Investigate security threats and react quicker with vector maps in Sumo Logic
By: Rachel Holm
Sumo Logic — the machine data analytics platform delivering continuous intelligence — now integrates Mapbox vector maps into their platform. Together, we’re making it easier for companies to understand and act on their own business, security, and operational data. Sumo Logic now uses our vector maps and GL JS to display threat and security geolocation data in real-time. Better yet, DevOps engineers don’t have to export data to other platforms — they can view and analyze spatial trends on maps directly within Sumo Logic.
Sumo Logic uses Neustar to deliver IP geolocaton data to customers, and append log messages with latitude and longitude. With Neustar’s database, Sumo Logic users can take advantage of proactive, real-time alerting. Mapbox GL JS enriches this alerting with more accurate and dynamic maps. rendering in real-time to visualize geolocated events, like performance issues plaguing a particular region or security threats coming from one specific office. Seeing threats and issues appearing in real-time allows DevOps teams to investigate and develop solutions quickly.
Improving the customer experience is at the core of all business and technology decisions today, and has become a major competitive advantage…with the ability to integrate Mapbox technology into the Sumo Logic platform, our users can easily visualize all of their data on interactive maps to identify anomalous behavior, solve problems faster and improve their overall business operations.

Down the line, Sumo Logic will be able to add new data visualization layers to the map like heatmaps, contextual information displays, and improved log drill-downs.
