Tenzir's mission is to make security operations plug-and-play. We enable cyber defenders to build solutions on top of an open, sustainable architecture. At the core, an open security data fabric integrates security tools in a connect-once-use-everywhere fashion, eliminating the need to integrate every new tool with potentially all existing ones. This architectural approach decreases TCO, accelerates the implementation of detection and response use cases, and unlocks innovation potential. Tenzir's open-core platform VAST forms the fabric for security data processing infrastructure in large enterprises, service providers and MDR vendors. VAST relies on open and standardized protocols to avoid vendor lock-in and de-risk future integration needs. VAST decomposes functionality, such as data acquisition from SIEM, into a composable federated deployment model. Our highly modular application architecture makes VAST embeddable in IoT applications, in hybrid-cloud environments, and at the edge. We can fit the shape of your organization and adapt as often and quickly as your business requires.
