National Security and Cyber

National security and cyber
Connect everything. Keep everything. Query all of it.
Threats move across identities, infrastructure, networks and money. Black Forest holds all of it as one connected, time aware picture, keeps years of history queryable and lets analytics run over data that stays encrypted.

Years, not days
Retain full fidelity history and still query it in seconds.
Up to 90%
Less compute, OPEX and energy than cluster based platforms.
Encrypted
Search and analytics over fully encrypted data, keys never held by the data layer.
The compromise nobody admits to
Every security operation makes the same trade. Retention is cut because hot storage is expensive. Sources are dropped because ingest licensing is charged by volume. Correlation windows are narrowed because the queries take too long. Each decision is rational, and together they mean the evidence needed to spot a long running campaign was deleted months before anyone went looking.
Adversaries know this. Dwell time is measured in months, and slow moving activity is deliberately designed to fall outside the window you can afford to keep.

Cyber operations
Real time detection and deep historical investigation from the same data, in the same engine, without moving anything between tiers.
Detection
Correlate as it arrives
Logs, alerts, identities, endpoint and network telemetry indexed on arrival and correlated together rather than in separate tools.
Parallel ingest means volume spikes do not queue behind a single entry point, so detection does not degrade under load.
Threat hunting
Hunt across years, not weeks
Ask a question of the whole history and get an answer in seconds, because query cost follows the answers returned rather than the volume stored.
Test a hypothesis against every source at once instead of running it tool by tool.
Incident response
Reconstruct the whole picture
Follow an indicator through infrastructure, identities, devices and sessions to establish what happened and how far it reached.
Timeline, graph and geospatial views come from one index, so the account of events is consistent.
Attribution
Link campaigns over time
Connect malware, infrastructure, tooling and behaviour across incidents that were previously handled as separate cases.
Shared infrastructure and repeated tradecraft become visible once the history is all in one place.
Insider risk
Behaviour, access and association
Correlate personnel, access and activity data over long periods, where the signal is a pattern rather than an event.
Fine grained access control inside the engine, so sensitive investigations stay compartmented.
AI and automation
Context worth giving a model
Selective, connected context for detection models and agentic workflows, rather than bulk retrieval of everything vaguely related.
Provenance preserved, so an automated conclusion can be traced back to the evidence behind it.
Black Forest Reaper
Real time observability at any scale
Imagine your network: millions of computers generating trillions of cyber events each day. The question is not whether you can collect them. It is how you organise all of that so cyber defenders have real time observability while they are still able to act.
Black Forest Reaper is built for exactly that. It ingests and organises very high velocity cyber events and makes them immediately queryable, giving real time observability across trillions of daily events alongside forensic analytics over petabytes of history stretching back years.
Threat hunters get to work with awareness across the whole estate and the whole timeline, rather than whichever slice was affordable to keep in a hot tier.

Cybersecurity time series graph showing hosts, events and relationships over time
A time series graph for cyber
Picture four hosts, each with its own timeline of events. Capturing every type of event for a machine, along with every relationship it has with other machines, is what makes the difference. All of it lives in one place, so nobody has to ask three repositories for three different views of the same computer and then reconcile them by hand.
Traditionally the volume of cyber data has been so great that keeping all of it and still querying it to performance targets was impossible. Something always gave: the retention, the sources, or the speed. Black Forest Reaper stores all of it on hyperscale storage and still returns answers rapidly, which is what makes real time observability across very large networks affordable rather than theoretical.
National security
Hostile activity is deliberately spread across domains and organisations so that no single holding reveals it. The answer is not more collection, it is the ability to hold what you already have as one connected picture.
Hybrid threats
Across cyber, finance and influence
Correlate activity that spans cyber operations, financial channels, criminal networks and information activity in a single query.
Detect coordinated pressure on critical national infrastructure that looks unremarkable in any one dataset.
Networks and enablers
Find who is behind it
Traverse relationships between people, organisations, jurisdictions and ownership structures to expose facilitators several layers back.
Track how a network reshapes over time rather than seeing a single snapshot.
Cross agency working
Share results, not holdings
Partners can store data locally and discover globally, sharing only releasable results without handing over raw material.
Supports working across classifications and caveats through zero trust access controls.
Security that survives contact with the data layer
Most platforms protect data at rest and in transit, then decrypt it to work with it. High Performance Searchable Encryption lets data be encrypted at the application layer and then searched and analysed inside the database, without the data layer ever holding the keys.
Access control is enforced inside the engine rather than bolted on above it, the foundation is zero trust and memory safe, and deployment can be on premises, at the edge, in a sovereign cloud or in a classified environment. Customers keep ownership of their data, formats, ontologies and access policies.
