Case Study: Cockroach Labs ingests 5x more logs and cuts SecOps costs with Panther Labs

Cockroach Labs ingests 5x more logs and cuts $200K+ in costs with Panther Labs

Cockroach Labs, the company behind CockroachDB, faced significant security operations challenges due to its legacy SIEM tooling. The inflexible system created friction with slow, manual workflows, limited log ingestion, and an inability to effectively customize or scale its detections, all while incurring high costs. To modernize its approach, the company selected Panther to power its security operations.

By implementing Panther’s security data lake architecture, Cockroach Labs rearchitected its logging pipelines. The solution provided an intuitive interface for searches and robust detection-as-code capabilities using Python. With Panther, the company ingested five times more log data, cut over $200,000 in tooling costs, and reduced its audit preparation time by more than 85%, saving a week of engineering effort per audit.
