Cut SIEM Log Volume by 40-80% Without Losing Detection Fidelity

Reduce ingestion cost. Eliminate duplicate and low-value logs. Keep every event your detection rules actually need.

No SIEM replacement. No new agents. No rule rewrites.

Log Reduction 40-80%
Faster Detection 425x
Cost Avoidance $11M+

You're Paying to Ingest Noise

In large enterprise environments, 18-35% of log volume is duplicate or replayed - sent by agents, retries, and failover mechanisms that nobody filters out. Another 20-40% is low-value debug telemetry that never triggers a detection rule.

Time reordering - Out-of-order timestamps distort detection windows and confuse correlation engines.
Schema drift - Field meanings shift silently across versions, breaking parsers and detection rules.
False positive cascade - Duplicates trigger alerts across multiple rules. Analysts investigate the same event repeatedly.
Cost spiral - Storage tiers balloon month over month. None of the growth improves security posture.

Log Processing Before the SIEM

Expanso sits upstream - validating, filtering, and enforcing integrity before ingestion ever happens.

Without Expanso

100% of log volume hits the SIEM

Duplicates indexed and correlated

False positives multiply across rules

Storage tiers balloon month over month

Analysts drowning in noise, missing real threats

With Expanso

40-80% log reduction before indexing

Duplicates removed deterministically

Correlation engines operate on clean logs

False positives decline, storage tiers shrink

Analysts focus on real incidents

01

Intercept at the edge

Expanso deploys between your log sources and your SIEM. No agent changes, no collector modifications. Logs route through Expanso before ingestion.

02

Validate and deduplicate

Deterministic deduplication removes replayed events. Timestamp validation corrects ordering. Schema enforcement catches field-level drift before parsers break.

03

Deliver clean signal

Your SIEM receives validated, deduplicated, time-ordered logs. Correlation engines run faster. Detection rules fire on real events. Storage costs drop.

European Automotive OEM

12 million security events per day across 2.3 million connected vehicles.

The Challenge

A European OEM's vehicle security operations center (VSOC) processed 12 million events per day with 4 analysts. Cloud IDS latency sat at 340ms. Cellular backhaul alone cost $14.2M annually. The team was a month behind on their UN R155 compliance deadline, with cloud infrastructure projected to hit $23M.

The volume problem was not just financial. Correlation engines slowed under load, detection lagged, and analysts spent most of their time filtering noise instead of investigating threats.

What Changed

Expanso deployed at the vehicle edge, validating and deduplicating security telemetry before it reached the cloud VSOC. Pilot launched on 15,000 vehicles in 8 weeks. Detection moved from cloud to edge, cutting latency from 340ms to 0.8ms. The 4-analyst team went from buried in noise to handling 847 confirmed alerts per day. UN R155 compliance was achieved 4 months ahead of deadline.

"Can't Our SIEM Just Filter This?"

SIEM filtering happens after ingestion. By then, you have already paid for indexing. Storage has been consumed. Correlation engines have already processed redundant data.

Expanso enforces integrity before ingestion. That architectural difference changes both economics and accuracy.

SIEM Filtering

Logs → Ingest → Index → Store → Then Filter

You already paid for everything

Expanso

Logs → Filter First → Ingest Clean Data Only

Pay only for what matters

Why Security Teams Deploy Expanso

Predictable SIEM cost control

Stop surprise SIEM bills. Ingestion volume is validated and reduced before it reaches your index, so your costs stay predictable even as log sources grow.

Reduced alert fatigue

When duplicates disappear, analysts see real threats instead of replayed noise. Fewer false positives means faster triage and less burnout.

Faster mean time to resolution

Clean logs mean faster correlation, faster triage, and faster resolution. Detection latency drops from minutes to sub-second when noise is removed upstream.

No SIEM replacement required

Works alongside Splunk, Sentinel, Elastic, Datadog, or any SIEM platform. Deploy without modifying existing agents, collectors, or detection rules.

Reduction without blind spots

Unlike sampling-based tools that gamble on what you might miss, Expanso uses deterministic deduplication and schema-aware filtering. Full detection fidelity at a fraction of the volume.

Lower audit exposure

Validated telemetry with full lineage supports compliance and audit requirements. Every event that reaches your SIEM can be traced to its source.

Stop Paying to Store Redundant Logs

Reduce ingestion. Stabilize correlation. Protect detection fidelity.
