Case Study: Blackpoint Cyber achieves 80% savings and faster threat response with ChaosSearch

Blackpoint Cyber saves 80% with ChaosSearch

Blackpoint Cyber, a cybersecurity company, faced challenges with the high cost and complexity of their hosted Elasticsearch deployment used for analyzing large volumes of log data in Amazon S3 to detect sophisticated cyber threats. This was eroding their margins and hindering their ability to maintain a cost-efficient, unified data model for their elite ThreatOps. They turned to the vendor ChaosSearch to find a better solution.

By implementing ChaosSearch, Blackpoint Cyber was able to create a unified data model that separated storage and compute, using the ChaosSearch platform to analyze data directly in S3 via OpenSearch APIs. The solution delivered an 80% net savings over their previous Elasticsearch costs while providing the same high performance. This cost efficiency and speed enabled faster threat response times, simplified operations, and provided the foundational technology to drive higher revenue growth and accelerate their platform roadmap.
