Reduce Risk with Cribl and Choose the right SIEM - CriblCon 2024 Replay Series

Your SIEM holds critical data, but storing all telemetry can be costly — especially as cloud-native, microservices, and AI systems generate massive data volumes. So how do you maintain 24/7 visibility and rapid threat response without breaking the budget? 

Traditional data tiering ties "hot, warm, cold" to data age, assuming you can predict which logs will matter, often driving up costs. In reality, data’s value only spikes when a question is asked: during an investigation, audit, or incident. By tiering data based on access frequency, a measurable signal, you can cut costs while keeping critical data accessible. 

In this session, AWS and Cribl take a deep dive into modern data tiering strategies that help you to:
-Keep frequently accessed, actionable data in your SIEM for real-time detection and response.
-Seamlessly route archival data to cost-effective storage like Amazon S3, without losing access or compliance. 
-Collect, route, and transform data to the right formats such as OCSF before it reaches downstream analytics tools (i.e. SIEM, Amazon Security Lake).
-Search data in place: data lakes, object stores, API endpoints, host systems, and more for faster, more flexible investigations.

It’s time to simplify, streamline, and take control of your storage sites, query tools, and telemetry data. Watch on-demand to unlock practical strategies for smarter, faster data management.

From Cold to Gold: Unlocking the Power of Tiered Data Storage with AWS and Cribl

Telemetry data as a key asset is growing, protecting, and optimizing today's enterprise. Managing and controlling that data remains out of reach for most IT and Security professionals. But with the right data pipeline strategy, you can optimize telemetry to reduce costs, enhance visibility, and maintain full control over your data – that’s where Cribl comes in.

Cribl’s Nick Heudecker and Cory Wallace walk through how Cribl Stream and the broader Cribl product suite empower IT and security teams to take control of their observability pipelines with streamlined workflows, increased flexibility, and maximized efficiency.

In this session, you’ll learn how to:
Efficiently ingest, shape, enrich, and route telemetry data from diverse sources with Cribl Stream
Manage large volumes of telemetry without sacrificing control or budget
Optimize data by removing noise, reformatting for usability, and masking sensitive information
Route data intelligently to the right destinations, from SIEM to long-term storage
Use AI-powered features to improve data quality and insights

Whether you’re new to observability pipelines or looking to optimize, you’ll leave this session ready to turn your data challenges into opportunities with Cribl.

Effortless telemetry is not magic. It’s Cribl: Automate pipelines and scale

This CriblCon 24 session investigates the correlation between traces in OpenTelemetry (Otel) and logs in Splunk, two widely used tools in the field of observability and log management. The objective of this research is to explore how the integration of trace data from Otel and log data from Splunk can provide a comprehensive understanding of application performance and behavior. By analyzing the relationship between these two data sources, we aim to identify patterns, uncover hidden dependencies, and gain insights into system bottlenecks and potential issues. Through this correlation, we hope to enhance troubleshooting capabilities, optimize system performance, and improve overall observability of distributed applications. The findings of this study will contribute to the development of effective monitoring and analysis techniques, enabling organizations to proactively address performance challenges and deliver more reliable and efficient software systems.

Observability and Security in Focus: Strengthening Your Digital Defenses

When you create, collect, and store data, there comes a time when you need to find specific information. Think about it – when you're at your computer and need to locate a particular file, a tool like Grep is handy. So, why invest time and resources in collecting, centralizing, and indexing data just for a simple search?

But here's the twist – sometimes, collecting and indexing data is precisely what you need. While many effective data search tools exist, the fact that there are many tools doesn't mean there's no room for improvement.

Think of your toolbox at home – you probably have some excellent tools, but how often do you add a new one that offers something different? It typically doesn't replace anything; it just adds an extra capability. In this module, we'll explore your options for searching your data, helping you make the most of your data management toolbox.
