Omdia Spotlights Security Data Fabrics: A New Era in Cybersecurity Data Management

Cybersecurity professionals have long wrestled with fragmented data, siloed systems, and the high cost of managing security telemetry. Now, for the first time, an analyst report zeroes in on a transformative solution: security data fabrics.

Omdia’s Market Landscape: Cybersecurity Data Fabrics 2025 marks a milestone—it’s the first analyst report dedicated exclusively to the emerging market of security data fabrics. The report explores how these architectures are reshaping the way organizations manage, analyze, and act on security data.

Why Security Data Fabrics Matter

While a data fabric is a broad solution for enterprise-wide data management, a security data fabric is purpose-built to address the unique challenges of cybersecurity—like high-volume alerts, threat detection, and compliance automation.

Omdia positions security data fabrics as a strategic response to the limitations of existing security operations center (SOC) tools, especially next-generation security information and event management (SIEM) solutions, as well as the growing need for flexible, federated data architectures.

Security data fabrics enable:

• Many-to-many data flows from any source to any destination
• Real-time analytics aggregated from diverse security tools
• Automated data governance including lineage, enrichment, and compliance
• Cost optimization through intelligent data routing and storage tiering

Security data fabrics are not just about data movement—they’re about intelligence, orchestration, and democratization of security data.

Key Capabilities Identified by Omdia

According to the report, a robust security data fabric should include:

• Data cataloging and metadata management
• Security data orchestration with real-time streaming and API integrations
• AI-powered normalization and enrichment
• Data governance features like lineage tracking, access control, schema drift monitoring to ensure data quality, and compliance with regulatory mandates
• Support for open formats like the open cybersecurity schema format (OCSF) and compatibility with data storage solutions, including (but not limited to) security data lakes and warehouses.

These capabilities allow organizations to unify their security stack, reduce vendor lock-in, and unlock new use cases—from better threat hunting to vulnerability and asset exposure management, continuous compliance monitoring and risk management.

Unlocking the Power of Cybersecurity Data Fabrics

Cybersecurity data fabrics are emerging as strategic enablers for the modern SOC. By leveraging metadata-driven approaches, these fabrics simplify data discovery, access, and governance across diverse sources. This enables real-time analytics, consistent policy enforcement, and greater flexibility in how security data is used.

While SIEM augmentation remains a common use case, data fabrics go far beyond log data management. They support a broad mix of structured and unstructured datasets, including identity, asset, and vulnerability data, which are critical for compliance, threat detection, and risk analysis. Technologies like data virtualization and graph databases further enhance the ability to visualize relationships and analyze threats dynamically.

Looking ahead, automation will play a central role. AI-powered agents will streamline data ingestion, adapt to changing APIs, and proactively discover new data sources. Automated governance features—such as lineage tracking and access control—will reduce overhead and improve data quality. Smart pipelines may even evolve into real-time threat sensors, executing detection logic before data reaches analytic platforms.

In short, cybersecurity data fabrics are reshaping how organizations manage and utilize security telemetry—unlocking new efficiencies, insights, and resilience in an increasingly complex digital landscape.
