Case Study: Netgear achieves faster incident response and centralized security data with Snowflake

Netgear Replaces On-Prem SIEM With Snowflake and XDR Platform To Accelerate Cloud Strategy

Netgear, a San Jose–based networking company, faced limits with its on‑premises SIEM as it moved to a cloud‑first model. The old stack couldn’t ingest or retain large cloud log sets, produced noisy alerts and false positives that forced manual investigations, and constrained forensic retention—so the security team needed a scalable, easy‑to‑manage solution to shift from reactive tooling to proactive detection and response.

Netgear adopted Snowflake as a centralized security data lake and paired it with an XDR platform for out‑of‑the‑box detection, workflows, and UI. This eliminated data silos, enabled near‑unlimited ingestion and longer retention, improved correlation and investigation context, reduced noisy alerts and manual work, and sped up incident response while enabling historical threat hunting and clearer forensic analysis.
