Modern SIEM solutions often rely on outdated endpoint agents that increase costs and operational complexities. While still necessary in some cases, there's a transition towards cloud-native, agentless solutions that can centralize data processing, simplify operations, and reduce burdens on endpoints. The shift acknowledges the end of on-prem resource constraints, urging organizations to develop a plan for gradual phasing out of agents while maintaining security and compliance. Embracing agentless architecture is increasingly seen as essential for future readiness and efficiency.
