Abstract, a company pioneering composable security operations, has closed a $25m funding round as enterprises increasingly abandon monolithic SIEM platforms in favour of architectures that hand them back control of data, AI and cost.
The round was co-led by Cheyenne Ventures and AVP, with participation from Olive Hill Ventures and follow-on backing from existing investors Crosslink Capital and Rally Ventures. It takes Abstract’s cumulative funding to nearly $50m, capping a year in which annual recurring revenue climbed 380%, net revenue retention hit 264% and the customer base tripled. The firm also added 40 strategic hires to support its enterprise expansion.
The raise comes against a backdrop of frustration with the traditional SIEM model. For years, security teams have routed all their logs into a single platform, only to see costs balloon as data volumes rose. That approach means detection only happens once information has landed in storage, ties organisations to one vendor’s stack, and effectively makes visibility a budgetary burden.
Abstract’s answer is what it calls AI-Gen Security Operations, a streaming-first platform pairing composable architecture with in-stream detection and AI embedded across the SOC workflow.
Data sources are decoupled from destinations, threats are surfaced while information is still moving rather than after it has been stored, and outbound data can be tiered and routed in the schema each destination expects, including OCSF, ECS and CIM, reducing storage bills. Its Astro AI runs throughout the SOC workflow, and the platform scales across multi-cloud and hybrid environments, allowing analysts to move faster, dig deeper into investigations and have confidence in the results.
The fresh capital will be used to broaden in-stream detection coverage, push Astro AI further across the SOC workflow, and expand the go-to-market team in response to enterprise demand.
Abstract CEO and co-founder Colby DeRodeff said, “For more than two decades, SIEM has been the foundation of security operations. AI-Gen Security Operations is what’s next. It gives organizations control over their data, runs detections while data is still in motion, and embeds AI into every stage of detection, triage, investigation, and response. We built Abstract around that vision from day one because AI isn’t a feature bolted onto the SOC. It’s woven into every layer of security operations. This investment gives us the resources to continue building a generational cybersecurity company.”
