In today’s environments, the number of endpoints seems to be endless. Simultaneously, with more advanced bad actors and increasingly complex systems, it is more important than ever that no endpoint goes unmonitored. However, many solutions simply can’t keep up with this growing scale of data collection at the edge.

In today’s interconnected digital landscape, staying on top of market trends is essential for businesses aiming to thrive in the evolving world of observability and security. Recently, Cribl hosted a webinar to shed light on 2024 industry trends, and opportunities and challenges for both end users and vendors.. One of the notable highlights of the webinar is the convergence of observability and security, reflecting the shared data challenges faced by both IT and security teams.

Observability is a broad topic that provides visibility into the key metrics powering customer-facing applications. These applications range from external facing applications ( e.g., Internet banking/online education/e-commerce/government records ) to internal facing applications ( e.g., Trading systems by brokers, Logistics controllers, Traffic Management, and Hotel Reservations). Observability also incorporates backend systems powering industries that ensure smooth operations of tools and processes.

We are thrilled to announce that Cribl has been named to the Rising in Cyber 2024 list by Notable Capital! This independent recognition highlights the most innovative cybersecurity companies as viewed by Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs), venture capital investors, and other industry leaders.

In today’s fast-paced tech landscape, how does a company ensure that its products truly meet the needs of its customers? At Cribl, the answer lies in our unwavering commitment to a customer-centric mindset. This philosophy has driven our success, enabling us to develop groundbreaking solutions like Cribl Lake. The story of Cribl Lake is not just about the product itself but also about the people behind it and our unique approach to building the team that brought this solution to life.

Can there really be too much of a good thing? Oh yeah!

While spring is traditionally the time for tidying up for most folks, IT and Security teams know it is important always to maintain a clean, streamlined environment. However, we understand that doesn’t always happen with growing data volumes, stagnant budgets, and changing organizational priorities. This blog is to help you understand if you are properly overdue for a clean-up.

An oft-forgotten component of robust, production-ready code is testing. The moat protects us from costly service interruptions and fortifies trust in our product with our customers. Simply put, it’s in the critical path of damn good software. However, as we scale a cloud product to serve a rapidly growing user base, our test case scenarios scale correspondingly. As far as testing goes, end-to-end (E2E) testing most closely mirrors the end-user experience.

As a fan of OpenTelemetry, I love to see Cribl meeting customers where they are and helping them get to where they want to be with a vendor-agnostic approach. Where it is not possible or practical to re-instrument a telemetry source, whether an application or infrastructure, the barrier to adopting OpenTelemetry Signals can be daunting.

Cribl offers a suite of tools designed to optimize data pipelines, with different components tailored for managing and orchestrating data flows at scale across different teams and data sources. One of the biggest problems with building and running a multi-team data engine is isolation. This blog will cover how we at Cribl have handled the challenge of data, configuration, and access isolation for growing teams.
