As organisations increasingly adopt diverse security tools and cloud applications, they face an overwhelming influx of telemetry data. This surge in volume, diversity, and speed complicates threat detection and response, potentially leaving even well-resourced teams vulnerable to critical attacks. Recognising this challenge, Arctic Wolf has committed to developing a highly scalable and high-performing cybersecurity platform.
Arctic Wolf is collaborating with Databricks to enhance its Arctic Wolf Aurora Platform, an open security operations platform. This collaboration aims to improve the platform's ability to process vast volumes of security telemetry in real-time, thereby delivering quicker and more scalable security outcomes for its global clientele.
The Aurora Platform currently ingests over eight trillion security observations weekly and processes more than 300 petabytes of data annually. By integrating the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform into its data pipeline, Arctic Wolf enhances its ability to unify telemetry from various sources, including endpoints, cloud applications, and identity systems.
This integration is expected to accelerate the evolution of the Aurora Platform, empowering Arctic Wolf’s AI-powered Security Operations Centre (SOC) to provide improved threat detection and response capabilities to its growing community of over 10,000 customers.
A key feature of the Aurora Platform is its utilisation of Alpha AI, a suite of predictive and generative AI technologies specifically designed for security operations. Drawing from over 10 million hours of real-world SOC experience accumulated over the past decade,
Alpha AI is continuously refined using one of the largest and most varied datasets in the industry. This approach helps reduce alert fatigue, speeds up investigation workflows, and allows customers to prioritise threats that are most pertinent to their environments.

“Modern cybersecurity is a data scale problem," says Dan Schiappa, president of technology and services at Arctic Wolf. ”The partnership with Databricks provides us the scalable foundation to act on one of the industry’s most diverse security datasets, enabling faster and more effective threat protection for our customers.”
Omar Khawaja, Databricks field CISO, adds, “Running security operations at scale demands a data architecture optimised for performance and real-time insights."
The integration of the Databricks platform with Arctic Wolf’s Aurora Platform aims to leverage security telemetry effectively, enhancing decision-making across one of the world’s largest commercial SOCs.
