Modernize your SOC for the AI era

Your SOC isn’t short on tools — it’s buried in them. Fragmented data, rising SIEM costs, and slow investigations make it harder to keep up. Modern teams take control of their telemetry when they can route, shape, and analyze data across any tool, without lock-in.

The Challenge

When noisy telemetry slows every move

Security teams are being asked to move faster, investigate deeper, and adopt AI — but the architecture underneath them hasn’t kept up. Data is scattered across tools, AI pilots stall on messy inputs, SIEM costs continue to rise, and every investigation turns into a manual, multi-step process. The result: slower response times, limited visibility, and constant tradeoffs between cost and coverage.

THE CASE FOR MODERNIZING YOUR SOC

SOC underwater with no way out?

Analysts are skipping lunches, dashboards are lit up in red, and the ticket queue keeps climbing while attacks grow more sophisticated. The SOC adds more rules, more workflows, more status reports — yet meaningful coverage still feels out of reach. When the team is already at its limit, what else is left to change?

The Solution

Put your data on a fast track

Modern SOCs don’t start with tools, they start with control. By putting a vendor-neutral telemetry control plane in front of your SIEM, XDR, data lakes, and AI stack, you decide what data goes where, in what shape, and at what cost. That means predictable operations, flexible tool choices, faster investigations, and the flexibility to evolve your stack without re-architecting everything.

ROUTING.svg

Route the right data to the right place

Stop sending everything everywhere. Filter, enrich, and route telemetry before it hits downstream tools so you can reduce ingest costs while keeping the data that actually matters.

COST CUTTING.svg

Break free from SIEM tradeoffs

Decouple data from any single system so you’re not forced to choose between cost, retention, and performance. Optimize each independently based on your needs.

Investigate across all your data

Query data where it lives—across SIEM, data lakes, and object storage—without needing to centralize everything first. Move faster with fewer pivots and less friction.

Build an AI-ready data foundation

AI only works if your data does. Clean, structured, and well-routed telemetry gives you the foundation to actually apply AI to investigations—not just experiment with it.

MODERNIZE FOR AI-ERA DEFENSE

From chaos to AI-ready SOC

Good AI requires a predictable data foundation. This guide shows how to wrap a vendor-neutral data plane, search, and AI around what you already have — so you can keep more evidence for compliance, hunt deeper, and introduce AI safely, one workflow at a time, without ripping out your existing stack.

Key features

Data Control

Shape and route before telemetry ingest

Filter noise, enrich events, and send the right data to the right destinations in real time—so downstream systems only process what they need.

Unified Access

Search across all data, wherever it lives

Investigate across SIEM, object storage, and data lakes without moving data first—reducing latency and speeding up response.

Cost Optimization

Reduce SIEM ingest and storage costs

Control what gets indexed, retained, or archived so you can significantly lower costs without sacrificing coverage.

AI Enablement

Prepare data for AI-driven workflows

Ensure your telemetry is clean, structured, and accessible so AI can accelerate investigations instead of adding complexity.

Customer Success Story

From stored data to searchable answers in minutes

“We had all the data in Amazon Security Lake, but I wasn't ready to start setting up Athena… within 5–10 minutes, I was able to start searching… and get the data I needed quickly.”
