Observability for CISOs

Detect Infrastructure Threats in Real-Time, Not Hours Later

Netdata delivers per-second infrastructure observability with ML-based anomaly detection on every metric. Catch resource-based attacks, crypto mining, and anomalies instantly - while reducing MTTR by 80% and costs by 90% compared to traditional SIEMs.

Background Hero

Security Operations Excellence Through Infrastructure Intelligence

Purpose-built for security-conscious operations teams

Instant Threat Detection

Per-second ML anomaly detection catches resource-based attacks, crypto mining, and DoS attempts invisible to minute-level monitoring - with 80% faster MTTR.

Complete Data Sovereignty

All observability data stays on-premises. SOC 2 Type 2 certified with tamper-evident audit logs. GDPR, CCPA, PCI DSS, and HIPAA compliant by design.

Root Cause in Seconds

Anomaly Advisor correlates thousands of metrics to surface the top 30-50 relevant signals, revealing cascading failures and blast radius automatically.

90% Cost Reduction

Per-node pricing with unlimited metrics and logs. No surprise bills from data volume spikes. Predictable costs that scale linearly with infrastructure.

Zero Learning Curve

No query languages, no dashboard building, no specialized training. Junior engineers operate at senior-level effectiveness from day one with AI assistance.

Console Replacement

Browser-based access to all system diagnostics with history and ML. Same per-second precision as SSH tools - without infrastructure access requirements.

Trusted by security-conscious organizations worldwide

Transform Security Operations with Infrastructure Intelligence

See Every Infrastructure Anomaly as It Happens

Traditional monitoring samples data every 10-60 seconds, missing 90% of transient attacks. Netdata’s per-second collection with 18 ML models per metric detects crypto mining, resource abuse, and DoS attempts in real-time - with theoretical 10^-36 false positive rate through ensemble consensus.

80% MTTR Reduction
