One of the world's largest data and credit bureaus was battling soaring cloud storage costs and log alert fatigue on a complex, third-party SIEM spanning 18 regions. Softility re-architected the security logging ecosystem integrating a cloud-native security data lake, defining enterprise-wide logging standards, and separating noise from critical events, thereby cutting ingest volume by 40% and saving $3.4M annually.
Challenge
-
Rising cloud costs from workload-based pricing applied to both relevant and non-critical logs.
-
Uncontrolled data ingestion with no standard logging practices, driving up redundant, low-value log volume.
-
Low-quality, noisy alerts wasted SOC staff time, with no unified standards separating operational, application, compliance, and security use cases.
Solution
Softility launched a cross-functional program to re-architect the security logging posture with a risk-aware, cost-efficient logging strategy. We redefined enterprise-wide logging standards across 10,000+ hybrid hosts, built a unified architecture combining a third-party SIEM for high-value threat detection, an open-source platform for cost-effective long-term storage, and a cloud-native security data lake for compliance and historical analysis.
Benefits:
-
$3.4M in projected annual savings, with daily ingest volume cut from 17TB to 10TB in just two months.
-
3x improvement in signal-to-noise ratio and 2x faster alert triage, sharpening SOC responsiveness.
-
A future-ready, vendor-neutral architecture that integrates easily with emerging detection and SOAR tools.
