Episode notes
Right-Size Data Before Storage
- Right-size data sent to destinations regardless of whether you keep a SIEM or move to Snowflake.
- Balance cost, noise, and detection needs by selecting only necessary events per destination.
Routine Events Often Drive Volume
- Many high-volume events are non-security heartbeats or routine DNS traffic that inflate SIEM ingestion.
- Removing or archiving these reduces noise while preserving security-relevant data.
Pen Testing Shows Exploit Consequence
- Horizon3's autonomous agents chain issues across hosts to show real exploit consequences, not just flagged CVEs.
- Showing impact enables better prioritization than traditional vulnerability scanners.
