Cost Optimization Scenarios
Many organizations face a difficult choice: continue paying escalating costs for a legacy SIEM that isn’t meeting their needs, or undertake a risky and expensive “rip-and-replace” project. BluSapphire offers a third way. Our platform is designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing environment, allowing you to modernize your security operations, drastically reduce costs, and improve outcomes—all without disrupting your current investment.
This document outlines three powerful architecture scenarios that demonstrate how BluSapphire can augment and optimize your existing security stack.
Scenario 1: DataStreamer for EPS Reduction & Compliance
The Challenge: Your SIEM costs are spiraling out of control. You are paying a premium to ingest massive volumes of log data, 80% of which is only needed for compliance and is rarely used for active threat detection. This not only inflates your budget but also slows down your SIEM's performance.
The Solution: BluSapphire DataStreamer sits at the front of your data pipeline, acting as an intelligent router. It uses AI to automatically classify your logs, sending only the high-value security data (the top 20%) to your expensive SIEM, while routing the remaining 80% of compliance-level data to a low-cost S3 storage bucket. You retain 100% of your data for compliance, but slash your SIEM ingestion costs by up to 80%.
Cost Reduction
Immediately reduce SIEM licensing and storage costs by up to 80%.
Full Compliance
Retain all logs for regulatory requirements in cost-effective storage.
Performance Boost
Your SIEM runs faster and more efficiently with only relevant data.
No Vendor Lock-In
Your data is stored in an open format, making it portable and future-proof.
Scenario 2: Hybrid Architecture with a Marquee SIEM
The Challenge: You have a significant investment in a marquee SIEM like Splunk or Microsoft Sentinel, but it’s struggling to keep up with modern threats and the costs are becoming unsustainable. You want the benefits of an AI-native platform without abandoning your current system of record.
The Solution: The BluSapphire OnePlatform can run in a hybrid model alongside your existing SIEM. In this architecture, OnePlatform handles the heavy lifting of real-time detection and analysis across 100% of your data. It then sends only the high-fidelity, actionable alerts to your marquee SIEM. Your existing SIEM is transformed from an expensive, slow data processor into a lean, efficient system of record for compliance and reporting, reducing its license cost by 70-85%.
Investment Protection
Keep your existing SIEM and workflows while modernizing your capabilities.
Enhanced Detection
Leverage OnePlatform's superior AI-driven detection across all your data.
Massive Cost Savings
Dramatically reduce your marquee SIEM's licensing costs.
Future-Proof
Gain a seamless, low-risk pathway to gradually migrate away from your legacy SIEM.
Scenario 3: AR² Autonomous Operations with a Marquee SIEM
The Challenge: Your security team is overwhelmed with alert fatigue. Thousands of alerts from your SIEM every day make it impossible to respond quickly, and the cost of staffing a 24/7 SOC is prohibitive. You need to automate your response, but your existing SIEM’s capabilities are limited.
The Solution: BluSapphire AR² Agentic AI acts as a universal orchestrator that sits on top of your entire security stack. It ingests alerts from both OnePlatform and your marquee SIEM, then autonomously performs triage, investigation, and response. AR² can validate alerts, gather context from both platforms, and execute remediation actions like isolating a host or blocking an IP. This frees your human analysts to focus only on the most critical, validated threats, boosting SOC efficiency by 80%.
Autonomous SOC
Automate 95% of the alert triage and response process.
Sub-2-Minute Response
Neutralize threats in under two minutes, 24/7, without human intervention.
Platform Agnostic
Works seamlessly with any SIEM, including Splunk, QRadar, and Sentinel.
Reduced Analyst Burnout
Your team can focus on high-value threat hunting and strategic initiatives.
The Ultimate Architecture: Combining All Three
The most powerful and cost-effective security posture is achieved by combining all three scenarios. This creates a hyper-efficient, future-proof architecture that delivers unmatched security outcomes at a fraction of the cost of traditional models.
This combined approach provides up to 90% total cost reduction while delivering a level of speed, intelligence, and automation that legacy solutions cannot match.
