Better, in more ways than one

Explore the features of the BluSapphire solution as they compare with equivalent features in Google Chronicle

BluSapphire
Google Chronicle
Architecture
Open data platform with native threat detection functionalities and agentless architecture. Our Big Data lake enables seamless correlation and effortless log ingestion welcoming third-party solution management, making triage through the BluSapphire platform easy. With our multi-tenant architecture, cross-intelligence sharing becomes effortless. Discover our comprehensive in-house threat detection and response functionality.
Google Chronicle has a cloud-native architecture with petabyte-scale architecture designed to ingest massive datasets. It is highly scalable and is built on Google's infrastructure however, can lack flexibility in customization.
Deployment
Sensor, Log Collector - A simple VM or commodity hardware to ingest network traffic.No Firewall ports to open if outbound communication is open for all.Less than 2% of Network bandwidth consumption. BluSapphire's components do not sit in line hence, no risk of outage.
Provides a fully cloud-based deployment which is fast, and so does not require agents in most cases. It integrates smoothly into existing Google Cloud environments.
Detection
The Comprehensive One platform eliminates security operations silos by seamlessly integrating native threat detection components and consolidating third-party telemetry. With effortless triage capabilities, it incorporates Native Threat detection components built on NBAD, UEBA, EDR, Deception.
Relies on Google's own threat intelligence, it uses machine learning to detect threats but is heavily reliant on log data from other sources.
Advanced Analytics
The open platform enables seamless data ingestion from any third-party source. BluSapphire's data lake operates on an open schema, ensuring a consistent data structure across different onboarded sources. This common schema facilitates efficient data management and analysis, simplifying the handling of complex data. The horizontally scalable data lake allows unrestricted data ingestion, with no limits commercially on the number of queries or dashboards for analysis and problem-solving purposes.
Uses machine learning extensively for advanced analytics. Provides long-term data retention for historical threat hunting.
Response
Response functions are distributed across various components including endpoints, networks, Active Directory (AD), third-party security, and network devices or applications. There are no restrictions when working with Third Party APIs to execute response functions. REST APIs are available to facilitate seamless data exchange with third-party systems.
It has limited response capabilities and so relies on integration with external SOAR tools or Google's cloud-native services like BeyondCorp.
XDR
The Hybrid XDR solution is built from the ground up with native components along with Third Party integrations,  providing a unified platform to detect malicious signals across cloud, endpoints, users, and networks. By significantly reducing false positives, it greatly enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of security operations.
Offers XDR through integration with Google Cloud services but lacks native endpoint and network detection.
Threat Hunt
Experience industry-first agent-less hunts directly on hosts. Eliminate the risk of overlooking any artifacts during hunt exercises. Execute hunts guided by the MITRE framework and hypotheses. Create and search for your own indicators/artifacts without limitations. BluSapphire offers meticulously curated threat intelligence from over 110+ sources. You are also free to consume threat intelligence of your choice. Effortlessly conduct hunts on data stored in your data lake.
It is strong in data hunting using Google’s extensive infrastructure and threat intelligence but lacks flexibility for customized hunts.
Remote Forensics
Can fetch remote forensics real time from computer devices while staying completely agentless enabling analysts for analysis and or build assurance.
It has limited remote forensics capabilities and so relies on external tools for detailed analysis.
Managed Detection and Response
Powered by BluHawk team - offers you a dedicated Point of contact and access to professional analyst, threat hunters, Incident response teams.
Google Chronicle does not have a dedicated MDR offering, instead it integrates with Google's cloud security services.
Unlimited Storage
Offers unlimited hot data storage. In Addition, BluSapphire offers flexibility in storing your data within your AWS S3 / Azure Blurb. Your data, your control at an affordable cost.
Allows long-term, cost-effective storage using Google’s infrastructure.
Contract Flexibility
No Contacting anymore - no lock-in. Pay monthly, move on if you do not like.
Is typically tied to cloud service contracts with limited flexibility.
Time to Value
(Deployment + Tune + Ops Timeline)
Deployment closes in <48 hours, tune up & system operational in 3 days.
Has a quick cloud-based deployment but requires tuning for specific use cases.
Interoperability
Open to work with any existing technology deployed within the organisation. With or without integration.
The platform is highly interoperable within Google Cloud but is limited outside of it.
TCO
Low, One platform offers you holistic coverage by identification of threat signals across user, network, cloud.
Moderate TCO however, scales well for large datasets.
ROI
High, On Average >145%
Gives a high ROI for large enterprises with extensive datasets, lower for smaller use cases.
Our cyber-detection capabilities increased drastically. Agentless Quarantine has improved our response times
