The Problem: Post-Breach Forensics

When a breach is discovered weeks later, you need Bytefreezer.

Traditional SIEMs Are Expensive

Enterprise SIEM solutions cost $1M+ annually. Splunk charges $150/GB, Datadog has complex per-host pricing. These costs make comprehensive logging prohibitive.

Vendor Controls Your Data

Your security data lives in vendor infrastructure. You pay for retention, pay for queries, pay for exports. When you want to leave, migration is painful and expensive.

Search Requires Human Experts

Even when data is available, traditional SIEMs require specialized analysts writing complex queries. AI agents can't easily interface with proprietary query languages, leaving your data locked behind human bottlenecks.

All deployments are OSS under Elastic License 2.0. Choose how you want to run it.
