Case Study: The Energy Authority achieves rapid threat detection and automated response with Sumo Logic

Why The Energy Authority chose Sumo Logic for Cloud SIEM

The Energy Authority (TEA) is a 200+ employee organization that provides portfolio and trading services to public power utilities across seven U.S. energy markets and runs 24/7 operations with a small IT staff. TEA needed a cloud-first SIEM that would give broad visibility, strong threat intelligence, predictable costs and automation to reduce analyst workload; during vendor evaluations they found many options either costly, opaque, limited in automation, or reliant on low-quality threat feeds.

Sumo Logic delivered a simplified, fast Cloud SIEM with single sign-on, one-click access to insights and a few clicks to raw logs, integrated threat intelligence (powered by CrowdStrike), and support for fully automated scripted responses. The result was much faster investigations (seconds vs. minutes), predictable storage-based pricing, reduced alert fatigue and analyst effort, and growing adoption of the platform across DevOps and database monitoring use cases.
