Cloud-native big data and security analytics firm Sumo Logic is investigating a potential security incident within their platform, the company revealed on Tuesday.

"On Friday, November 3rd, 2023, Sumo Logic discovered evidence of a potential security incident. The activity identified used a compromised credential to access a Sumo Logic AWS account," the company said in its security notice.

"We have not at this time discovered any impacts to our networks or systems, and customer data has been and remains encrypted."

Upon detecting suspicious activity, the company moved to secure its vulnerable infrastructure, change other potentially compromised credentials, bolster system security measures, and investigate the incident's source and magnitude.

The investigation is still ongoing, and the company promised to directly notify customers if evidence of malicious access to their Sumo Logic accounts is found.

Sumo Logic was acquired earlier this year by global investment firm Francisco Partners and has recently laid off 79 employees.
