What Is a Data Pipeline

In today’s tech world, IT and security technologies are the functional equivalent of Pokemon. To gain the insights you need, you “gotta catch ‘em all” by ingesting, correlating, and analyzing as much security data as possible. Data pipelines organize chaotic information flows into structured streams, ensuring that data is reliable, processed, and ready for use.
