Is the End of Detection-Based Security Here? 

I started in security in the late 2000s doing intrusion detection and incident response. Since then, the world has undergone a cloud native renaissance, but security monitoring largely looks the same. Although detection has shifted from network traffic analysis to runtime inspection, most innovation focuses on making sensors more computationally efficient.

Security monitoring remains important in cloud native environments, but it’s too often considered the only aspect of security. In 2025, the biggest security companies still build…
