage and compute spend without sacrificing coverage
- Prove Compliance — Automate retention, enable audit readiness, and deliver clear reporting
- Scale Securely — Ingest more, search deeper, and respond faster—without breaking the budget
With Data Pipeline Manager, security becomes reactive and strategic. It’s the foundation for a resilient, compliant, and efficient SOC that performs under pressure and proves its value at every level.
