Case Study: Nitro achieves 365+ day centralized security log retention with Bronto

Nitro centralizes security logs with Bronto and extends retention to 365+ days

Nitro, a global document productivity platform, faced the challenge of managing massive, fragmented security logs from its transition to a SaaS model. Their logs were scattered across Datadog and Azure, with retention limited to as little as three days due to high costs, which hindered security monitoring and compliance with standards like HIPAA and SOC2. This short data window also restricted their ability to perform AI-driven analysis.

To address this, Nitro implemented Bronto as a centralized security logging layer. The solution streamlined log ingestion from Microsoft Defender, Entra ID, and Cisco Meraki via Azure Event Hubs. By switching to Bronto, Nitro achieved 365-day log retention, exceeding compliance requirements, and gained sub-second search capabilities. This provided immediate benefits for threat hunting and unlocked a broader data window for AI initiatives, all while significantly reducing costs compared to their previous setup with Datadog.
