CYBERSECURITY

Complete security data. No compromises.

All the evidence is there, but only if you keep it. Short retention windows don’t just limit investigations, they determine which threats you’re able to find. Hydrolix retains complete, full-fidelity security data for years, all of it hot and queryable, at a fraction of the storage costs of traditional SIEMs.

A better data foundation for modern security

Origin-to-edge visibility

Detect DDoS patterns, credential abuse, and bot-driven attacks at the network layer before they reach your application.

CDN INSIGHTS

Long-term retention

Store security data without sampling or gaps, retaining everything your investigations need.

DARK DATA IN CYBERSECURITY

100% hot storage

All data is stored hot and ready to query, with no tiering, no delays, and no restrictions based on age or volume.

WHY ALL YOUR DATA SHOULD BE HOT

A better data foundation for your security stack

Uncover security threats across your delivery network

  • Monitor all your CDN providers in a single unified view, without switching between tools or dashboards.
  • Detect traffic spikes consistent with DDoS patterns before they affect end users.
  • Track bot behavior trends and correlate against WAF policies to make more informed decisions about what to block and what to allow.

Years of context, seconds to answers

  • Retain WAF, CDN, and API telemetry long-term without sampling, so you have a complete history for investigations.
  • All data stored hot for precision queries across petabyte-scale datasets, with no tiering or cold storage delays.
  • Threat-hunt across your complete data history and reconstruct attack timelines with full context.
  • Cut storage costs 10x or more versus legacy platforms, with high compression and S3-compatible object storage.

Hydrolix and your security stack, better together

  • Keep your Splunk workflows intact and retain more data for longer, without changing how your team works.
  • Use Kibana to query Hydrolix data with KQL and run dashboards, whether you’re complementing or replacing your existing ELK stack.
  • Offload long-term retention from expensive SIEM infrastructure to reduce costs without disrupting operations.

Frequently asked questions

Is Hydrolix a SIEM replacement?

No. Hydrolix is designed to work alongside your SIEM, not replace it. Your SIEM remains the control plane for detection, alerting, and workflows. Hydrolix acts as the data layer, handling high-volume telemetry more efficiently so you can retain more data and reduce SIEM costs without disrupting your existing operations.

How does Hydrolix work with Splunk?

Hydrolix extends Splunk as a storage and query layer. Analysts keep using SPL and existing workflows, while Hydrolix handles retention, compression, and query efficiency at a scale your SIEM wasn’t built for.

What does “full-fidelity” mean in practice?

Every event is stored exactly as received, with no sampling, no field reduction, and no deletion of underlying data. A log record from 14 months ago contains the same complete set of fields as one from this morning. Platforms that sample or tier older data can’t make that guarantee, which limits what investigations can actually establish.

What data should we send to Hydrolix?

Hydrolix is best suited for high-volume security telemetry that is expensive to retain in your SIEM, including WAF logs, CDN logs, and API traffic. These data sources are often the first to be sampled or dropped due to cost, but they’re critical for investigations. Hydrolix allows you to retain them in full, for longer periods, without the typical tradeoffs.

Our analysts work in 30–90 day retention windows. What changes?

The investigation workflow doesn’t change. Your team keeps using the tools and query interfaces they know. What changes is how far back a query can reach. Threats that established persistence months before discovery become visible. Early-stage attacker behavior that would otherwise be gone can be recovered.
