Security data operations company Abstract Security Inc. today announced a new partnership with cloud security company Netskope Inc. to give joint customers the ability to bring detection directly into the data stream and to help eliminate indexing delays for more efficient threat detection.

The partnership will allow Abstract Security and Netskope customers to simplify and optimize the collection, transformation and analysis of Netskope One telemetry. High-fidelity secure service edge data will be ingested directly into Abstract’s adaptive pipeline to allow joint customers to filter, enrich and route critical security context to any security information and event management, data lake, or analytics platform.

The integration, the companies say, will help ensure that customers maintain full data sovereignty and deep visibility while also eliminating prohibitive costs that are typical of high-volume log ingestion.

“Abstract is very committed to working with Netskope to provide customers fast detections, reduced false positives and measurable return on investment through reduced storage costs and accelerated mean-time-to-detection,” explains Mike Anderson, vice president of business development at Abstract Security. “Our combined focus on best-in-class, in-motion analytics provides organizations with the real-time context and control required to secure the modern cloud perimeter.”

As modern cloud environments generate massive volumes of security data, most organizations still depend on legacy workflows where detection runs only after logs are ingested and indexed. That forces teams to trade visibility for cost and time. Added to the mix is that by the time analytics systems can query the data, opportunities to detect and respond early have already passed. Abstract Security and Netskope together help eliminate the delays by bringing detection directly into the data stream.

Benefits of the partnership include in-stream detection, adaptive enrichment and dynamic routing. Abstract analyzes Netskope Log Streaming data as it moves to identify anomalies, patterns and potential threats in real time, adds context such as identity, geo and threat intel before data ever lands in a SIEM or data lake and sends only relevant, high-value security events to downstream tools, cutting waste while enhancing insight.

The partnership also offers seamless integration, with lightweight deployment built in collaboration with Netskope.

The return on investment for customers includes immediate visibility, with risks detected with the data flow. There’s also greater operational efficiency that solves the “data explosion” challenge and streamlines security operations center operations, as well as actionable analytics that transform raw security service edge telemetry into actionable intelligence. Finally, the integration unifies architectural agility to replace fragmented legacy stacks with a single, adaptive streaming layer.

Abstract Security is a venture capital-backed startup that has raised $23.5 million over two rounds. Investors in the company include Munich Re Ventures GmbH, Crosslink Capital, Rally Ventures and Liquid 2 Ventures.
