Innovator Spotlight: Sumo Logic

The rapid adoption of cloud and digital services is driving exponential data growth, creating fragmented visibility and operational silos across Dev, Sec, and Ops teams. According to the IDC, the global datasphere is expected to reach 175 zettabytes by 2025, largely fueled by IoT and AI. Meanwhile, 38% of security teams struggle with securing multiple elements of the software supply chain. These challenges hinder organizations’ ability to detect and respond to threats efficiently.

DanK Anderson, a seasoned CISO and vCISO, underscores the critical role of Sumo Logic in addressing these challenges:

“In today’s hyper connected environment, organizations are overwhelmed with data and siloed tools. What Sumo Logic provides isn’t just a solution—it’s a unified platform that simplifies complexity, allowing Dev, Sec, and Ops teams to collaborate effectively, extract actionable insights, and proactively secure modern cloud environments.”

Sumo Logic’s AI-powered, cloud-native platform delivers real-time insights, enhanced security, and operational resilience by unifying logs and enabling seamless collaboration across teams.

Sumo Logic specializes in log analytics and delivers a unified, AI-powered platform that bridges the gap between Dev, Sec, and Ops teams. By centralizing enterprise data, Sumo Logic provides a single source of truth, enabling faster threat detection, improved operational efficiency, and enhanced collaboration. The platform processes over 3 exabytes of data daily, empowering organizations to uncover critical insights and streamline their cloud operations.

With innovative solutions such as Cloud SIEM, Cloud SOAR, and Cloud Infrastructure Security, Sumo Logic ensures end-to-end security for modern applications. These tools leverage AI to deliver real-time threat intelligence, automate responses, and provide actionable insights, making them indispensable for tackling today’s complex cybersecurity landscape. Additionally, Sumo Logic’s recently launched $0 data ingest Flex Licensing model eliminates financial barriers, allowing organizations to analyze all their data without compromise.

Sumo Logic also fosters compliance readiness by supporting key frameworks such as HIPAA, NIST, and ISO 27001. Through continuous compliance monitoring and advanced analytics, organizations can confidently meet regulatory requirements while protecting sensitive data.

Additionally, the value proposition of Sumo Logic lies in its ability to help organizations make data-driven decisions faster and more effectively. The platform’s custom dashboards, real-time alerts, and advanced analytics empower IT and security teams to focus on what matters most, reducing manual processes and improving overall efficiency. By simplifying data management and delivering continuous intelligence, Sumo Logic ensures that teams can stay ahead of both operational challenges and security threats, enhancing productivity and security simultaneously.

“Many organizations are still working to adopt a ‘shift-left’ strategy to evolve to a true DevSecOps approach that breaks silos and enables teams to solve the hardest operational and security challenges faster. This is only possible when teams across development, security and operations are looking at the same data and insights, which means aligning on the atomic level of data – logs,” said Joe Kim, CEO of Sumo Logic.

“Sumo Logic’s platform has revolutionized the way our teams collaborate and secure our cloud environments. Its AI-driven insights and real-time threat detection have significantly improved our incident response times and reduced operational overhead,” said Rohan Kulkarni, Site Reliability Engineering Lead, Trust Bank Singapore.

Maulik Shah, VP of Cloud Engineering for Tala: “To incorporate DevSecOps practices, you need more than a tool and more alerts. You need a cultural shift. Sumo Logic’s SaaS Log Analytics Platform has taken the complexity out of DevSecOps, so our teams are aligned, working from the same data, and keeping security best practices top of mind. With Sumo Logic’s AI-driven Alerting feature, we are now able to leverage machine learning and automation to reduce false positives, focus on issues that are truly anomalies, and quickly align on how to prioritize which issues to address first.”

Rohan Kulkarni, Site Reliability Engineering Lead, Trust Bank Singapore: “As one of the world’s fastest-growing digital banks, we use the latest cloud-native technology to deliver a world-class experience to our customers,” said Rohan Kulkarni, Site Reliability Engineering Lead, Trust Bank Singapore. “This means aligning our Sec, Dev and Ops teams and processes for full visibility across our entire tech stack. The speed and scale of Sumo Logic’s SaaS Log Analytics Platform and AI-driven Alerting have allowed us to collaborate better and gain real-time business intelligence to maximize security while optimizing our customer journey.”
