Case Study: Binary Confidence achieves faster, more scalable cybersecurity analytics with Microsoft Corporation SQL Server 2017

Binary Confidence - Customer Case Study

Binary Confidence, a small professional services company in Slovakia, provides remote security monitoring, threat analysis, and incident response through its Cyber Defense Centre. As data volumes grew rapidly, its MariaDB database became too slow for analytical queries and log processing, making it harder to analyze threats quickly. Binary Confidence turned to Microsoft Corporation and Microsoft SQL Server 2017 to address the performance and scalability challenge.

Microsoft Corporation implemented SQL Server 2017, migrating Binary Confidence’s data platform to run seamlessly on Linux while integrating with its open source environment and existing tools. The result was up to 3x faster query performance overall, with some queries running 2 to 500 times faster, faster log collection, simpler management, and an estimated 50% reduction in storage costs.
