Apache Spot at a Glance

Apache Spot is a community-driven cybersecurity project, built from the ground up, to bring advanced analytics to all IT Telemetry data on an open, scalable platform. It is an open source software for leveraging insights from flow and packet analysis. Spot expedites threat detection, investigation, and remediation via machine learning and consolidates all enterprise security data into a comprehensive IT telemetry hub based on open data models. Spot’s scalability and machine learning capabilities support an ecosystem of ML-based applications that can run simultaneously on a single, shared, enriched data set to provide organizations with maximum analytic flexibility.

Apache Spot helps enterprises and service providers gain insight on their computed environments through transparency of service delivery and identification of potential security threats or attacks happening among resources operating at cloud scale. While current threat intelligence tools help, identifying unknown threats and attacks remains a challenge. Spot harnesses a diverse community of expertise from Centrify, Cloudera, Cybraics, Endgame, Intel, Jask, Streamsets, and Webroot. Apache Spot provides tools to accelerate companies’ ability to expose suspicious connections and previously unseen attacks using flow and packet analysis technologies.
