Case Study: Sophos improves malware detection and threat analytics with Datameer

Sophos analyzes 2-3 TB of threat data per month with Datameer

Sophos, a global network security company, faced challenges analyzing the massive volume of data generated daily from new malware threats. Their legacy SQL-based infrastructure could not scale to handle billions of events, making threat correlation a slow and costly process. They required a scalable analytics platform to empower their threat research analysts without requiring them to write code.

Sophos implemented the Datameer analytics platform to address these challenges. The solution provided a scalable infrastructure with an Excel-like interface that allowed analysts to perform point-and-click analysis on billions of rows of data from multiple sources. As a result, Sophos gained better insights and faster malware detection, empowering researchers globally to mine data without coding or a steep learning curve. Datameer became integral to their daily malware detection and analysis.
