Abstract Security Launches LakeVilla for Efficient Cold Storage

In a significant stride towards transforming security data management, Abstract Security, a leader in streaming-first data operations, has announced the launch of LakeVilla. This innovative cloud-native cold storage solution is designed to cater to long-term security telemetry retention. What sets LakeVilla apart is its promise of compliance-ready, easily accessible storage at a markedly lower cost compared to traditional Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems—all while ensuring optimal performance.

CEO and Co-Founder, Colby DeRodeff, emphasized that “Security telemetry is exploding—but that doesn’t mean you should have to choose between storing it affordably and actually being able to access it when it matters.” With LakeVilla, users no longer need to make these compromises. The solution is engineered to redefine cold storage, making it efficient, quick, and integrative with existing detection and investigation workflows.

Key Features of LakeVilla

LakeVilla is not just a storage facility; it’s a sophisticated operational asset fully integrated into Abstract Security’s platform, allowing organizations to:

1. Instant Searchability Without Rehydration

One of the standout features is its ability to provide instant search functionality without the need for data rehydration. This means data remains ready for query at any moment, eliminating delays and hidden fees associated with rehydration processes.

2. Replay on Demand for Deeper Insights

Users can replay archived data through live workflows, a capability that enhances insights into potential threats that may have previously gone unnoticed. This feature empowers organizations to refine detection methodologies effectively.

3. Cost Savings at Enterprise Scale

With LakeVilla, organizations can substantially reduce storage expenses by prioritizing the storage of high-touch, frequently accessed data within analytics engines, while directing less critical data to LakeVilla for affordable and always-available retention.

4. Seamless Integration with Abstract Pipelines

LakeVilla removes redundant data ingestion steps, ensuring a smooth flow of data from real-time detection to long-term storage, enhancing operational efficiency.

5. Cloud-Native Flexibility

Designed to be vendor-neutral, LakeVilla supports major cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, and GCP, providing organizations the flexibility to choose where their data resides. This feature also facilitates hassle-free migrations and prevents vendor lock-in.

The Advantage of LakeVilla Over Traditional Solutions

Unlike conventional data lake architectures that can become bloated and sluggish, Abstract Security's LakeVilla is purpose-built for security. It's a structured and intelligent solution that not only simplifies data storage but also optimizes it for accessibility. As Stefan Zier, Chief Technology Officer at Abstract, articulated, “Data lakes are great—but LakeVilla is designed for security. It’s structured, accessible, and intelligent.”

Availability

LakeVilla is now available for all Abstract Security customers, supporting both hosted and private cloud deployments. Organizations interested in innovative and effective security data management can explore this solution further by visiting the LakeVilla blog.
