With a focus on AI‑powered automation of detection‑as‑code, SOC users can implement high‑efficacy detection and hunting techniques without writing a line of code or manually wrangling data. We raised $45 M Series C in April 2024 and are backed by top‑tier VC firms and prominent industry executives. Anvilogic’s AI‑powered Multi‑Data Platform SIEM is used by many of the industry’s most advanced security teams. Job Description
