About Us

We are building the next generation of SIEM flexibility in the AI era

Anvilogic is a Palo Alto-based cybersecurity company founded by security veterans and data scientists with deep experience in enterprise-scale environments. Since 2019, we’ve been solving one of the most urgent challenges in security operations: how to scale high-fidelity detection and triage across fragmented toolsets and data—without rebuilding your stack or being trapped by legacy SIEMs.

‍

Our mission is to make advanced detection accessible to every security team, enabling them to detect across hybrid, multi-cloud, and data lake environments while keeping their data where it belongs. We meet teams where they are, with a unified, AI-native approach built for flexibility, precision, and scale.

‍

Anvilogic was created by operators who’ve lived the challenges of brittle rules, false positives, and siloed logs. An automated, scalable, and free from vendor lock-in AI first approach. This is the new age of the SOC and Anvilogic is leading the way.

The result is a scalable, cost-efficient approach to threat detection and triage, purpose-built for a rapidly changing landscape—from M&A transitions to hypergrowth and beyond. Smarter, interconnected alerts reach analysts with context, carried through the last mile.
