Our take
The increasing adoption of cloud platforms has made it more and more difficult for security teams to monitor all aspects of their business. Panther solves this problem with its scalable solution specifically tailored for cloud-first companies.
Panther's platform acts as an alternative to traditional SIEMs, which have failed to keep up with the shift towards cloud services. Panther was founded by security engineering experts from companies such as Airbnb and AWS. This has allowed the company to keep developers' and security teams' needs and challenges in mind. And in 2021, the company raised an impressive $120M in funding, making it a unicorn. This is a testament to Panther's growing impact in the cloud security sector.
Panther's main challenge will be competing with rival cloud security SIEMs like LogRhythm and QRadar. However, Panther's ongoing funding success, strategic partnerships and growing roster of enterprise clients (which now includes AWS and Dropbox) indicate that the company is gathering further momentum.
