Case Study: the SCinet Network Security team stops attacks and hunts threats faster with Gravwell

The SCinet Network Security - Customer Case Study

The SCinet Network Security team was responsible for protecting the temporary, high-performance SCinet network at the SC18 conference. Their immense challenge was providing cybersecurity for a network built with $52 million in contributed hardware and an external capacity of 4.02 terabits per second, requiring them to protect the network from the internet and the internet from the network. This involved monitoring for threats from a wide variety of data sources against a backdrop of massive, legitimate traffic.

Gravwell provided its analytics platform to ingest and process over 1TB of data, comprising 4.6 billion entries. Their solution automated tedious analysis, freeing the team to focus on critical threats. This proved vital when Gravwell enabled the team to quickly detect, investigate, and stop a live attack, doing so in minutes instead of the industry-average 206 days. Throughout the event, Gravwell processed thousands of automated and manual searches, demonstrating its ability to handle extreme scale and deliver actionable insights.
