Case Study: Reddit streamlines security data management with Cribl Stream

Reddit completes SIEM migration in 6 months with Cribl

Reddit, one of the world's most popular online community platforms, faced unsustainable operational overhead from maintaining its ELK-based security data infrastructure. To address this challenge, the company turned to vendor Cribl and implemented its product, Cribl Stream, to streamline data management and facilitate a migration.

Using Cribl Stream as a central data pipeline, Reddit seamlessly migrated its data to Splunk Cloud and then to a homegrown SIEM without disrupting operations. The solution enabled real-time threat detection by streaming data to Kafka and integrated with BigQuery for advanced analytics. Cribl significantly reduced maintenance overhead, eliminating the need for a full-time employee to manage the ELK stack and allowing the company to complete its final migration in just six months.
