Gartner收购Burton Group后，Burton的IT1 Reasearch成为了Gartner的一个子品牌。Burton的研究报告一般都比较深入细致，更偏技术。就在2010年9月24日，Ramon Krikken发表一份研究报告《SIEM Technology Assessment》。
摘要如下：The ongoing evolution of threats and regulations requires the enterprise to put in place systems to perform security monitoring and auditing of a variety of IT components. Security information and event management (SIEM) is an important technology component of an enterprise security auditing and monitoring strategy. In this assessment, Analyst Ramon Krikken examines SIEM technology (including the data it collects, as well as its architecture, analysis capabilities, and user interface) and its place in the greater security monitoring, auditing, and management infrastructure. He also provides recommendations for implementing SIEM in enterprise environments.
