What We Do

Panther Labs was founded by a team of security practitioners who faced the challenges of security operations at scale and set out to build a platform to solve them. The result was Panther, a refreshingly practical platform for threat detection and response powered by a highly scalable security data lake and detection-as-code. Panther gives security teams the power to detect any breach, anywhere and is trusted by customers like Snowflake, Dropbox, Figma, Coinbase, and more.

Why Work With Us

Traditional SIEM platforms have not kept pace with the demands of today’s cloud workloads, resulting in poor performance, exorbitant licensing costs and heavy operational burdens on security teams. Panther was founded by a team of veteran security practitioners who experienced these challenges first-hand and built a platform to solve them.
