Case Study

Organizations today face significant challenges with SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) solutions, particularly concerning licensing costs and data ingestion inefficiencies. As data volumes grow, the costs associated with SIEM licenses can become substantial, impacting the budget and overall efficiency of security operations.

1. SIEM Licensing Costs
   • SIEM solutions typically charge based on the volume of data ingested.
   • As data volumes increase, so do the licensing costs, which can be a significant financial burden for organizations.
2. Inefficient Data Formats
   • Many organizations deal with inefficient data formats such as JSON and other Key=Value formats.
   • These formats can be challenging to ingest efficiently into SIEM platforms like Splunk.
   • Inefficient ingestion leads to increased storage requirements and higher licensing expenses.

SuperCharge Ingestion – Our innovative Cribl based solution addresses these challenges by optimizing data ingestion processes, resulting in significant cost savings and enhanced efficiency.

1. Data Ingestion Optimization
   • We have developed a method to reduce data ingestion more than 30%.
   • This reduction is achieved without losing any data value, ensuring that the integrity and usefulness of the data are maintained.
2. Cost Savings
   • By reducing the volume of data ingested, organizations can save up to 40% on SIEM licensing costs.
   • This substantial cost reduction can alleviate budget constraints and allow for reallocation of resources to other critical areas.
3. Adaptability
   • Our solution is designed to adapt to new fields in the data automatically.
   • There is no need for modifications or manual intervention when new data fields are introduced, ensuring seamless integration and continued efficiency.

One of our notable success stories involves a leading pharmaceutical company that faced challenges with high data ingestion volumes and the associated costs of Splunk.

Scenario: The customer used to ingest Zscaler logs on Splunk, which had daily ingestion of nearly 800 GB causing significant costs.

Input Data: 804.20GB

Output Data: 341.96GB

Results:

• Our solution successfully reduced the data volume from 804.20GB to 341.96GB.
• This represents a 57.5% reduction in data volume.
• Customer experienced significant cost savings and improved data ingestion efficiency without any loss of data value.

Our solution provides a robust and efficient way to tackle the challenges of SIEM licensing costs and inefficient data formats. By optimizing data ingestion and ensuring adaptability to new data fields, we help organizations achieve substantial cost savings and operational efficiency. If you are looking to reduce your SIEM expenses and enhance data processing, our solution is the answer.
