Security data lake platform for threat detection via S3-native log indexing.

Checked November 2026.

## What is Scanner?

Scanner is a security data platform that indexes and analyzes security logs directly from Amazon S3, where the data already resides, rather than requiring ingestion into a separate storage system. It is designed as an alternative to traditional SIEMs and data lakes, addressing common pain points such as high ingestion costs, slow query performance, and vendor lock-in.

Key characteristics:

- Data remains in the customer's own cloud environment (S3), with no data movement to a vendor-controlled system
- Supports continuous detection runs against the full stream of incoming security data
- Enables historical search across years of log data in seconds
- API-first architecture allows programmatic access to all queries and datasets, supporting custom workflows and integrations with existing security tooling
- Native Model Context Protocol (MCP) support provides structured access to security data for AI agents and intelligence tools
- Designed for AI workloads, enabling large-scale investigations that would otherwise be too slow or costly in traditional SIEMs

Compliance and security posture:
- SOC 2 Type II certified
- GDPR compliant
- Data residency options available

The platform is used by companies across fintech, healthtech, and SaaS sectors. It is positioned as a security data lake solution with real-time detection capabilities, intended for security teams that require high data volume handling without the cost and operational overhead of conventional SIEMs.
