Case Study: US Federal Agencies accelerate cyber investigations with Cribl Stream

US Federal Agencies accelerate cyber investigations with Cribl Stream and 1TB/day processing

The customer, a US federal law enforcement agency, faced the challenge of quickly analyzing enormous volumes of data from cyberattacks to identify threats. Much of this data was irrelevant, which slowed down investigations and placed a performance burden on their analytical tools like Splunk and Elastic. They turned to the vendor Cribl and implemented its product, Cribl Stream, to gain control over this data ingestion and routing process.

Using Cribl Stream, the agency was able to filter, enrich, and route data to the most appropriate analytical tool, significantly accelerating investigations. The solution replaced manual processes by automatically enriching data with geolocation tags and fixing timestamp issues at ingest time, which saved valuable analyst time and processing resources. This provided investigators with better, more relevant data faster and created a huge positive ripple effect across their entire user base.
