Abstract Security is a cybersecurity company founded in 2023 by Colby DeRodeff, Ryan Clough, Chris Camacho, and Aaron Shelmire, headquartered in Pittsburgh. The company has raised $28.5 million from investors including Munich Re Ventures, Crosslink Capital, and Rally Ventures, positioning itself against monolithic, single-vendor SIEM platforms that lock security teams into one detection engine and one pricing model.
Instead of one rigid pipeline, Abstract separates security operations into composable layers: a data-collection fabric that ingests and normalizes logs from cloud, SaaS, endpoint, and identity sources; a detection layer that runs real-time, historical, and distributed analysis simultaneously; and a tiered retention system (Real Time, Hot, Warm) that stores data according to its actual value instead of treating every log the same way. An AI-assisted layer sits on top for triage, investigation, and threat hunting across whichever combination of tools a team has assembled.
The platform targets SOC teams, MSPs, and compliance-driven enterprises that have outgrown a legacy SIEM's cost or rigidity but still need centralized visibility. Abstract doesn't publish pricing, the only path to a quote is booking a demo through the company's site.
