Abstract Security unveiled its AI-Gen Composable SIEM, a next-generation security operations platform designed natively for AI, streaming data, and modular management.
The launch follows a breakout 2025 for Abstract, including:
- 380% year-over-year ARR growth
- 280% increase in new customers
- 240% net revenue retention
- 40 strategic hires to support enterprise expansion
As security data volumes grow 25-30% annually as AI exhaust and multi-cloud complexity accelerate, traditional SIEM platforms have struggled to keep pace. AI-Gen Composable SIEM represents a fundamental shift away from monolithic architectures toward a modular, streaming-first model where ingestion, pipelines, storage, detection, AI triage, and response operate as composable building blocks.
“Next-Gen SIEM was an iteration. AI-Gen is a fundamental and architectural reset,” said Colby DeRodeff, Co-Founder and CEO of Abstract Security. “AI isn’t a feature bolted onto a legacy platform. It has to be embedded across the data pipeline from ingestion to detection to investigation. We built Abstract as AI-Gen from day one. The market validated that vision with 380% ARR growth last year. Now we’re formalizing what customers already know: composable, AI-native security operations are the future.”
What AI-Gen Composable SIEM Means
AI-Gen Composable SIEM introduces a system-of-systems architecture that enables organizations to:
- Decouple data sources and destinations to eliminate vendor lock-in
- Run detections in-stream for near real-time threat response
- Tier and route data intelligently to reduce storage costs
- Embed AI across workflows for triage, investigation, and response
- Scale elastically across multi-cloud and hybrid environments
Unlike legacy platforms that centralize all functionality into a single stack, AI-Gen Composable SIEM allows enterprises to choose their architecture, deployment model, and analytics engines without sacrificing performance or control.
“As a day one investor, I saw early that Abstract wasn’t trying to compete in the legacy SIEM category — they are building the platform to redefine it,” said Matt Bigge, Partner at Crosslink Capital. “This launch marks an important milestone in what I believe will be a generational shift in how enterprises approach security data and detection.”
“What stands out about Abstract is not just the performance, but the flexibility,” said Errol Weiss, Chief Security Officer at Health-ISAC. “AI-Gen Composable SIEM gives security teams architectural control while accelerating detection and reducing operational friction. That’s a rare combination.”
From Signal to Scale
Abstract enters 2026 under the theme Signal to Scale, reflecting the company’s focus on expanding adoption of the AI-Gen model across enterprise and regulated markets.
Security leaders are increasingly prioritizing data strategy as the foundation of effective AI-driven security operations. By shifting analytics left into the data stream and embedding AI natively into detection and response workflows, Abstract customers report:
- 65–75% reduction in SIEM-related costs
- Faster mean time to detect (MTTD)
- Faster mean time to respond (MTTR)
“Security teams have outgrown legacy SIEM platforms,” said Richard Stiennon, Chief Research Analyst, IT-Harvest. “Next gen SIEMs that leverage AI represent a new architecture purpose-built for today’s cloud-native, high-velocity environments.”
“Security leaders in highly regulated environments cannot afford architectural constraints,” said Marco Maiurano, Chief Information Security Officer at Mizuho and Advisor to Abstract. “As data volumes expand and workload per analyst increases, platforms must deliver both adaptability and governed AI assistance at scale. A composable, streaming-first model represents a necessary evolution for modern security operations.”
Founded in 2023, Abstract has raised $28.5 million across seed and Series A funding and continues to expand its enterprise footprint across Fortune 1000 and global organizations. Abstract prides itself with providing easy-to-use solutions, but also providing first class customer service for all customers and partners.
Abstract will be at RSAC in March and the team is available for product demonstrations and conversations.
