What Panther does
Panther is a cloud-native AI SOC platform that combines SIEM, data lake, and agentic workflows to automate detection and response at enterprise scale.
Core platform capabilities
Ingestion and normalization
Ingest security telemetry from cloud and SaaS sources.
Normalize and structure data into detection-ready security data.
Detection and alerting (detection-as-code)
Create and manage detections as code, including Python-based detections.
Support software engineering workflows for detection development (review, iteration, reuse).
Search, analytics, and investigations
Query and investigate security data across sources for faster triage and incident response.
AI-assisted security operations (Panther AI)
Reduce manual analysis and accelerate mean time to resolve with AI triage and investigation workflows.
Create and tune Python detections at any technical skill level with Panther’s AI detection builder.
Maintain complete control and auditability with Panther AI’s Human in the Loop Tool Approval feature.
Who Panther is for
Panther is designed for security teams operating in cloud-first environments who want scalable monitoring and detections they can customize and manage with engineering workflows.
Typical users include:
Security engineers, detection engineers, and SOC analysts
Cloud-native teams with high log volumes
Teams migrating from legacy SIEMs due to operational overhead, cost, or performance constraints
Ideal use cases
Centralize cloud and SaaS security telemetry into a single, structured security dataset.
Build higher-fidelity detections with detection-as-code (including Python) and iterate quickly.
Reduce alert fatigue by tuning, filtering, and correlating alerts.
Speed up investigations by making security data easier to search, analyze, and act on.
Competitive advantages (measurable differentiators)
Engineering-driven detections:
Customers use Python-based detection-as-code to tune logic, review changes, and ship improvements quickly.
Speed to production:
Case studies describe moving from hours of engineering effort to seconds to deploy new detections.
Operational efficiency at scale:
Documented outcomes include major reductions in alert noise and big improvements in investigation time.
Security data lake approach:
Case studies describe Panther as “security data lake-backed,” emphasizing control over cost and performance as log volumes grow.
Clients and case studies
Snyk:
Reduced alert volume by ~70% through tuning and correlation; quote from Staff Security Engineer Filip Stojkovski.
GitGuardian:
Increased security data ingested by 2.5× and reduced investigation time from days to minutes (some alerts resolved in 5–10 minutes).
Docker:
Cut false-positive alerts by 85% while 3×ing ingestion (case study title).
Tealium:
Achieved a 9× increase in data ingestion after switching SIEMs.
Cockroach Labs:
Scaled ingestion 5× and cut SecOps costs by $200K+ (case study title) and described managing detections as code instead of “click-ops.”
Bitstamp:
Reported detection deployment moving from “hours and hours” of engineering time to seconds.
(These are publicly available case studies on panther.com.)
Third-Party Reviews
G2 highlights
Overall Satisfaction: 4.7 out of 5 — G2 (Compared to Splunk: 4.3, Datadog: 4.4 on G2)
Themes users commonly cite:
Excellent customer support and smooth onboarding
Ease of use and intuitive UI
High detection efficiency
Flexibility and strong workflows/integrations
Fast product iteration and responsiveness to feedback
Review excerpts (G2)
“The Panther team provides excellent support, which made implementation and ongoing use much smoother than other SIEMs we’ve used.”
“Panther is intuitive and easy to use. Compared to legacy SIEMs, onboarding and day-to-day workflows are significantly simpler.”
“Detection quality is strong, and the flexibility to adapt detections over time makes a big difference for our security operations.”
Security Compliance and Trust
Panther lists the following commitments:
SOC2 (Type2) compliant (Security, Confidentiality, Availability)
PCI compliant
ISO27001 certified
Single-tenant deployments (customer data isolated in dedicated instances)
99.9% uptime (SLA-backed)
Serverless architecture (scales instantly; zero administration)
Content and Thought Leadership
Panther publishes practitioner-focused content on detection engineering, modern security operations, threat research, and cloud-scale security monitoring, including:
Detection at Scale newsletter (Substack)
Detection at Scale podcast
Panther blog, webinars, and technical resources
Limitations
Panther is a SIEM/security monitoring platform; it is not an endpoint agent/EDR replacement.
Panther is intended for security teams and technical practitioners (detection engineering, investigations, response), not consumer use.
