A Fortune 500 financial institution cut critical incidents by 90% after replacing multiple SIEMs with Anomali’s autonomous unified security data platform

REDWOOD CITY, Calif.: Anomali, creator of the leading AI-Powered Security and IT Operations Platform, today announced groundbreaking advancements to its unified platform, setting a new standard for how organizations predict, detect, investigate, and respond to cyber threats. In an era marked by alert fatigue, fragmented tools, bloated solutions, and overwhelming data, Anomali’s latest innovations deliver unmatched visibility, context, speed, and scale.

At a fraction of the cost of legacy and next-gen SIEM solutions, Anomali delivers more than a SIEM. It’s the only unified security platform that automatically integrates customer telemetry and threat intelligence (both big data challenges) inside a cloud-native AI-ready data lake purposely invented by big data and cybersecurity pioneers from the ground up to give security and IT teams an unrivaled advantage while managing threats. Anomali is also propelling the significance of CTI within a SOC to deliver high fidelity analytics that drive business outcomes.

Anomali Customer Innovation

A Fortune 500 financial institution replaced Splunk and other solutions with Anomali—and within just one year, the results have been transformative. “We’ve increased visibility nearly twentyfold—in both data volume and retention,” said the organization’s CISO. “That historical depth is a game-changer for proactive threat hunting and investigations. Integrating our entire security stack into the Anomali platform reduced critical incidents by ~90% in just one year. It’s a testament to what’s possible when solving paramount business challenges with the right technology. For the first time, our team isn’t buried in alerts—we’ve been able to refocus our talent on strategic initiatives that drive innovation, not just remediation.”

Real Business Outcomes: Faster, Smarter, Cheaper Security at Scale

• Unmatched Speed at Scale: Detection queries that once took ~100 hours now return results in under a minute. With Anomali Query Language (AQL), users run searches up to 2,000x faster than legacy SIEMs—delivering real-time insights and eliminating the delays that once slowed security and IT teams. No engineers or special training is required and anyone in the business can run searches with permissions.
• Radical Cost Efficiency: The institution cut legacy SIEM costs by ~65% annually—while already scaling to ingest ~6X terabytes of logs per day and relative to the last decade – and retaining more than seven years of searchable data at no extra cost. Anomali’s purpose-built data lake delivers elite performance at a fraction of the price. The Anomali platform does not sit on top of a big data provider – the company has built their own disruptive, powerful, and proprietary big data technology.
• Accelerated Migration, Immediate Value: Replacing a legacy or next-gen SIEM typically takes 12–18 months. Anomali completed the migration in just 12 weeks using its AI-powered migration assistant, which can automatically translate existing SPL (Splunk) and KQL (Microsoft) queries into AQL. Anomali offers a seamless path to importing use cases and operationalizing a modern, high-performance SIEM—without disruption.

In the public sector, a significantly intricate organization replaced Splunk and other solutions with Anomali and saw immediate benefits: accelerated detection, deeper visibility across the entire agency, and a 60% reduction in SIEM spend. “In just nine months with Anomali, across security and IT, we achieved what we couldn’t in four years with Splunk. We’re operating at a level we hadn’t approached before. We have already gone beyond security and IT use cases and consider Anomali our Enterprise Analytics platform,” said the CISO.

Whether large public or private sector enterprises, with Anomali, security and IT teams are achieving the speed, scale, and savings legacy platforms can’t match. Some customers begin with Anomali SIEM augmentation and others are replacing their SIEM entirely. “Anomali is disrupting the legacy SIEM market and doing it with improved outcomes while helping enterprises save significant budget dollars. Our Agentic AI is wrapped in one proprietary data lake that is highly differentiated – we look forward to revealing more at RSAC 2025.”

AI, Speed, Scale, and No Compromises

Unlike solutions that rely solely on open internet data, Anomali Copilot is powered by continuously curated threat intelligence, minimizing hallucinations and delivering precise, real-time insights. More than just generative, Copilot is agentic, engineered to understand enterprise context, autonomously operate platform capabilities, and execute actions in under a minute.

While most vendors attempt to retrofit AI onto legacy systems weighed down by technical debt and cloud limitations, the Anomali platform is built for speed, scale, and performance. This modern foundation sets a new standard in enterprise analytics, purpose-built for the demands of today and the innovations of the next decade.

“The performance and potential of AI are intrinsically tied to the capabilities of the data analytics engine that powers it,” said Wei Huang, CTO at Anomali. “To fully empower AI’s transformative capabilities, organizations must invest in a robust and intelligent data foundation.”

“Our team has always been ahead of the curve in solving the toughest cybersecurity and big data challenges with a focus on tangible business outcomes,” said Ahmed Rubaie, CEO of Anomali. “Hugh Njemanze and Wei Huang pioneered big data management in security and IT, now they have unlocked visibility at scale and made it easy to layer in context at scale from customer telemetry and external intelligence. This sequencing matters: Without visibility, you can’t see the problem. Without context, you can’t assess it. Without our Agentic AI, you can’t confidently automate and act on it.”

Disrupting the SIEM+ Market

Anomali is redefining the SIEM market with the fastest cloud-native data lake, seamlessly integrated with continuously curated threat intelligence. As the only SIEM with native threat intelligence, Anomali delivers instant context and real-time detection, giving security teams the speed they need to stay ahead of threats. Its unified platform eliminates silos between CTI and SOC teams, enabling smarter collaboration and faster response, more effectively and cost-efficiently than any legacy or next-gen solution.

Francis Odum, Software Analyst Cybersecurity Research founder and analyst, recently highlighted what makes Anomali stand out as a SIEM market disruptor. Read his blog here.
