The company transcending next-gen SIEM solutions takes home a win in the "Pioneering Cybersecurity Startup" category

SAN FRANCISCO, May 6, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Abstract Security, crafted by category creators who have consistently redefined the cybersecurity landscape, today announced that it has been recognized as a winner of the Global Infosec Awards in the "Pioneering Cybersecurity Startup" category. Presented by Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), the industry's leading electronic information security magazine, this award is part of its 12th annual awards program and validates Abstract's mission to build the complete data platform for security, and radically transform the industry.

"Today, security analytics is a complex patchwork of products that don't deliver true business value," said Colby DeRodeff, co-founder and CEO of Abstract Security. "At Abstract, we're on a mission to surpass the mistakes of next-gen SIEM solutions with a product that focuses on data sources and delivers effective detection of threats. Just a few months after emerging from stealth, we're honored to receive such prestigious industry recognition and see this win as affirmation of our team's commitment to meet market needs."

"Abstract Security embodies three major features we judges look for to become winners: understanding tomorrow's threats, today, providing a cost-effective solution, and innovating in unexpected ways that can help mitigate cyber risk and get one step ahead of the next breach," said Gary S. Miliefsky, Publisher of Cyber Defense Magazine.

Abstract Security is attending RSA 2024, May 6-9! Meet with the founding team and learn about how Abstract will fundamentally shift the way security teams work with ETL's, detection rules, and data sources.
