Case Study: Leading Global Airline Company achieves rapid PCI DSS readiness and accelerates cloud migration with Sumo Logic Cloud SIEM

A leading global airline arrives ahead of schedule at cloud computing PCI DSS compliance, thanks to Sumo Logic’s Cloud SIEM solution

A leading global U.S.-based airline with about 93,000 employees and Level 1 PCI merchant status aimed to migrate hundreds of applications to the cloud but needed its cloud platforms to meet strict PCI DSS requirements first. Initial efforts using AWS tools and an ELK stack produced frequent false positives and incomplete visibility, jeopardizing the company’s cloud-first digital transformation.

The airline standardized on Sumo Logic’s cloud-native Cloud SIEM after a four-month proof-of-value and moved to production, achieving PCI readiness ahead of schedule. Centralized machine-data ingestion reduced false positives, enabled 30+ security and operations users, unlocked new use cases like automated workflows and correlation, and established a single-pane-of-glass foundation to accelerate further cloud migrations and DevSecOps practices.
