Instead of sending all security data to one platform, Abstract analyzes data as it arrives. This helps companies detect threats faster, reduce storage costs and avoid being locked into one security provider.

Abstract's AI Gen Security Operations platform combines a flexible architecture, real time threat detection and AI to improve security operations. It analyzes data as it moves, helping security teams detect threats faster and investigate incidents more efficiently.

"We back founders with the depth and conviction to build something category-defining, and Abstract has both," said Manish Agarwal, General Partner, AVP. "Security teams are putting AI at the center of how they operate, and AI is only as good as the data underneath it. The teams that come out ahead will be the ones that own their data, route it on their terms, and detect in real time rather than after the fact. Abstract is building the platform to get them there."

"For more than two decades, SIEM has been the foundation of security operations. AI-Gen Security Operations is what's next," said Colby DeRodeff, CEO and co-founder of Abstract. "It gives organizations control over their data, runs detections while data is still in motion, and embeds AI into every stage of detection, triage, investigation, and response. We built Abstract around that vision from day one because AI isn't a feature bolted onto the SOC.
