Abstract Security announced the release of LakeVilla, a cloud-native cold storage solution built for long-term security telemetry retention that delivers compliance-ready, highly accessible storage at a fraction of SIEM costs-without compromising on performance or accessibility. 

“Security telemetry is exploding-but that doesn’t mean you should have to choose between storing it affordably and actually being able to access it when it matters,” said Colby DeRodeff, CEO and Co-Founder of Abstract Security. “We designed LakeVilla so you never have to compromise again. It reimagines cold storage-making it fast, cost-effective, and fully integrated into your detection and investigation workflows.”  

Fully integrated into the Abstract Security Platform, LakeVilla enables organizations to retain and replay years of security data-instantly searchable and seamlessly usable across detection, investigation, and compliance workflows. LakeVilla provides: 

  • Instant Searchability Without Rehydration: Data is always query-ready-no rehydration, no delays, no hidden fees. 
  • Replay on Demand for Deeper Insights: Replay archived data through live workflows to uncover missed threats and refine detection. 
  • Cost Savings at Enterprise Scale: Reduce storage costs by sending only frequently accessed, high-touch data to analytics engines-while routing the rest to LakeVilla for affordable, always-available retention. 
  • Seamless Integration with Abstract Pipelines: Removes redundant ingestion steps and ensures seamless data flow from real-time detection to long-term storage. 
  • Cloud-Native Flexibility and Vendor-Neutral Design: Supports AWS, Azure, and GCP cloud object storage-giving organizations the flexibility to store data where they already operate with built-in flexibility to migrate without hassle and avoid vendor lock-in.  

Why have a Lake House When You Can Have a Lake Villa! 

While data lake architectures are often bloated, costly, and slow to access, Abstract Security’s LakeVilla is different: purpose-built for security, optimized for speed, and seamlessly integrated with the tools teams already use. It’s not just a storage location-it’s an operational asset.  

“Data lakes are great-but LakeVilla is designed for security. It’s structured, accessible, and intelligent,” said Stefan Zier, Chief Technology Officer at Abstract. “We didn’t just build a place to dump logs. We built a system that lets you act on cold data-efficiently and intelligently.”  

Availability 

LakeVilla is available now for all Abstract Security customers in both hosted and private cloud deployments.
