Detect and respond to threats faster, use AI, and reduce compliance breaches with the automatic Axoflow security data curation pipeline. Also reduces costs by 50% or more without coding, unless you really want to. The Axoflow Platform provides an end-to-end pipeline automating the collection, management, and ingestion of your security data in a vendor-agnostic way. The data transformation happens in the pipeline, resulting in data that is immediately actionable. No coding is needed at the destination, as it already arrives in a destination-optimized data model. Curation happens before it reaches the destination reducing data ingestion costs. The pipeline automatically identifies and classifies where the data is coming from. Enriches it with relevant context like geolocation if needed. Finally, converts it to a destination-optimized format. Remove infrastructure redundancy and consolidate data volume.
