The problem: cutting blind is a gamble
SIEM ingest costs keep climbing, and the obvious lever is cutting log volume. But the SOC owns the detections running on those logs, and a blind cut can silently break one. Nothing fails at the moment of the cut. You find out later, when a detection you counted on does not fire during a real incident.
The stakes keep rising. As the SOC leans harder on AI, there are more detections, more automation, and more dependence on data being complete and trusted. The team has to take out cost without gambling coverage, and prove coverage held rather than hope it did.
