Stellar Cyber, a provider of AI-driven Open Extended Detection and Response (XDR) technology, announced a new feature for its Open XDR platform: support for "Bring Your Own Data Lake" (BYODL). This allows organizations that have standardized their data storage frameworks on platforms such as Splunk, Snowflake, Elastic, AWS security data lake, or any S3-compatible storage (like Wasabi) to seamlessly integrate Stellar Cyber’s Open XDR technology into their security infrastructure.
With this latest development, transitioning to a new security platform is less complex and cost restrictive for organizations - issues that have slowed migration. Now they can continue using their existing data lakes while still benefiting from Stellar Cyber's security capabilities.
“Now, with our new BYODL support, we ensure that organizations moving to our Open XDR Platform have seamless interoperability across their data lake of choice. This improves their security team’s ability to detect, investigate, and respond to advanced threats and significantly reduces their financial burden,” said Aimei Wei, CTO at Stellar Cyber.
With the addition of the Open XDR platform they’ll get:
- Seamless Integration with Security Data Sources: The platform can connect with various security data sources, including endpoint security, email security, identities/IAMs, firewalls, CASBs, SASEs, SaaS applications, and more. Unnecessary data can be filtered out at the collection point, saving processing resources and costs.
- The Ability to Normalize and Enrich Data: The platform normalizes all ingested data into a standard format and enriches it with contextual information. This standardization allows Stellar Cyber’s AI/ML models to analyze the data effectively.
- Flexible Data Routing: After processing, the data can be routed to the customer’s chosen data lake. This flexibility ensures that organizations can maintain their preferred data storage solutions without compromising on security analysis.
- Advanced AI-Based Analysis: Stellar Cyber’s AI-based analysis engine examines all ingested data to identify related security alerts across the entire environment. Utilizing Graph ML techniques, the platform can automatically correlate related alerts into cohesive cases, helping analysts visualize entire attack paths.
With AI-driven automation, security analysts can quickly detect threats, efficiently investigate incidents, and initiate automated response actions directly from Stellar Cyber, all while keeping the data in the preferred data lake.
“With an open platform, we are committed to ensuring our customers are in control of their destiny when they use Stellar Cyber,” said Wei. “That includes empowering organizations to decide how to handle their data while being able to detect, investigate, and respond to threats quickly. Our support for BYODL should help many organizations that were previously concerned about the costs associated with another data lake. This flexibility in data handling eliminates a common roadblock that kept them from benefiting from the advanced automation, threat detection, and fast response capabilities our customers currently enjoy. With Stellar Cyber, you’re in the driver’s seat when it comes to your data security.”
