Security News > 2020 > April > Panther Labs Launches Open-Source Cloud-Native SIEM
San Francisco-based cloud security startup Panther Labs has launched the first stable version of its open-source security information and event management solution, Panther.
Advertised as "a powerful alternative to traditional SIEMs like Splunk," Panther is self-hosted and it uses Python to analyze logs from popular security tools, and also includes support for analyzing cloud resources with policies to help discover vulnerable infrastructure and establish security best practices.
The SIEM was designed to provide small teams with the ability to detect threats at scale, Jack Naglieri, founder of Panther Labs, explains.
The solution receives security logs from clouds, networks, endpoints, and more; scans cloud infrastructure to determine security posture; saves all data to the customer's data warehouse; delivers alerts via Slack, PagerDuty, etc; and also supports applying automatic remediation.
The first stable release of Panther arrived with support for analyzing logs from AWS, OSS tools such as Osquery, OSSEC, Suricata, and the like; support for threat hunting on security data with standardized fields; and real-time cloud configuration monitoring; among other features.
