Wreak Order in the Midst of Chaos: Future Proofing Your IT + Security Data Strategy

AI, Data Growth, Compliance: How can you scale to advise and grow your organization
Clint Sharp, CEO and Founder, Cribl
Ledion Bitincka, Co-Founder and CTO, Cribl
Dritan Bitincka, Co-Founder and Head of C021, Cribl
Abby Strong, CMO, Cribl

Data growth, data formats, emerging tools and AI wreaking havoc in your organization? At Cribl, we’re here to help you wreak order. We’ll walk you through how building a Data Engine for IT and Security, powered by Cribl will help you clean up data disasters, conquer compliance, power your people and prepare your organization for automation and AI.

Curating high-quality data, bringing in unstructured data under management and establishing data literacy need to come first. These efforts can often be justified within innovation budgets while driving immediate impact through visibility, knowledge-sharing and better decision-making.

Breakout Sessions

Category: Best practices / tips and tricks
Speakers:
  • Chris Affleck, Senior Cyber Security Engineer, Epiq Global
  • Dan Wilson, Cyber Security Engineer, Epiq Global
  • Sidd Shah, Staff Solution Engineer, Cribl
Abstract:
​​In this session, we’re going to dig into how Epiq transitioned our security infrastructure from on-premise to cloud with the help of Cribl. We’ll talk about the challenges we faced in learning how to parse and shape Microsoft Sentinel data, and the victories we achieved by simplifying our infrastructure for cost savings and to streamline our data processes. We’ll share some valuable lessons we learned along the way helping others navigate similar digital transformations successfully.
What you’ll learn:
  • Best practices for Syslog
  • How to best leverage prebuilt packs
  • How available resources accelerate adoption
Category: Best practices / tips and tricks
Speakers:
  • Chanda Pulliam, ​​Senior Information Security Engineer, Synopsys
Abstract:
In this session, we’ll explore the transition from traditional syslog and Logstash setups to the dynamic capabilities of Cribl. We’ll share our firsthand experiences, from scalability issues to performance challenges, how we navigated these obstacles, to effectively transition to Cribl and Elastic.

We’ll cover how we identified the size of events in Elasticsearch and the pivotal role it played in measuring total storage usage and savings post-Cribl implementation. We’ll delve into the intricacies of this methodology, showcasing how it enabled us to gain granular insights into our log data, optimize storage utilization, and realize significant cost savings.
What you’ll learn:
  • Identifying Bottlenecks: Learn about the bottlenecks encountered during the transition from syslog and Logstash to Cribl and how we addressed them
  • Measuring Storage Usage and Savings: Learn about the method we used to identify event sizes in Elasticsearch and how we estimated total storage usage and quantify the savings post-Cribl migration.
  • Real-world Implementation Insights: Learn from our mistakes–including best practices, lessons learned, and practical tips for maximizing the benefits of transitioning to Cribl.
Category: Cribl.Cloud / Cloud Migration
Speakers:
  • Jon Rust, Staff Solutions Engineer, Cribl
  • Aaron Wilson, SRE Manager, iHerb
Abstract:
In the quest to turn our outdated and disorderly SIEM into a modern, streamlined and manageable solution, we turned to Cribl. Together we develop a centrally managed environment that empowered our teams to manage multiple data sources and destinations with improved time-to-value, reducing data flow steps, and increasing sustainability. Join this session to learn how we used Cribl to modernize and streamline our SIEM operations into a single point of management solution.

Category: Architecting with Purpose
Speakers:
  • Terry Mulligan, Discovered Intelligence
  • Anoop Ramachandran, Discovered Intelligence Inc.
Abstract:
Do you have both Cribl on-prem and Cribl. Cloud? Or are you thinking about extending your on-prem environment into Cribl. Cloud? If so, you have probably wondered about operating Cribl in a hybrid model. We recently migrated a large pharmaceutical customer to a hybrid model, and the good news is it wasn’t that difficult! In this session, we will share the benefits, concerns, challenges, lessons learned, and the best practices we adopted in moving to a hybrid model. Plus how this helps us to take advantage of emerging Cribl products like Edge, Search and Lake to find answers faster.
Category: O11y
Speakers:
  • Jacob Gorney, Cribl
  • Josh Biggley, Cribl
Abstract:
Learn how Cribl uses its own purpose-built data engine for IT and Security capable of discovering and collecting data from any source, processing billions of events per second, automatically routing data to optimized storage, and analyzing any data, at any time, in any location to drive the Cribl.Cloud team’s observability practice, make quick decisions, and continuously improve Cribl Stream, Edge, and Search from the inside.

Category: Best practices / tips and tricks
Speakers:
  • John Lim, Lead Systems Engineer, Cox Automotive
Abstract:
Grease the wheels of adoption and step on that pipelining gas pedal! Integrating Cribl Stream into your existing data engine can be a challenge for large organizations with well-established processes. Learn how Cox Automotive is methodically incorporating Stream through the extensive use of packs and data forks, and how stakeholders can realize the value of Cribl Stream with minimal impact to their day to day operations. Furthermore, learn how Cox Automotive is using data tiering and replay to ensure high availability and accelerated resolution times.
Category: Best practices / tips and tricks
Speakers:
  • BhoopeshKumar Jayasekaran, AutoDesk
Abstract:
This proposal aims to investigate 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.
Category: Hands-On Lab
Speakers:
  • Andre “Dre” Tucker, Cribl
Abstract:
In an era where security incidents are as inevitable as the ticking clock, we embrace the wisdom of Henry Ford: “The only real mistake is the one from which we learn nothing.” Imagine a world where every security incident becomes a stepping stone to greater resilience. With the powerhouse trio of Cribl Search, Cribl Stream, & Cribl Lake as our “DeLorean”, we’ll harness the lessons of the past & transform them into an arsenal for the future. With this innovative approach, you’ll learn an automated way to turn your old incidents into dynamic, interactive training modules that empower your SOC to navigate incident triage with the agility Marty McFly on a hoverboard, test SIEM correlations with the precision of Doc Brown, and bring your security tooling skills from Biff to buff.

Category: Hands-On Lab
Speakers:
  • Roman Trusov, Cribl
Abstract:
Ever feel like untangling log data takes forever? Us too. That’s why we built Cribl Search – a supercharged federated search engine for IT and security data. Join this hands-on lab and see Cribl Search in action! We’ll throw a massive 1TB dataset (think common log format) at you and show you how Cribl Search cuts through the noise to get you the answers you need – fast. In this session, you’ll:
  • Play with a real dataset: We’ll configure a giant dataset live, showing you how Cribl Search tackles data with ease.
  • Be an Incident Response Pro: We’ll simulate a real-world IT issue and show you how Cribl Search helps you solve it in record time. Learn search tricks to become a data investigation ninja!
  • See the Time-Saving Magic: We’ll reveal how Cribl Search helped us resolve an incident in just 30 minutes, with minimal resources. Imagine the possibilities for your team!
