Craxel Launches Revolutionary Black Forest Reaper™ for Large Scale Cyber Defense

NextGen Holistic Cyber Defense Platform Empowers Threat Hunters with
 Unmatched Real-Time Threat Detection and Analysis

FAIRFAX, Va., July 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Craxel, a leading-edge software company, announced the launch of their ground-breaking integrated cyber defense platform, Black Forest Reaper.

Designed to revolutionize cyber defense capabilities for the world's largest cyber threat hunting enterprises, including U.S. government federal civilian agencies, the Department of Defense, Homeland Security, and the intelligence community, Black Forest Reaper offers unparalleled speed, visibility, and price performance in combating cyber threats at scale.

Craxel Founder and CEO David Enga commented, "We are thrilled to unveil Black Forest Reaper, a game changing solution that is the future of cybersecurity for very large-scale enterprises. Our technology will arm both human and automated AI cyber threat hunters with advanced capabilities to connect the dots between observed data, threat intelligence, and vulnerability data, enabling them to extract insights at line speed and at very large scale, all with unrivaled price/performance."

A key challenge in cybersecurity is the sheer volume of data that needs to be rapidly managed and analyzed. Legacy database engines are unable to efficiently index complex data at the necessary scale, creating an "indexing bottleneck." Black Forest Reaper eliminates this bottleneck, allowing for complex data to be indexed at extremely fast rates and large scale, enabling analysts and algorithms to quickly and efficiently ingest cyber data and detect threats.

"This is a compelling technology that I encourage all cyber experts to evaluate," said Payal Vadhani, Senior Executive in Cyber Risk & Compliance, formerly with AWS, HCL Tech, and Big 4. "A powerful multi-dimensional indexing capability like this could transform the defensive cyber analytics landscape."

In addition to the features of the Black Forest platform, Black Forest Reaper includes:

• Holistic Cyber Defense: Unified cyber platform that supports the entire end-to-end workflow from cyber threat intelligence analysis, detection, and remediation.
• Ingest Data from Any Source: Robust ingest framework supports ingesting STIX, NetFlow, syslog, and DNS data and provides a pluggable framework so any data source can be rapidly integrated. End user and machine-to-machine interfaces are delivered by the pluggable UX framework and Native/SQL interfaces, respectively.
• UX Interface: Flexible UX provides out-of-the-box capability and a framework to rapidly integrate custom UX components.
• Cost Structure: Petabytes/years of data kept hot in inexpensive, hyperscale storage, such as AWS S3, instead of large clusters of servers; data is kept readily accessible for cyber defense purposes, even for attacks that are "low and slow," allowing typical queries to be performed in less than a second, without the use of any cache.

Black Forest Reaper is available to select Craxel customers for immediate deployment.
