挑战
SEGA Europe sought techniques to strengthen how it safeguarded the personal details supplied by millions of loyal fans. A key aspect of this exercise was consolidating security-related machine data from the company’s hybrid cloud into a single source of truth, while also establishing repeatable processes for onboarding yet-to-be-acquired game studios. Although the initial SIEM ventures appeared to be promising, the company soon encountered a number of daunting drawbacks including: deploying these solutions required making weighty expenditures for dedicated hardware and related infrastructure, SEGA Europe’s site-specific requirements necessitated significant outlays for customization, and the SIEM applications were overly brittle, and needed costly professional services to address errors and performance issues. It became apparent that the situation was untenable, and that failing to resolve these shortfalls could jeopardize SEGA Europe’s relentless commitment to the safety and security of its customers. In response, the company began an aggressive search to identify a replacement that could also serve as a ‘single source of truth’ for its nascent security operations center (SOC).
关于客户
With an illustrious history dating back to the 1940s, SEGA’s mission has always been to entertain the world with creative, innovative experiences. From its inception, the company has been a pioneer, delighting people with offerings that have included coin operated machines, home consoles, handheld devices, apps, and movies. As just one example, today tens of millions of enthusiastic fans eagerly anticipate the next Sonic The Hedgehog installment. SEGA Europe, Ltd. is the European Distribution arm of Tokyo-based SEGA Games. SEGA Europe is headquartered in London, but wholly owns the development studios, Relic Entertainment in Vancouver, Amplitude Studios in Paris and Creative Assembly, Sports Interactive, Two Point Studios and Hardlight, all based in the UK. Every enterprise in the entertainment business must satisfy their sophisticated, demanding customers, and SEGA Europe is no exception to this rule. The company strives to stay ahead of its competition through a series of measures that range from continuously polling its fans to get their feedback and understand how they’re interacting with the company’s products to launching inventive new platforms such as gaming as a service. Acquisitions are also a big part of how SEGA Europe expands its product collection to keep up with the latest market trends.
解决方案
The company chose Sumo Logic’s cloud-native machine data management solution to replace its legacy Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system. As part of this undertaking, SEGA Europe concentrated all of its log files from Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure into Sumo Logic and then configured customized dashboards to address precise user needs. SEGA Europe conducted its Sumo Logic rollout solely with in-house personnel. With an eye towards the future–including being prepared to onboard new acquisitions more quickly–the company’s implementation team invested sufficient time to fully establish a logical architecture. These efforts entailed defining consistent naming conventions and configuring data containers for anticipated growth, along with performing intensive testing. With the preparation phases complete, the company then speedily transitioned into production, beginning by ingesting machine data –from a diverse set of sources such as AWS GuardDuty, Microsoft Advanced Thread Protection, anti-virus logs, and internally developed applications–into its new Sumo Logic instance.

Darwin Ecosystem: Accelerating discovery and insight through cutting-edge big data and cognitive technologies
Darwin Ecosystem was founded with a unique vision of harnessing chaos theory mathematics to uncover previously hidden connections in unstructured data. The company’s algorithms can look at all the data generated by any source (such as news, RSS feeds and Twitter), and analyze how a specific set of concepts within that data are evolving over time. This is particularly valuable in situations such as business and competitive intelligence, social research, brand monitoring, legal discovery, risk mitigation and even law enforcement. A common problem in these areas is that a regular web search will only turn up the all-time most popular answers to a given question – but what the expert researcher is actually interested in is the moment-tomoment evolution of the data available on that topic. Darwin’s algorithm is computationally intensive, and the sources of data it correlates can be vast. To bring its benefits to a larger commercial audience, Darwin needed to find a way to make it scale.

Delivering modern data protection with cloud scale backup from Cobalt Iron and IBM
Organizations are struggling to modernize their legacy data protection environments in the face of growing demands around new infrastructure, new applications, and budget consolidation. Virtualization and modern application development processes have significantly outgrown legacy backup architectures. In response, infrastructure teams have created multiple backup solution types to handle the varying SLAs (performance, scale, cost) required by their business sponsors. However, the sheer number and variety of solutions in this uncontrolled expansion creates huge amounts of work, threatening to overwhelm the IT team in many organizations. Today, developers may add new applications and virtual server instances by the hundreds per day without accounting for the restrictions of the existing backup infrastructure. They leverage the cloud for immediate compute and storage resources, yet rarely communicate succinctly with corporate IT to ensure that the appropriate data protection services are in place.
