Panther
What Panther is
Panther is an AI SOC platform for security teams. It ingests and normalizes security logs, detects threats, and supports alert investigation and response. Panther AI can examine alerts by querying the data lake, reviewing detection logic and alert history, and gathering context from connected tools. It can resolve noise and escalate high-confidence threats. The AI Detection Builder turns plain-language threat descriptions into Python detections, while teams can write, test, and version detection rules through CI/CD and GitHub code review.
Panther supports Snowflake or Databricks for the security data lake, with data remaining in the customer’s selected warehouse, and provides a REST API for supported entities such as alerts, users, rules, and log sources. Deployment options include managed SaaS and Cloud Connected, where the customer owns the AWS and warehouse accounts while Panther manages the platform. Listed integrations include AWS CloudTrail, Okta, GitHub, Slack, CrowdStrike, Databricks, and PagerDuty. Pricing is on request; a free trial is available.
