The key architectural test is whether every asset resolves to one record across all domains. The post covers the trade-offs between unified platforms and point solutions, the four core architectural properties (shared data model, open integration, unified policy, cross-domain correlation), and what 'AI-native' actually means architecturally. Practical evaluation criteria include testing asset resolution with real machine names, verifying OCSF support and bulk data export, and understanding which modules are native vs. acquired. Migration costs — rebuilding detections, exceptions, and integrations — are often underestimated. Orca Security is presented as an example applying these principles to cloud infrastructure via agentless SideScanning. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
