Welcomes industry expert and former analyst
Jon Oltsik to its Advisory Board and
continues disrupting the market's status quo
SAN
FRANCISCO, June 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- Abstract Security, crafted by category creators who have
consistently redefined the cybersecurity landscape, today announced
general availability (GA) of its revolutionary platform designed
for the future of security operations. Already in use by
customers, Abstract's platform helps security analysts and
operations teams navigate the complexities of data pipelines,
increase security effectiveness and lower costs.
"Since the inception of Abstract, we've been working tirelessly
to combat the challenges of security operations today, offering a
tool that focuses on the data that matters and ties security back
to business value," said Ryan
Clough, co-founder and CPO of Abstract Security. "With the
explosion of data over the last few years, customers need a more
customizable approach that moves beyond saved searches and
dashboards. We're excited to reach this GA milestone as we bring
the future security operations platform to more customers."
A key feature of Abstract's platform is the Abstract Security
Engineer (ASE), which leverages a combination of AI, expert
systems, machine learning, and subject matter expertise and
connects to data sources across an organization, delivering instant
data and detection capabilities. The security data fabric approach
enables:
- Advanced analytics and correlation: Abstract's platform
enables customers to surface threats across their enterprise and
cloud infrastructure in real-time. It's powered by out-of-the-box
detection content provided by the Abstract research team, which is
purpose-built for cloud and SaaS threats.
- Security pipelines: With data routing, transformation
and enrichment that is geared for security telemetry, customers can
reduce the volume and cost of log data sent to their SIEM. A single
point of collection enables drag-and-drop routing of data to any
number of sources, including cloud storage, SIEMs, and data
platforms.
- Optimized storage: 95% of collected log data is not
usable for detection. Abstract's platform intelligently divides
hot, warm, and cold storage tiers to automatically optimize storage
and compute costs and make the data relevant to security analytics
accessible via instant queries.
Since emerging from stealth and announcing its Seed funding
earlier this year, Abstract Security has expanded its global
footprint, hired an experienced technology leader as CTO, and
appointed a long-time industry expert to its Board of Directors. To
aid in the continued development of the Abstract Security platform,
the team has added visionary and innovator Jon Oltsik to its Advisory Board. With over 35
years of technology industry experience, Jon founded the
cybersecurity practice at the Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) in
2003 and has spent the subsequent 20 years studying cyber threats,
cyber-risk management, technical defenses, and CISO strategies. Jon
is widely recognized as an expert in all aspects of cybersecurity
and is often called upon to help customers understand a CISO's
perspective. Jon is a founding member of the Cybersecurity Canon, a
project dedicated to identifying a list of must-read books for all
cybersecurity practitioners, and he was named one of the top 100
cybersecurity influencers by Onalytica.
"Defending against cyber-attacks is more difficult today than
it's ever been. With the complexity of infrastructure and sheer
volume of data that organizations must manage, today's security
analytics teams are tired of the status quo," said Jon Oltsik, Advisory Board member of Abstract
Security. "Working as an analyst and advisor has given me a unique
perspective into the pain points of industry leaders, and that's
why I'm so excited about the unique approach that Abstract Security
is taking to solve the problems in the SIEM marketplace, and have
the opportunity to support and guide the team as they grow."
In the past several months, Abstract has also been recognized by
notable industry awards including a Global Infosec Award for
"Pioneering Cybersecurity Startup" at RSA Conference 2024, and most
recently, a 2024 Cybersecurity Excellence Award in both "Best
Cybersecurity Startup" and "SIEM" categories. The team's commitment
to crafting an excellent platform for customers, keeping their
sights on innovation, and thoughtful leadership won Abstract the
award in both categories, beating out more than 600 applicants.
