Why legacy SIEMs lose
The 90-day question
“Show me every login for this user across the last 90 days.”
When looking costs nothing, your analysts look at everything. That's the entire difference between a SIEM that stores logs and a SOC that catches attacks.
*Illustrative of disk-based SIEMs querying beyond their indexed window — where searches queue, tier-restore, or time out. kymeer figure: typical filtered query over the instant-search window on production-representative data. New teams get a live head-to-head on their own logs during onboarding.
The platform
Everything a modern SOC runs on — in one platform
Not features bolted onto a log store. kymeer was designed around the AI analyst from day one — here is the platform, module by module, exactly as your analysts see it.
A teammate, not a chatbot
The kymeer analyst investigates like your best hire: it reads the enriched evidence, forms a cited verdict, and shows its work. Attacks your rules missed come back as drafted detection rules, already backtested against your own data.
- Ask anything, in your language — investigation is a conversation.
- Every verdict cites its evidence; uncited claims are rejected by the platform itself.
- Proposed rules arrive with measured precision. You click approve — or don't.
Behavior analytics on a living graph
kymeer doesn't baseline users in isolation — it baselines the relationships. Every user, host, service and destination lives on one entity graph, so "unusual" means unusual for that node, in that neighborhood.
- First-seen edges light up: a service account touching a database it has never spoken to.
- Prevalence-aware: rare-for-you vs rare-for-everyone are different verdicts.
- Pivot any node into everything it touched — one click, full history.
The analyst that never sleeps, never pages
While detections watch for known patterns, the Passive Auditor quietly clusters weak signals across days and entities into attack-path cases — the low-and-slow campaigns that never trip a single rule.
- Cases written in plain English: what happened, to whom, in what order.
- MITRE ATT&CK techniques, entities and evidence attached to every step.
- Risk ≥ threshold auto-promotes to an incident. Below it, it waits and watches.
Every incident is a story, told forensically
Open any incident and read it the way a DFIR report reads: a chronological narrative across the kill chain, every step pinned to raw evidence. When the regulator or the board asks “what exactly happened?”, the answer is already written.
- Kill-chain phases reconstructed automatically from correlated events.
- Export the storyline as your incident report — regulator breach-notification ready, whichever region you're in.
- Root cause, blast radius, and containment status in one view.
Ticketing that lives where the evidence lives
No Jira project, no ServiceNow queue, no swivel-chair. Cases are native: SLAs, assignments, approvals and the full working timeline sit next to the evidence, so context never gets lost in a copy-paste.
- SLA clocks per severity; breach warnings before they happen.
- Every action, comment and verdict lands in the immutable audit log.
- For MSSPs: per-tenant queues with one cross-tenant cockpit.
Your coverage map is not a spreadsheet
Every detection, every Auditor case, every AI-proposed rule is mapped to ATT&CK. The matrix is live: green where you're covered, glowing where techniques fired this week, honest grey where you're blind — and the AI proposes rules for exactly those gaps.
- Coverage, firing frequency and gaps in one heat map.
- Click a technique → every rule, event and incident behind it.
- Gap-to-rule loop: blind spots become backtested proposals automatically.
The factory floor and the data center, finally in one place
Most SIEMs were built for IT and treat OT as an afterthought. kymeer normalizes both into the same open schema and baselines them with the same graph — a PLC talking to a new host is judged with exactly the rigor of a server doing it. No source is a second-class citizen.
- OT protocols and telemetry via the all-purpose collector — no agents on controllers.
- Cross-domain correlation: an IT phish that becomes an OT reach is one storyline.
- Zone-aware baselines: the plant network vs the office network.
Reporting is a sentence, not a project
Describe the report you owe someone — the board, a regulator, a client, an auditor — and kymeer assembles it from live data: charts, tables, incident summaries, coverage numbers. Grounded in your events, cited like everything else.
- “Quarterly security posture for the board, non-technical, 6 pages” — done.
- Save any prompt as a scheduled report; it re-runs itself monthly.
- Compliance templates included: DPDP, GDPR, RBI, SEBI, CERT-In, ISO evidence.
