VirtualMetric at Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit 2026

We’re heading to the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit 2026, 22-24 September in London. You’ll find us at booth N109.

The summit brings CISOs and their teams together around this year’s core topics. Cost optimization, AI adoption, and SecOps maturity lead the agenda. Those are the same pressures teams bring to us. SIEM ingestion volume keeps climbing, budgets stay flat, and detection teams need clean data to work with.

DataStream is a security data pipeline that collects, normalizes, enriches, and routes security telemetry before the data reaches your SIEM. It reduces ingestion volume by 50–90% and keeps the fields your detections rely on.

What you can do at our booth

See a live demo. Walk through DataStream with our team. We’ll show how the pipeline handles real sources, schemas, and routing.

Talk with our CEO. Book a time slot with Jimmy Wind to talk through your SIEM costs, data volume, or migration plans.

Play Cut the Noise. Our booth game runs all three days. Winners take home a pair of premium noise-cancelling headphones. We announce them at the Networking Reception on the evenings of 22 and 23 September.

Sessions worth adding to your agenda

Two sessions led by Alex Tytarenko, Sr Director Analyst at Gartner, cover ground close to what DataStream addresses:

Magic Quadrant and Critical Capabilities for SIEM, 11:00-11:20 BST. This presentation discusses the latest SIEM Magic Quadrant, and what forces and trends are disruptive to the SIEM market. This presentation is for cybersecurity leaders looking to reevaluate their SIEM strategy and understand what key capabilities are required from modern SIEM.
Empower Your SecOps: Detection Engineering Essentials, 14:15-14:45 BST. This session introduces detection engineering as a sustainable, business-driven practice. It covers the essentials: key components, workflow, and how AI supports the process. The session is for security teams looking to understand what their SOC can detect, identify coverage gaps, and move from reactive alert handling to a structured detection practice.

Both appear on the official summit agenda.
