Practitioners and developers around the world rely on Sumo Logic to gain real-time analytics and insights from their cloud-native applications, helping them ensure application reliability, secure and protect against modern security threats, and gain insights into their cloud infrastructures. 

In this session, Sumo Logic and partner Legato will address the 4 must ask questions when considering an MDR:

-What’s the difference between MSSP’s & MDR’s?
-What makes up the MDR’s tech stack?
-What visibility do you have on your data?
-Cost effectiveness of an MDR?

geeks+gurus: Are you getting a response out of your MDR provider?

We are thrilled to have you join us for our customer conversation with Brandon Stringfield, Chief Information Security Officer at Steven F. Austin University. During this engaging and informative discussion, Mr. Stringfield will share insights and challenges his organization has encountered with regards to contextualizing data, compliance, and tool consolidation. We encourage you to participate and engage with our esteemed speaker to gain valuable knowledge and enhance your understanding of these critical topics.

geeks+gurus: Contextualizing Data in Higher Education

Today, detection engineers and blue teamers are focused on cloud threat detection. However, are we thinking about these threats holistically?
There are many pathways that threat actors utilize to gain access to cloud resources. Among these are endpoints that contain various cloud credential material.
This cloud credential material - in the form of various files, tokens and cookies is often overlooked, with little visibility and telemetry generated.

Cloud security: Does the endpoint still matter?

Security teams have struggled with getting value from their dozens, or even hundreds, of security tools. In fact, SIEM tools were built with the hopes of pulling together available data to derive context and meaning into the threat landscape at the time. But today, the industry requires a single solution, or platform, to address the myriad of challenges organizations are facing. Join our fireside chat and hear directly from Allie Mellen, Senior Analyst with Forrester Research, and Rhett Dillingham, Vice President of Security Product Management with Sumo Logic, about the future of security operations.

The inevitable (r)evolution of security operations

Democratizing machine data & logs

As part of their application modernization initiative, Ulta undertook a cloud migration to utilize Google’s GKE service. This required new sets of tools and telemetry to be collected in order to successfully manage the performance of their new applications and cloud infrastructure.

Come learn how Ulta Beauty approached this project, and discover:

How stability impacts business performance
Lessons learned during cloud migration
How to use all available telemetry to monitor Kubernetes
Managing costs while increasing volume of telemetry

ULTA Beauty gets a Cloud Makeover

In over a decade of experience in this field, we have noticed that in the incident management and response processes, security analysts spend most of their time in the enrichment phase instead of the decision-making one.

In this session, Enrico Benzoni, Manager - Marketing & Technical Alliances, Automation & Orchestration at Sumo Logic, and Dario Forte, VP and GM Automation & Orchestration at Sumo Logic, will discuss:

The challenges security analysts face in their day-to-day activities

Phases where automation plays a particularly significant role in easing the job for analysts

Automating beyond the cybersecurity use cases.

geeks+gurus: The future of orchestration and automation

MARA, the Modern Applications Reference Architecture is a complete Kubernetes-based application deployment that includes observability as a first-class citizen. 

MARA uses Pulumi as an Infrastructure as Code provider and can provision Kubernetes infrastructure to a cloud provider, or use an existing Kubernetes deployment. 

Join us as we discuss the advantages, challenges, and process of adding OpenTelemetry to MARA in a supportable and extensible way. By standardizing on OpenTelemetry for collection, MARA can support any observability platform that supports OpenTelemetry. 

Key Takeaways: 
Modern applications are more than just an application; supporting components are just as important.
Preferring Protocols over Products provides the most flexibility for vendors and operators.

The Journey to Open Telemetry with Sumo Logic & NGINX

Infor developed a decentralized governance model for managing the vast Sumo landscape. A landscape with thousands of users, tens of thousands of Collectors, petabytes of log ingestion.

By  democratizing log management, we implemented a decentralized governance model for our Sumo account. Consequently,, we succeeded in doubling our log ingestion year-over-year, while reducing our log ingestion cost by more than 50%.
We know exactly how much logs are generated by each of our products, of which there are more than 150, delivered as SaaS offerings. Each product team is provided with details on how much their product’s log behavior contributes to our Sumo bill. As we provide the tools to each team to manage their Sumo resources, each team can weigh the cost of logging against the benefits of having access to those logs through Sumo’s advanced features.

Democratizing Machine Data & Logs How Infor leverages Sumo Logic

In today’s world, customers expect top-notch digital experiences. Apps that are slow, or leak sensitive data, will alienate even the most ardent users.

In this session, Senior Directors of Engineering at Sumo Logic Andrea Fumagalli and Michele Zambelli along with SANS Expert Dave Shackleford explain how to build and optimize the top three SOAR use cases, sharing invaluable tried-and-true technical details for solving your needs.

The fastest security response is not always the right one. However, minimizing response time by prioritizing security incidents, reducing false positives, and quickly investigating alerts is imperative for successful cyber defense. Nonetheless, making the best data-driven decision is a challenge for many organizations and MSSPs today.

SOAR does not replace humans but augments them, reducing analyst fatigue and taking full advantage of automation by orchestrating different tools into standard operating procedures (SOPs).
