Cribl employees are renowned for their insatiable curiosity, especially when it comes to their passions. Having been a technical writer for most of my adult life, this goat is deeply passionate about two things: writing engaging content and understanding the mindset of our users. As one of our founders always says, “Software is a people business.” To make my users successful, I need to know how they think. But what if the “user” is a machine? This goat is intrigued.

Today’s IT and security environments have gone from “big” to “massive” in just a decade or two—endpoints have practically exploded (think hundreds of thousands of servers, not just a hundred). Add in a dizzying array of data types and vendors, and what do you get? A whole lot of chaos. So why, oh why, does agent management still feel like it’s stuck in the early 2000s?

Imagine you’re the protector of a castle. Your walls are tall, the gates are strong, and the guards are well-trained. But what if an intruder was still able to slip past your defenses? Even with the best security tools, not every threat will be caught. Threat hunting is the proactive approach to finding attackers that might have bypassed your defenses.

Cribl’s recent $319M Series E round marks a significant milestone in our journey to becoming a generational company. While this growth opens the door to new opportunities for our company, it also presents a challenge: how do we ensure our amazing culture scales alongside the business? At Cribl, we believe in Culture on Purpose—an intentional, values-led approach to evolving our culture as we grow.

Our new Cribl Search Packs give you a framework for packaging, sharing, and installing config bundles that align with a given data source or use case. Similar in concept to our original Cribl Stream Packs framework, Cribl Search Packs help users find value in their datasets more quickly across common use cases. In fact, Stream Pack users were a powerful driver in the development of Search Packs.

As organizations continue to become more reliant on distributed and hybrid workforces, the need for comprehensive data collection across every endpoint—servers, applications, desktops, and laptops—has never been more critical. But let’s be real: agents can be a total headache. That’s where Cribl Edge comes in, now with support for desktops and laptops (in preview)!

Organizations generate, collect, and store vast amounts of telemetry data. With this data comes the growing responsibility to ensure compliance with various regulations, from GDPR to HIPPA. Data compliance ensures data is handled, stored, and processed according to laws and standards protecting personal information. But what makes compliance regulations scary is that it’s ever-changing and rules vary across industries, making it complex to manage.

Cribl has been experiencing rapid growth over the past six years as customers increasingly seek tools to modernize their data strategies. We introduced a new product, Cribl Lake, to help customers address even more diverse data management challenges. With customer data growing at a 28% CAGR, organizations are looking for solutions that can help them manage and optimize their data infrastructure.

Data growth is growing at an extraordinary pace, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28% projected over the next few years. For organizations dealing with logs, metrics, and traces, this massive data expansion brings both opportunities and challenges. As data volumes soar, having flexibility in where you store and analyze it—whether in a SIEM, object storage, or other platforms—has become essential.

Cribl is The Data Engine for Security and IT data, and integrations fuel our mission. Since day one, Cribl has been delivering new Stream integrations to meet customers where they are in their data management journey. No matter where customer data resides or needs to go, we want to be there for every customer. It’s your data, and Cribl was created to help you unlock it.
