Setting Up a Data Loop using Cribl Search and Stream Part 1: Setting up the Data Lake Destination

In the very first video of the series, we delve into the concept of a data loop and why it is beneficial to use Cribl Search and Cribl Stream to optimize the use of a data lake. The video gives a concise overview of Cribl Search and Cribl Stream, and how they work in tandem to create a data loop. We then provide step-by-step instructions on how to configure the Cribl Stream "Amazon S3 Data Lake" Destination to transfer data from Stream to an S3 bucket that has been optimized specifically for Cribl Search's access. Finally, we demonstrate sending sample data to the S3 bucket and present a before-and-after view of the bucket to showcase the impact of the test data.

Setting Up a Data Loop using Cribl Search and Stream Part 2: Configuring Cribl Search

In the second video of our series, we delve into the nuts and bolts of configuring Cribl Search to access the data that we've stored in the S3 bucket. The video guides you step-by-step through the process of configuring the Search S3 dataset provider by using the Stream Data Lake destination as a model for the authentication information. From there, we proceed to walk through the process of creating a Dataset to access the Provider that we've just established. To wrap things up, we demonstrate how to search through the test data that we've previously stored in the S3 bucket.

Modernize Your SIEM Architecture

Join Ed Bailey from Cribl and John Alves from CyberOne Security as they discuss the struggles faced by many SIEM teams in managing their systems to control costs and extract optimal value from the platform. The prevalence of bad data or an overwhelming amount of data leads to various issues with detections and drives costs higher and higher. It is extremely common to witness a year-over-year cost increase of up to 35%, which is clearly unsustainable.
