VirtualMetric

Our engineering team can't stop expanding DataStream integrations to help security teams move and shape their data more effectively across platforms⚡      The latest addition is Google SecOps. With pre-ingest UDM normalization, schema validation, and ingestion automation, teams can send structured and predictable security telemetry into Google SecOps at scale.     Read a detailed overview here👉 https://lnkd.in/envVX29Q #GoogleSecOps #GoogleCloudSecurity #SOC #SecurityOperations #VirtualMetric #DataStream

We are very happy to be at the MC2MC Connect event in Antwerp with the Team. Great to exchange with Microsoft Security community and talk about #securitydatapipelines. Congrats to Wim Matthyssen and Team for a complete sold out event, next year will be even bigger! #telemetrypipelines #MC2MC #ConnectMC2MC #Collaborate #Create

Solving the right problem 🎯 In this episode of the Cyber Security District Podcast, our founders Yusuf Ozturk and Jimmy Wind share insights on AI, data, security, and building a business in a fast-moving market. They talk about staying flexible, listening to customers, pivoting when needed, and focusing on problems that are big, painful, and worth solving. A relevant listen for builders and leaders shaping the modern cybersecurity world🛡️ 👉 https://lnkd.in/eP46V4DK

Great to see that MC2MC Connect 2026 is sold out! If you’re attending, come by our VirtualMetric area and meet the team: Yusuf Ozturk, Jimmy Wind, Michiel van Eck, and Mark Arts. We’ll be there throughout the day to talk Microsoft Security, Sentinel, security data pipelines, and real-world SOC challenges. Looking forward to great conversations with everyone attending in Antwerp. See you there! #MC2MC #ConnectMC2MC2026 #MicrosoftSecurity #MicrosoftSentinel #VirtualMetric

In a distributed IT and OT environment, security pipelines can quickly become fragile and difficult to maintain.  In this customer story, a gas and LNG infrastructure company faced growing pressure from unreliable telemetry, manual overhead, and rising SIEM spend as its operations scaled.  Read the full story to see how these challenges were addressed in practice 👉 https://lnkd.in/eUDUsXYR #SIEM #MicrosoftSentinel #SOC #SecurityOperations #VirtualMetric #DataStream

🆕 Pipeline downtime and blind spots have been among the most expensive failures in security operations. But not anymore. In our latest release, we introduced clustered Directors that keep log processing available even when individual components fail. We also added a pipeline debugger that lets teams test and troubleshoot pipelines before deployment, reducing downtime and visibility gaps. Together with other improvements, these changes reinforce DataStream as a reliable foundation for resilient security operations. If you manage security telemetry at scale, this release is worth a closer look.  👉 https://lnkd.in/eePKDYb4 #securitydatapipeline #SOC #SecurityOperations #VirtualMetric #DataStream 

Data collection often becomes difficult after the first deployment.  As volumes grow, teams start dealing with reliability issues, complex routing logic, schema mismatches, and increasing operational effort just to keep pipelines stable.   This article looks at VirtualMetric’s data collection architecture and how these challenges are addressed at the design level.

Security data collection has become a defining factor for how SOCs scale. Teams relying on purely agent-based or purely agentless models often run into the same issues: forced collection choices, data processed outside their environment, SIEM lock-in, or added infrastructure just to keep pipelines reliable. A hybrid approach avoids many of these tradeoffs by using agentless collection by default and introducing agents only where deeper visibility or local processing is needed. In our new article, we cover where each model fits in practice and how hybrid collection balances operational efficiency with consistent coverage. 👉 https://lnkd.in/e3PJpQuA #SecurityDataCollection #SecurityArchitecture #SOC #SecurityOperations #VirtualMetric #DataStream 

🚩 And our next destination: Antwerp! We’re excited to continue the journey as a Gold Sponsor of MC2MC Connect 2026, taking place on February 5 in Antwerp. A full-day, community-driven Microsoft event focused on Cloud, Endpoint, and Security, Compliance & Identity, and a great place to connect with practitioners and community members from Belgium and beyond. See you there in three weeks! #MC2MC #ConnectMC2MC2026 #MicrosoftSecurity #MicrosoftSentinel #VirtualMetric
