Case Study: Events DC cuts SIEM costs and streamlines log management with Cribl Stream

Events DC cuts SIEM ingestion 30–35% with Cribl

Events DC, a major convention and sports venue operator, faced a costly and fragmented log management system that struggled with visibility and high expenses following a ransomware incident. To modernize their security operations, they partnered with their managed service provider and the vendor Cribl to implement Cribl Stream as a central data pipeline.

Using Cribl Stream, Events DC filtered and optimized data before it reached their SIEM, reducing ingestion volume by 30-35% and significantly lowering licensing costs. The solution streamlined onboarding new log sources from weeks to just hours and provided complete visibility into data flow. Cribl also enabled a seamless migration to a new SIEM with zero downtime and added cost-effective archive and replay capabilities for compliance.
