Case Study: Internet Identity achieves 24/7 cyber threat mitigation and 85% cost reduction with DataStax Enterprise

IID Relies on DataStax for Around-The-Clock Cyber Threat Mitigation

Internet Identity (IID) is a cybersecurity company that aggregates and exchanges threat intelligence for Fortune 500 firms and government agencies. Confronted with rapidly growing, multi-structured datasets (from ~0.1 PB toward >0.5 PB) and strict security/compliance demands, their MySQL-based relational systems could no longer scale or provide the fast search and analytics needed to detect and mitigate threats.

IID chose DataStax Enterprise after evaluating NoSQL options; the Cassandra-based platform’s integrated search, analytics and OpsCenter—deployed on AWS—met their scalability, security and operational requirements. The migration delivered 100% availability, multi‑data‑center scaling without downtime, an 85% reduction in operational costs and dramatically lower management overhead, enabling IID to build a petabyte-scale, audit-ready threat database.
