Fallacy: A fallacy, also known as paralogia in modern psychology, is the use of invalid or otherwise faulty reasoning in the construction of an argument that may appear to be well-reasoned if unnoticed - Wikipedia The SIEM is one of the oldest tools in the cybersecurity arsenal, having passed through multiple generations and with a long evolutionary history. Security incident and event management is a technology solution with a broad range of use cases, from simple compliance reporting to advanced threat detection and threat hunting. Still, the cybersecurity space keeps seeing many technology providers pushing for the adoption of SIEM alternatives. As part of those efforts, they appeal to multiple claims, from the silly "SIEM is dead" (the recent acquisition of Splunk by Cisco seems to say something different) to concerns about complexity and cost. At first, some of those claims may seem reasonable, but most of them are good examples of logical fallacies. Let's see why.
