Why Cerbi
Every team experiences the same predictable failures. The only question is whether you find them before an incident or after one.
Logging behavior is broken
Every team logs differently.
No shared schema. No enforced field names. Each service is its own dialect.
Field names drift over time.
What was userId becomes user_id becomes uid. Dashboards break silently.
Sensitive data gets logged during debugging.
A developer adds a log line in a hurry. It goes to production. It stays there.
Logs are written for moments, not systems.
Useful in the moment, unqueryable later. No structure, no governance.
Dashboards break because data is inconsistent.
You can't aggregate what isn't uniform. Bad logging creates bad observability.
Cleanup happens after incidents.
The breach happens. Then the audit. Then the remediation. Always in that order.
This isn't a tooling problem. It's a control problem.
22%
Of breaches had compromised credentials as the initial access vector
88%
Of basic web application breaches involved stolen credentials
94 days
Median time to remediate a leaked secret after discovery
These figures reflect credential exposure broadly — not application logs specifically. They establish why stopping secrets from spreading into more places than necessary has measurable security value.
Business impact
Lower observability costs
Reduce unnecessary log volume before ingestion. Fewer irrelevant events means lower Splunk and Datadog spend.
Prevent sensitive data leaks
Stop PII, credentials, and tokens before they leave the application. Not after they've reached your pipeline.
Improve incident response
Consistent log structure means faster queries, reliable alerts, and dashboards that actually reflect reality.
Eliminate rework across teams
One policy, applied consistently. No more per-team logging standards, downstream cleanup, or field mapping gymnastics.
Restore trust in dashboards
When logging behavior is governed, your dashboards and alerts reflect what is actually happening in production.
Bad logging behavior compounds cost, risk, and confusion.
Cerbi stops it at the source.
