Protect Sensitive Data in the Cloud with Cribl Guard

Blogs, Cribl

Cribl Guard, a feature of Cribl Stream available on Cloud based environments, can be included in a pipeline or set before a specified destination to scans every event to detect sensitive information such as credit card details, passport data, and more. By masking, redacting or removing potentially sensitive data, Cribl Guard reduces the risk of exposure to downstream tools.

Here’s how Cribl Guard keeps your cloud data safe:

  • Real-time monitoring: Continuously scans data to ensure nothing sensitive slips through.
  • Secure routing: Route sensitive data out to dedicated, secure locations before they have a chance to get lost in the logstream.
  • Over 200 out-of-the-box rulesets: Quickly apply prebuilt rules to mask or redact data, minimising setup time.
  • AI-powered detection: Contextually identify sensitive information with machine learning that adapts as your data evolves.
  • Simplified compliance: Supports regulations such as CCPA, HIPAA and GDPR, making adherence easier.
  • Human-in-the-loop control: Maintain visibility and approve or override Guard’s decisions in real time.

With Cribl Guard, protecting sensitive information becomes an automated, intelligent, and flexible part of your data workflow – giving your teams peace of mind while maintaining control.

Take Control of Your Spend with Cribl FinOps Center

Managing costs and tracking usage can be tricky—especially when you’re running multiple products and processes across your data ecosystem. That’s why Cribl FinOps Center, included with Cribl Cloud, was built to give admins full visibility and control over Cribl credit usage and resource consumption. Think of it as your single source of truth for billing and usage. 

Here’s how FinOps Center helps you stay on top of your spend and track resource usage:

  • Clear visibility into credit usage: See exactly how your Cribl credits are being consumed, broken down by product – whether it’s Stream, Search, or another part of the Cribl ecosystem.
  • Track resource usage: Get detailed, product-level visibility into how your pipelines and tool are contributing to the overall system usage and performance.
  • Simple credit tracking: Easily check how many credits you’ve purchased and how many remain. 
  • Spot anomalies quickly: Detect unusual spikes in spending or resource consumption and trace them back to the cause.
  • Flexible time filters: Whether you want a daily, weekly, or monthly view, FinOps Center can be adapted to how you need to analyse your spend.

With FinOps Center, admins no longer have to guess where costs are coming from. Instead, you get transparent insights into how credits are being used, which resources are consuming the most, and where optimisations can be made – all in one centralised space.
