Case Study: a global retailer reduces SIEM costs by 87% with Snare Solutions

How Reducing Log Noise By 87% Saved A Major Retail Brand Millions in Cyber Costs

The global retailer, a leader in multiple fast-casual dining categories, faced escalating SIEM costs that reached millions of dollars annually due to the massive volume of log data from its hundreds of thousands of daily POS transactions. To maintain compliance and security without compromising its existing infrastructure, the company sought a solution to reduce costs. Their challenge was to find a log management tool that could decrease SIEM ingestion and storage expenses without requiring additional hardware or displacing current technology.

Snare Solutions implemented its Snare Enterprise Agents and Snare Central server to complement the retailer's existing SIEM. The solution utilized Snare's filtering, truncation, and market-leading 50:1 compression to dramatically reduce log data. This resulted in an 87% reduction in overall log traffic, saving millions in cyber costs and eliminating the need for additional hardware and personnel. Snare paid for itself within weeks while also improving threat detection, forensic capabilities, and centralized management.
