Splunk charges you in one of two ways: by how much data you send it each day, or by how much compute your searches and dashboards use. Security teams pay for both the platform and Splunk Enterprise Security, the app that turns Splunk into a SIEM, which is priced separately on top. This guide breaks down every part of a 2026 Splunk bill, works through a real, sourced pricing example, and lays out the ways to bring the number down, including the one lever many teams overlook.

Google SecOps, formerly Chronicle, is sold in three packages priced on ingestion volume, and Google publishes no list prices for any of them. Every quote is built around your data volume, retention needs, and package tier, which makes budgeting hard without a sales conversation. This guide breaks down how the pricing model actually works, what ends up on a real bill. It also covers how to reduce that bill before data reaches the platform. Prefer to jump straight to the numbers?

August 5, 2026 The latest VirtualMetric DataStream release focuses on how pipeline changes move from idea to deployment, safely and without slowing teams down. Version 2.1 puts a deliberate step between building a pipeline and shipping it to production, along with new deployment options for Directors and multi-tenant ingestion for teams managing data across many customers. Here’s what’s new.

Microsoft Sentinel’s cost is driven almost entirely by one variable: how much data you send it. That is also why so many teams underestimate their bill. A few noisy log sources or one new integration can push daily ingestion up for weeks before anyone notices. And the first signal is usually the invoice. This guide breaks down every component of a 2026 Sentinel bill.

The security data pipeline platform has become the most strategically important layer in the modern SOC, and in the last twelve months, the largest security vendors have paid to own it. CrowdStrike acquired Onum for $290 million, SentinelOne acquired Observo AI for $225 million, and Palo Alto Networks acquired Chronosphere for $3.35 billion. The layer that sits between your data sources and your security tools now decides what every downstream tool receives, at what cost, and in what shape.

Every detection rule, every threat hunt, every AI agent you deploy rests on one silent assumption: that the data describing an attack actually reached your tools. When it doesn’t, nothing above it can save you, and no one gets an alert that the data was missing. Security teams invest heavily in the sharp end of the stack: detection content, threat intelligence, response playbooks, and increasingly, AI agents to triage and investigate at machine speed.

Your organization has approved AI platforms for development, data science, and productivity. Procurement signed off. Legal reviewed the terms. Employees are using them. The tools are sanctioned. What isn’t sanctioned is invisibility. The administrative layer of every AI platform in your environment — OpenAI, Amazon Bedrock, Google Gemini, Cursor, Databricks, Glean and others — generates security-relevant events that your SIEM has never seen.

June 19, 2026 This is not a regular monthly update. DataStream Version 2.0 is a milestone — the result of relentless building, learning from customers, and pushing the platform toward what enterprise-scale security operations actually demand. The core has been rebuilt, new capabilities have been added across the board, and the platform is now faster, more resilient, and more extensible than ever. Here’s what’s new.

The shift to autonomous and AI-assisted security operations is well underway. But there is a quiet infrastructure decision that will determine whether your AI agents are sharp or sluggish: how your security data is structured before it ever reaches them.

The latest VirtualMetric DataStream release (version 1.10.1) focuses on three things security and infrastructure teams consistently need: better credential management, faster agent deployment at scale, and broader connectivity. Here’s what’s new.
Security teams lose time and detection quality to the same root cause: inconsistent, noisy, poorly structured data. VirtualMetric DataStream is a security data pipeline platform that fixes the data layer — so your SIEM, data lake, and analytics tools get clean, normalized, actionable telemetry. What DataStream delivers: The result: reliable security telemetry, faster threat correlation, and stronger detections across your entire stack.
From free trial signup to live security telemetry flowing into Microsoft Sentinel — this demo covers the full DataStream setup end to end, in under 14 minutes. No pre-built environment, no shortcuts. Watch the step-by-step tutorials.
Microsoft Sentinel data lake is becoming a core component of modern security architectures. In this on-demand webinar, Microsoft and VirtualMetric discuss how security teams can approach Sentinel data lake adoption to improve visibility, control cost, and prepare their data for AI-driven security workflows.
