Case Study: Accenture achieves faster, more reliable federal data processing with Cribl Stream

Accenture Federal Services Delivers Reliability, Speed, and Flexibility to Federal Agencies with Cribl Stream™

Accenture Federal Services (AFS) was supporting a major federal agency with a large-scale security data project, where reliability, speed, and flexibility were critical. The team needed to ingest and standardize data from 90 sites and multiple sources, including Bro/Zeek, Palo Alto Networks, InfoBlox, and custom sensors, while handling roughly 5TB of data per day and improving Splunk performance. Cribl Stream was used to help ensure accurate, properly formatted data with strong visibility into ingest quality.

Using Cribl Stream, Accenture Federal Services enriched, cleaned, and restructured data in flight before indexing it in Splunk, adding fields, fixing timestamps, removing unnecessary content, and improving SIEM compliance. This reduced the need for scheduled searches and lookup-building jobs, made Splunk more efficient and affordable, and gave analysts faster access to actionable data. Cribl also helped improve MTTD and MTTR, while giving AFS better control over outcomes in a high-volume, high-stakes federal environment.
