Arctic Wolf partners with Databricks to enhance Aurora platform

Arctic Wolf®, a leader in security operations, has announced a strategic collaboration with Databricks to expand the capabilities of the Arctic Wolf® Aurora Platform. The integration of Databricks' Data Intelligence Platform into Aurora's data pipeline aims to boost the platform's ability to process vast volumes of security telemetry in real-time, delivering faster security outcomes to a global audience.

In today’s digital landscape, the abundance of security tools and cloud applications introduces a significant data management challenge for security teams. The sheer volume, diversity, and velocity of data make it complex to promptly detect threats and mitigate risks. With the stakes high and complexity intensifying, even well-resourced teams run the risk of missing critical threats without a scalable solution.

Arctic Wolf carves out a leading position by building the Aurora Platform, regarded as one of the most scalable and high-performing systems in cybersecurity. Processing over eight trillion security observations weekly and accumulating more than 300 petabytes of data each year, the Aurora Platform sets a high bar for data integration.

This partnership with Databricks significantly enriches the platform's ability to streamline telemetry from endpoints, cloud applications, identity systems, firewalls, and other sources into a cohesive, high-throughput environment. Thanks to this deep integration, Arctic Wolf's AI-powered Security Operations Center (SOC) delivers enhanced threat detection and accelerated response speeds to its global customer base, which exceeds 10,000 organisations.

The data-driven core at Aurora amplifies Arctic Wolf's Alpha AI, a suite of predictive and generative AI technologies crafted specifically for security operations. Alpha AI, improved continuously through extensive security telemetry, counters alert fatigue, speeds up investigation processes, and helps clients prioritise the most relevant threats.

"Running security operations at scale demands a data architecture optimised for performance, agility, and real-time insights. Arctic Wolf is a leader in this space, having pioneered a unified approach to security operations through a single, integrated platform," said Omar Khawaja, Databricks Field CISO, VP Security. "By integrating the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform with Arctic Wolf's Aurora Platform, we're enabling them to fully harness the power of their security telemetry, driving faster, smarter decisions across one of the world’s largest commercial Security Operations Centers."

This collaboration also benefits from Databricks' secure lake house architecture, which unifies and protects security telemetry with stringent security controls and compliance certifications. Allowing Arctic Wolf to innovate continuously, the partnership empowers them to meet their mission of ending cyber risk, ensuring client data safety and next-generation security operational readiness.
