AI-powered attacks compress response windows

Adversaries now automate reconnaissance, exploitation, and lateral movement. Detection windows that once lasted hours now last seconds. Security platforms must process and correlate signals continuously to prevent impact rather than analyze aftermath.

Telemetry growth outpaces traditional systems

Endpoints, cloud workloads, APIs, identity systems, and networks generate billions of daily events. As telemetry volume accelerates, fragmented pipelines and batch analytics introduce blind spots, delayed detection, and escalating infrastructure complexity.

Convergence of security and operational data

Security, observability, and platform engineering teams increasingly rely on shared telemetry. Separate systems for logs, metrics, traces, and security events create duplicated data and inconsistent context, slowing investigation and remediation.

Why traditional architectures break under real-time security requirements and what's needed

Data movement delays detection

Security pipelines that shuttle events between ingestion layers, search engines, warehouses, and AI stores introduce critical latency during active incidents.

What’s needed: 

A unified platform where ingestion, analytics, and AI operate on the same live dataset without cross-system transfers.


Fragmented context weakens correlation

Separate stores for logs, identities, network events, and behavioral data prevent full-spectrum analysis of threats.

What’s needed:

A single database capable of querying structured data, semi-structured data, time-series, and vector embeddings together in one correlated view.


Scale breaks under peak incidents

Major attacks trigger query storms from analysts, automated workflows, dashboards, and APIs. Systems optimized for limited concurrency degrade under pressure.

What’s needed: 

Horizontal scalability with consistent performance across thousands of concurrent human and machine-driven queries.


Weak consistency risks audit gaps

Security platforms require precise, tamper-resistant records of events, alerts, and remediation actions. Systems that trade correctness for speed undermine compliance and trust.

What’s needed:

ACID-compliant transactional guarantees ensuring every event and action is accurately recorded, durable, and auditable.


AI pipelines rely on stale copies

Security AI initiatives often depend on duplicated data or offline feature stores, limiting freshness and increasing governance risk.

What’s needed:

An AI-ready database where models and agents reason directly on governed, real-time security telemetry.


The performance engine for real-time cybersecurity

Unified engine for security operations and analytics

SingleStore's HTAP database powers both high-velocity event ingestion and complex investigative queries in one system, eliminating delays between detection and insight.

Real-time ingest at massive telemetry scale

Security events stream in continuously and become queryable in milliseconds, enabling immediate correlation and response.

High concurrency under attack conditions

Thousands of simultaneous analyst queries, API calls, dashboards, and AI agents run without performance degradation, even during major incidents.

ACID compliance for security-grade reliability

Full transactional integrity ensures alerts, events, and automated actions are consistent, durable, and compliant.

AI-ready for next-generation cyber defense

Native support for relational and vector search enables anomaly detection, behavioral analytics, and agent-driven investigations directly on live data.

What you can build on SingleStore

Cloud & SaaS security telemetry

Cloud & SaaS security telemetry

Cloud-native security platforms ingest unpredictable, bursty telemetry from distributed environments. High scalability and concurrency ensure performance remains consistent as customer bases and event volumes grow.

Behavioral analytics & insider threat detection

Behavioral analytics & insider threat detection

User and entity behavior analytics require live context across sessions, devices, and identities. Real-time intelligence enables platforms to surface meaningful anomalies instantly while reducing false positives through richer correlation.

Automated incident response

Automated incident response

When incidents occur, speed determines impact. A unified data foundation enables automated playbooks and AI agents to access full investigative context immediately, accelerating containment and reducing manual triage workload.

Unified SIEM & XDR Platforms

Unified SIEM & XDR Platforms

Modern SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and XDR (Extended Detection and Response) vendors must correlate signals across endpoints, networks, cloud, and identity in real time. By unifying ingestion and analytics, platforms continuously update detection models and investigative views without relying on batch pipelines or duplicate storage layers.

AI-powered investigation assistants

AI-powered investigation assistants

Security copilots and AI assistants must reason over live alerts, raw telemetry, and historical investigations simultaneously. Unified real-time access to relational and vector data enables accurate, context-aware guidance for analysts.

Real world outcomes

Orca Security

Unlocks millisecond-level analytics with SingleStore

Orca Security (agentless cloud security) hit scalability, consistency, and SLA issues as enterprise data volumes grew. Their prior approach used multiple small Postgres instances plus Elasticsearch, which required constant syncing and introduced latency and reliability problems. Orca chose SingleStore to consolidate systems and enable millisecond-level analytics for cloud security insights.

Key outcomes

  • Replaced Postgres + Elasticsearch with a single SingleStore instance

  • Orca’s original schema had 1,000+ tables; redesigned to tens of tables with 1,000+ columns and JSON fields

  • Enabled millisecond-level analytics for faster threat detection

  • Simplified architecture and reduced ongoing maintenance requirements

  • Delivered a real-time, SaaS-based multi-tenant analytics platform with self-service analytics

“The combination of Twingo’s expertise and SingleStore’s cutting-edge capabilities empowered us to reach every one of our goals” - Raphael Sasson, Senior Data Architect

Imperva by Thales

P95 queries under 400ms on 40TB

Imperva (now part of Thales, as of December 2023) needed a cloud-native statistical engine that could scale globally, deliver sub-second performance for dashboards and billing, and reduce downtime from manual operational dependencies. After evaluating alternatives in a POC, they selected SingleStore with Twingo to meet near-real-time ingestion needs and support very high concurrent, customer-facing transactions.

Key outcomes

  • 95% of queries under 400ms across 40TB of data

  • Expanded from 1 region to 4 for global compliance needs

  • Expanded units from 6 to 30

  • Adding a new metric reduced from two weeks to 30 minutes

  • Improved stability via more automated management, reducing manual intervention and downtime

“SingleStore has proven to be the right solution for us - scalable, flexible, and reliable, consistently delivering over time.” - Elad Tamary, Principal Engineer, Imperva by Thales

Armis

Saves 70% on data pipeline cost at massive scale

Armis helps enterprises discover and secure managed, unmanaged, and IoT devices, running a real-time platform for device detail and behavioral insights. In their largest environments, Armis needed to ingest and analyze huge volumes while improving performance versus Elasticsearch and reducing pipeline cost. They moved their largest dataset from Elasticsearch to SingleStore and moved analytical workloads from PostgreSQL to SingleStore.

Key metrics / outcomes (from source)

  • 70% cost reduction in data pipeline cost

  • 100 billion events/day

  • 1.2 billion sessions/day

  • ~1 million rows/second loading complex data

  • 30TB datasets in largest customer environments

  • Performance: queries that timed out under Elasticsearch now run <10 seconds, some <1.5 seconds

We simplified our pipeline with SingleStore, and things work much better than they did with ElasticSearch.” - Roy Franco, Data Infrastructure Team Leader, Armis
