Cybersecurity incidents are costly, and using an endpoint detection and response (EDR) solution enables the detection of cybersecurity incidents as quickly as possible. To effectively detect cybersecurity incidences requires the collection of millions of data points, and the storing/querying of endpoints data presents considerable engineering challenges. This includes quickly moving local data from endpoints to a single table in the cloud and enabling performant querying against it.

The need to avoid internal data siloing within BlackBerry was paramount as multiple teams required access to the data to deliver an effective EDR solution for the present and the future. Databricks tooling enabled us to break down our data silos and iteratively improve our EDR pipeline to ingest data faster and reduce querying latency by more than 20% while reducing costs by more than 30%.

In this session, we will share the journey, lessons learned, and the future for collecting, storing, governing, and sharing data from endpoints in Databricks. The result of building EDR using Databricks helped us accelerate the deployment of our data platform.
