Actblue Builds a Scalable Data Pipeline to Empower Their Security Engineers

Building a robust, maintainable, performant data pipeline is complex. AWS infrastructure creates a tremendous amount of log data that needs to be collected and organized, and security teams are increasingly tasked with creating and maintaining a secure data pipeline. Teams are asked to “be data-driven,” onboard a SIEM, ensure clean, tagged data is flowing, deploy detections, and confirm they are working continuously - all while staying within budget.

Security teams must implement a modern, scalable detection, response, and analytics platform to make this mandate a reality.

For ActBlue, Panther is that platform. Join Panther and ActBlue as we dig into a few specific decisions the ActBlue team made from day one to deploy a robust, maintainable, and performant data platform that would support their entire infosec program. These decisions include:

• Leveraging out-of-the-box schemas and detections for AWS environments
• Detection-as-Code from day one
• CI/CD orchestrations for detection and configurations
• Data pipeline health monitoring and maintenance
• Schema first all the things
