Detection is about **immediacy**—identifying threats while they are still unfolding, when response still matters and context hasn't gone cold.

## the right detection model for the right moment

### In-Stream Detection  
Regain control over where data lands, how it's shaped, and what it costs—before a single byte hits storage or analytics.

### Historical Detection  
Low-and-slow analysis, retroactive detection, investigations, and hypothesis testing against stored data. Find what others missed.

### DECOUPLED Detection  
Execute analytics where data already lives—without forcing wholesale ingestion. Detection logic goes to the data, not the other way around.

> **Detection is no longer bound to storage. It is a capability that can be composed, scaled, and evolved independently.**

The shift is subtle but important. Modern security operations rely on multiple detection models, each optimized for a different purpose and time horizon. In a composable SIEM, detection logic is portable—it can be pushed into the data stream, executed against historical stores, or federated across external systems.

### portable detection logic
Push detection into the data stream, execute against historical stores, or federate across external systems—without rewriting rules.

### Decoupled from Storage
Detection doesn't require that all data be centralized, indexed, or treated equally. It needs reliable, consistent data—wherever it lives.

### Outcomes Over Ingestion
Prioritize signal quality, detection coverage, and response speed—not the volume of data being collected and indexed.

### Independently Scalable
Scale detection independently from collection and retention. Add new engines, new models, new logic—without re-architecting the stack.

> “Our old model was 'log everything and sort it out later.' That worked until storage costs and performance caught up to us. We needed a smarter, simpler way to move data.”

> “This isn’t just another tool — it’s a true force multiplier. Abstract has helped us rethink how we approach security operations, allowing us to be proactive rather than reactive.”
