Cribl, Elastic to Drive Greater Data Flexibility

Cribl, a data engine for IT and security, announced a strategic partnership with Elastic, the company behind Elasticsearch, to provide customers with greater data flexibility, delivering enhanced data visibility, improved Security information and event management (SIEM) capabilities, and simplified migrations to Elastic Cloud.

The partnership brings a deeper integration between the Cribl suite of products and Elastic Security and Observability, enabling customers to manage and operationalize their data more efficiently.

Additional Cribl Packs will be available to provide customers with out-of-the-box content that maps common log types to Elastic Common Schema (ECS), and in-product tiles will be available alongside other pre-built integrations.

“Cribl gives us the flexibility and control we need to affordably manage and analyze our IT and security data in the face of rapid data growth,” said Brian Emmons, senior manager of IT Operations at Acxiom. “Cribl has allowed us to optimize and update our syslog infrastructure to easily collaborate with Elastic to boost our security posture, our engineers’ productivity, future-proof our data architecture, and adapt with the changing needs of our business.”

  • Improved SIEM capabilities to enhance and accelerate incident response with streamlined data processing tools.
  • Simplified migrations for cloud deployments, on-premises to cloud migrations, and SIEM migrations.
  • Additional customer benefits include enhancing Elastic’s search analytics capabilities with optimized data input, ensuring data meets regulatory standards throughout its lifecycle, and lowering operational costs through more efficient data processing.

“Getting the right data into the right tools, and doing that efficiently, is at the core of what we do for our customers. This new partnership with Elastic brings stronger interoperability between our product suites and enables customers to do more with their data,” said Zac Kilpatrick, VP of Global Channels & Alliances at Cribl. “Cribl enhances on-prem and cloud migration process to Elastic Security and Observability. By helping customers transition from existing onboarding systems, we improve the management and control of enterprise logging and security pipelines. There’s massive value here for our customers, and we’re excited to work together to help customers realize the full power of their data.”

In partnership with Cribl, Elastic enhances the OpenTelemetry (OTel) data integration process. This joint solution streamlines the transfer of OTel data into Elastic and builds on Elastic’s contribution of ECS to the OTel project earlier this year, which enables a unified specification for security and observability data within the OTel Semantic Conventions framework. The collaboration between Elastic and Cribl marks a significant advancement in the efficient and coherent management of security and observability data.
