SIEM Solutions: Solving Security Data Pipeline Problems & Cost

Описание: In this episode of Cybersecurity District, we sit down with the founders of VirtualMetric, one of Europe’s most promising scale-ups in the cybersecurity space. Meet Yusuf Öztürk, CTO and original brain behind the platform, and Jimmy Wind, CEO and commercial strategist who joined the company to accelerate growth and take it global.

VirtualMetric started as a performance monitoring tool but made a smart pivot into cybersecurity, solving one of the biggest pain points for Security Operations Centers (SOCs): the skyrocketing cost and inefficiency of SIEM platforms like Microsoft Sentinel.

In this episode, we dive into:

How VirtualMetric evolved from IT monitoring to cybersecurity
The cost-saving power of their security data pipeline
Why Microsoft and MSSPs are embracing their solution
Lessons in product-market fit, pivoting, and startup resilience
Advice for first-time founders in cybersecurity
Yusuf and Jimmy share practical insights on filtering and enriching telemetry data, how to reduce your SIEM bill by 70–80%, and why smart pre-processing is a must-have for every CISO.

Key Takeaways:
Pre-process your data before it hits your SIEM to save time and money
Automation beats manual parsing every time
Focus on solving real pain points, not changing behavior
