Company / About Us

Making years of security logs searchable in seconds.

We're building the infrastructure that lets security teams retain everything, search instantly, and respond faster.

At our previous companies, we watched log volumes explode—and so did the bills.

Teams were forced to choose: pay millions for traditional SIEMs or delete data and accept blindspots.

We knew there was a better way.

Leveraging our experience building large-scale distributed systems and algorithms at Cisco, Dropbox, and Accompany, we created a platform that delivers sub-10 second search across petabytes—at a fraction of the cost.

Security teams shouldn't have to sacrifice speed or coverage because of economics.
