Customer Story: MSSP Reliance to SOC Maturity

Scaling Telecom Cybersecurity with Cloud-Native SIEM, Automation & AI

Circles, a global digital telecom provider, transitioned from MSSP dependency to an in-house, automation-powered SOC using Graylog Security Cloud on AWS. With growing compliance demands, API coverage gaps, and high analyst fatigue, Circles needed full SOC visibility, fast deployment, and automation-friendly tools.

By implementing Graylog’s agentless ingestion, API-driven workflows, SOAR integration, and AI enrichment via Illuminate, the team built a scalable, cloud-native security operation that unified visibility across AWS, on-prem, and partner workloads.
