Kobalt.io Case Study on Cloud SIEM Implementation

This case study details the implementation of Sumo Logic's Cloud SIEM by Kobalt.io, a Managed Security Service Provider. The objective was to modernize their security information and event management (SIEM) system and consolidate tools to address challenges such as tool sprawl and alert fatigue. Kobalt.io faced difficulties with two last-generation SIEMs, which resulted in high maintenance costs and overwhelmed analysts. After evaluating several solutions, Kobalt.io selected Sumo Logic for its ease of use, international data residency capabilities, extensive integrations, and transparent pricing. The implementation led to a significant reduction in monthly alerts from 6,000 to 600, improved customer onboarding times from days to minutes, and a payback period of four months with profitability achieved within six months. The case study illustrates how Sumo Logic enabled Kobalt.io to double its customer base without increasing its security analyst headcount, demonstrating the effectiveness of the Cloud SIEM solution in enhancing operational efficiency.
