Cribl Unlocked: Executive Insights on Expanding Ingest & Impact



Cribl has transformed how organizations manage security data — routing only what matters, reducing SIEM spend, and improving visibility. 

But that’s just the beginning. 

The real opportunity lies in expanding Cribl across your entire data estate: observability, telemetry, compliance, and long-term retention. With Cribl Stream, Edge, Lake, and Search — and NETbuilder’s certified engineering teams, you can control ingest at scale, reduce tooling costs, and build a future-proof architecture. 

 

The Observability Challenge 
  • Every app, service, and cloud workload generates telemetry. 
  • Most of it is unfiltered, unshaped, and over-ingested into expensive platforms. 
  • Licensing, storage, and compute costs continue to climb. 

Most organizations aren’t lacking data they’re lacking ingest control. And it’s costing them. 

 

The Cribl Advantage 

Cribl gives you complete control over your data pipeline: 

  • Stream: Shape and route data at ingest 
  • Edge: Collect telemetry closer to the source 
  • Lake: Store everything affordably in S3 or object storage 
  • Search: Query archived data on-demand without rehydrating or indexing 

This unlocks a more flexible, cost-efficient model for security and observability. 

 

The People Gap (And How to Solve It) 

Cribl’s platform is powerful but realizing its full value takes people who know how to deploy it. 

That’s where NETbuilder comes in.

  • Certified engineers embedded directly into your teams 
  • Expertise in observability, security, and ingest architecture 
  • The Cribl Academy: building permanent capability inside your organization
