Cisco Talos empowers threat researchers while reducing TCO by 75% with ClickHouse Cloud

Cisco Talos, a renowned cybersecurity threat intelligence team, transitioned their extensive 2 PB, 2-trillion-row dataset from a self-managed OSS ClickHouse to ClickHouse Cloud, resulting in significant operational and cost benefits. This migration, which involved no downtime and maintained a 100% data match, reduced storage costs by approximately 90% and total cost of ownership by 75%, while reclaiming over 300 engineer hours annually for product development. The move to ClickHouse Cloud facilitated a shift from maintaining complex infrastructure to focusing on delivering fast and accurate threat intelligence, crucial for Cisco's security products. The new architecture, leveraging managed services and ClickPipes, eliminated the need for custom code and complex orchestration, enabling a more efficient and simplified system. This transformation underscores the team's commitment to enhancing their threat intelligence capabilities and maintaining customer trust.
