As noted in the article, it's become an imperative for organizations to move beyond their SIEMs to efficiently analyze their data. The shear volume and amount of data can quickly become expensive when appropriately integrating not only internal data from a SIEM, but external data such as OSINT and threat feeds. However, without that integration and correlation, all of that data becomes useless. By using an application like IKANOW's, which is based on open source technologies such as Hadoop, elasticsearch, and MongoDB, and without a cost based on amount of data, we provide information security teams the flexibility and scalability needed to meet their toughest data and analytic challenges such as mapping threats  to known vulnerabilities within an organization's cyber security infrastructure, helping prioritize IT spending and bolstering the organizations overall security posture.  - Jason Pender, SVP Field Operations, IKANOW.
