Customer Story: ScaryByte

Restoring Academic Integrity with Real-Time AI and Log Analytics

When academic institutions faced a surge in digital fraud and cheating, ScaryByte stepped up to tackle a mission of trust. This Johannesburg-based cybersecurity firm built Obala—an AI-powered platform integrating Graylog Security and AWS—to bring visibility and rapid threat detection to the education sector.

What You’ll Learn in This Case Study:

• How disjointed log sources made it nearly impossible to detect academic fraud

• Why ScaryByte chose Graylog Security as the foundation for real-time detection

• How the Obala platform correlates events across complex digital ecosystems

• The role of behavioral analytics and automated response in reducing investigation times

• How scalable, expert-driven deployments deliver results without complexity

By unifying telemetry from proctoring tools, LMSs, and identity systems, Scarybyte transformed scattered data into a cohesive security strategy. This is more than just log management—it’s a blueprint for rebuilding confidence in digital education.
