In a recent user group meeting, guest speaker Marc Luescher from Amazon Web Services (AWS) joined us to give an overview of Amazon Security Lake. We talked about Cribl use cases and how Cribl Stream can bring your non-AWS data into the Security Lake. Enterprises are dealing with some significant challenges with security data in 2023.
