The integration of Databricks’ Data Intelligence platform accelerates Aurora’s growth, the largest open security operations platform in the industry.
Arctic Wolf, one of the world’s leading cybersecurity operations companies, announced a strategic partnership with Databricks to elevate its Aurora platform to unprecedented levels. Through this integration, the company now processes over 8 trillion security observations per week and more than 300 petabytes of data annually, establishing its Security Operations Center (SOC) as one of the most advanced and powerful globally.
Aurora + Databricks: a future-ready cybersecurity architecture
Built on an open, native cloud XDR architecture, Aurora is designed to tackle one of cybersecurity’s biggest challenges today: managing data at scale. As organizations incorporate more protection tools and migrate workloads to the cloud, telemetry grows exponentially, making rapid threat detection more difficult and alert fatigue worse.
With Databricks’ Data Intelligence Platform, Arctic Wolf can now unify and process telemetry from endpoints, cloud applications, identity systems, and firewalls in a high-performance environment. This results in significant improvements in incident response speed and accuracy.
“Operating cybersecurity at scale requires a data architecture optimized for performance, agility, and real-time visibility,” explained Omar Khawaja, Databricks Field CISO. “This partnership allows Arctic Wolf to fully leverage its massive data volumes and make smarter, faster decisions from its global SOC.”
Predictive AI with human expertise
The platform also enhances Alpha AI, Arctic Wolf’s suite of generative and predictive artificial intelligence technologies. Trained on over 10 million hours of real human experience in security operations centers, this suite can automate threat prioritization, reduce alert overload, and speed up investigations.
“In modern cybersecurity, data is the new battleground,” said Dan Schiappa, Arctic Wolf President of Technology and Services. “Our collaboration with Databricks enables us to turn complexity into clear, scalable results for our more than 10,000 clients worldwide.”
Security from the data lakehouse
Thanks to Databricks’ lakehouse architecture, Aurora ensures that all security data is governed, protected, and compliant with enterprise-grade security standards. This not only improves real-time threat detection but also paves the way for new AI-driven analytics capabilities and open integrations with third-party tools.
An open, extensible model to eliminate cyber risk
Arctic Wolf’s vision is clear: eliminate cyber risk through an accessible, automated, and scalable security operations approach. With this enhancement of its AI-based infrastructure, the company strengthens its position as a global leader in managed detection, response, awareness, and risk management services.
