Cribl Stream allows you to implement an observability pipeline which helps you parse, restructure, and enrich data in flight - before you pay to analyze it. Get the right data, where you want, in the formats you need. Route data to the best tool for the job - or all the tools for the job - by translating and formatting data into any tooling schema you require. Let different departments choose different analytics environments without having to deploy new agents or forwarders. As much as 50% of log and metric data goes unused – null fields, duplicate data, and fields that offer zero analytical value. With Cribl Stream, you can trim wasted data streams and analyze only what you need. Cribl Stream is the best way to get multiple data formats into the tools you trust for your Security and IT efforts. Use the Cribl Stream universal receiver to collect from any machine data source - and even to schedule batch collection from REST APIs, Kinesis Firehose, Raw HTTP, and Microsoft Office 365 APIs

While enterprise data is exploding and scattered across various systems, oversight of driving privacy, data security, and governance has become very challenging. As a result, businesses hold significant risks in the form of data breaches, privacy lawsuits, and penalties. Finding data privacy risks in an enterprise is a complex, and time-consuming effort that takes months involving a team of data engineers. Data breaches and privacy laws are requiring companies to have a better grip on which users have access to the data, and how the data is used. But enterprise data is complex, so even if a team of engineers works for months, they will have a tough time isolating data privacy risks or quickly finding ways to reduce them.

IRI FieldShield® is powerful and affordable data discovery and masking software for PII in structured and semi-structured sources, big and small. Use FieldShield utilities in Eclipse to profile, search and mask data at rest (static data masking), and the FieldShield SDK to mask (or unmask) data in motion (dynamic data masking). Classify PII centrally, find it globally, and mask it consistently. Preserve realism and referential integrity via encryption, pseudonymization, redaction, and other rules for production and test environments. Delete, deliver, or anonymize data subject to DPA, FERPA, GDPR, GLBA, HIPAA, PCI, POPI, SOX, etc. Verify compliance via human- and machine-readable search reports, job audit logs, and re-identification risk scores. Optionally mask data as you map it. Apply FieldShield functions in IRI Voracity ETL, federation, migration, replication, subsetting, or analytic jobs. Or, run FieldShield from Actifio, Commvault or Windocks to mask DB clones.

The actionable cloud security platform. Reduce risk by rapidly exposing and closing priority security gaps caused by misconfigurations, risky entitlements and vulnerabilities–in one powerful cloud native application protection platform (CNAPP). CNAPP solutions replace a patchwork of siloed products that often cause more problems than they solve, such as multiple false positives and excessive alerts. Those products usually provide only partial coverage and often create overhead and friction with the products they’re supposed to work with. Most importantly, CNAPPs allow businesses to monitor the health of cloud native applications as a whole rather than individually monitoring cloud infrastructure and application security.
