Summary

ChaosSearch is a modern log analytics solution designed to help FinTech companies manage exponential data growth and overcome challenges associated with traditional solutions such as high administrative overhead, complexity and performance trade-offs, and high data retention costs. By leveraging Amazon S3 cloud object storage, ChaosSearch auto-detects schema and indexes log data directly in S3 buckets without data movement or duplication, providing a cost-effective solution for log analysis at scale. The platform offers features such as automated threat hunting, cloud operations monitoring, application troubleshooting, and business intelligence integration, which can help FinTech companies improve their threat hunting success, maintain oversight of cloud resource utilization, troubleshoot application issues, and gain deeper insights into their applications and infrastructure. ChaosSearch also relieves back pressure on developers with a schema-on-read approach that allows log-free logging and transforms data after ingestion, making it easier for FinTech companies to start analyzing logs and unlock the hidden value of log analytics.