The honest comparison
How kymeer wins against legacy SIEMs
If you run — or resell — FortiSIEM, Splunk, QRadar or a similar platform today, this is the scorecard to bring to the demo.
| Capability | kymeer | Typical legacy SIEM |
|---|---|---|
| Search across 90 days | Sub-second, typical — all-flash, every field indexed | Minutes; scheduled searches, tier restores, timeouts |
| Alert triage | 100% of alerts AI-assessed with cited evidence before a human reads them | Raw alert queue; triage is manual analyst time |
| Detection engineering | Missed attacks come back as backtested, review-ready rules; Sigma import built in | Hand-written rules; content gaps stay invisible |
| Noise | Correlation-first: a failure pattern that succeeds pages someone — failures alone don't | Threshold alerts; thousands of low-value pages |
| Retention | 12 months stays hot — the full window is searchable at the same sub-second speed as today | Older data tiers to cold storage; searching it means a restore and a wait |
| Capability access | Every capability on day one — UEBA, OT, automation, reporting, case management | Capabilities gated behind separate modules and SKUs |
| Data residency | Deployed in-region on Google Cloud, anywhere in the world; storage and processing never leave that region; compliance workflows (DPDP, GDPR and more) built in | Region depends on vendor cloud; residency often an add-on |
| New-region deployment | A dedicated in-region instance live in minutes on Google Cloud — onboard a client from any country | New region means new procurement and infrastructure — weeks to months |
| OT coverage | First-class: SCADA/PLC telemetry on the same schema and baselines as IT | IT-first; OT an afterthought or separate product |
| Onboarding a new log source | Format auto-detected per line; Parser Factory drafts and tests parsers automatically | Wait for vendor parser or build one by hand |

Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
The short version of what CISOs, SOC leads and MSSP owners ask us first.
What is kymeer?
kymeer is an AI-native SOC platform. It ingests logs from everything you run — network devices, endpoints, cloud, SaaS, identity, and OT — normalizes them to the open OCSF schema, and answers questions across months of security data in under a second. Every alert is assessed by an AI analyst before a human reads it, and kymeer deploys in-region on Google Cloud so each tenant's data is stored and processed within their chosen region.
How is kymeer different from a legacy SIEM?
Three ways. Speed: every storage tier is NVMe flash, so a query over 90 days of logs typically returns in under a second instead of minutes. Intelligence: an AI analyst assesses every alert with cited evidence, writes plain-English incident storylines, and proposes backtested detection rules for attacks your rules missed. Accuracy: correlation-first detection means a pattern that actually succeeds pages someone — and every verdict arrives with the evidence behind it, so an analyst can check the reasoning rather than trust it.
Is kymeer an alternative to FortiSIEM, Splunk, or Microsoft Sentinel?
Yes. kymeer is built as a modern replacement for legacy and cloud SIEMs, with migration support for existing detection content including Sigma rule import. Teams evaluating FortiSIEM, Splunk, QRadar, Exabeam or Microsoft Sentinel alternatives typically compare on search speed across the full retention window, the quality and auditability of AI-assisted triage, detection accuracy, and data residency — the scorecard above is a good place to start.
Where is my data stored?
kymeer is headquartered in Singapore and deploys in-region on Google Cloud, so your data is stored and processed within your chosen region — never routed through a third country. kymeer includes data-rights workflows and compliance reporting packs mapped to regional regulations such as DPDP in India and GDPR in the EU. For regulated tenants, a zero-egress AI option runs the AI analyst entirely within your region's kymeer infrastructure — no external model calls at all.
Can kymeer deploy in my region?
Yes. kymeer runs on Google Cloud, so a new regional instance can be deployed and live in minutes, not months. Wherever your data needs to stay, kymeer stands up a dedicated in-region instance there — letting you onboard a client from any country while keeping their data under local law.
What log sources and formats does kymeer support?
70+ named integrations across network and security (Fortinet, Cisco, Palo Alto, Check Point, Juniper, pfSense…), endpoints and servers (Windows, Sysmon, Linux, macOS, EDR), identity (Active Directory, Entra, Okta), cloud (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud), SaaS (Microsoft 365, Google Workspace) and OT (SCADA, Modbus/DNP3 gateways). Anything that emits Syslog, CEF, LEEF, JSON, key=value, CSV or Windows Event XML parses on arrival — and the Parser Factory automatically drafts, tests and promotes parsers for formats kymeer has never seen.
How do I buy kymeer — and can my MSSP resell it?
kymeer is sold exclusively through certified partners: MSSPs, system integrators and security resellers. kymeer never sells or delivers services directly and never competes with its channel. End users are connected to a certified partner; MSSPs and SIs can apply to the certified partner program for published margins, deal registration, white-label multi-tenancy and a free internal-use licence.
Is kymeer live? How do I get started?
Yes — kymeer is live today. Security and IT teams can start onboarding directly, with a live head-to-head demo on your own logs. MSSPs and system integrators can apply to the certified partner program for published margins and white-label multi-tenancy. Start from the onboarding portal.
