Fluency® is a pioneer in security automation, orchestration, response and audit technology (SAO/SOAR). Fluency delivers unmatched speed through Fluency's database Alladin, which is 50 TIMES faster than Elastic. Fluency’s patented technology unites Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) with the ability to retain and organize data to meet regulations and support investigations in sub-seconds – not minutes or hours.

2. You Need a New Approach
Security operations are plagued with bad results. In fact, the industry is getting worse at detecting attacks. At the heart of
the problem are Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) systems. They have become bloated, unfocused, and
unscalable.
Fluency®
is focused on three simple requirements that allow organizations to scale to larger information loads, while
leveraging deployed security products to their fullest: Capacity, Correlation and Retention.
Capacity
Gartner’s SIEM Magic Quadrant states three principal factors: the number of event sources; the number
of sustained events collected per second; and the size of the event data store. Fluency has demonstrated
for a large government organization the ability to process over 500,000 events per second (EPS) while
handling 8 to 12 billion events a day. Today, Fluency offers the ability to search petabytes of data in
seconds.
Fluency far exceeds other databases used in log management. Testing shows Fluency was 50 times
faster than Elastic and five times more than Vertica. Unlike these databases, Fluency was developed
exclusively for log management in the cloud. The result is a scalable solution for collecting, processing,
and retrieving data.
Fusion
Fluency’s patented technology correlates incoming data in real time. This means that time-sensitive
correlations, such as the associated device is immutably recorded to the event. More than 200 days
later, when the breach is determined, a Fluency record shows these attributes even though they are
dynamically assigned.
Fluency’s processing window allows for third-party interfaces to be queried and results added to the
record. This means information such as known indications of compromise, geo-IP, and antivirus analysis
can be added to a correlated record.
Retention
Fluency delivers the strongest data retention capabilities in the industry. The Fluency Enterprise solution
delivers 90-days hot and full-year cold storage by default. Fluency’s design minimizes cost and long-term
storage/search. It also delivers data retention in a cost-effective manner that does not compromise
speed or flexibility. Data is stored in a schema-less data structure that is fully indexed.

3. Fluency®
RiskScore
Fluency RiskScore is a scoring process that
prioritizes events based on the supporting facts and
statistics. It mimics the human process of looking
for supporting information to determine which
events are most likely to be correct in detecting
unwanted activity.
RiskScore performs set theory on each event
as it enters the system. It groups these sets in a
hierarchy of a communication source, and subsets
of destination couplings. Scoring in a coupling
gives stronger weight to unique information and
information related to the malicious activity. This
means RiskScore gives priority to groups of events
– not a single event.

and automated response.

“The big difference we see with Fluency is that the people in our SOC don’t need to go searching for as
much data because Fluency provides much of it all in one place. And that’s significant for us because it
translates into far greater visibility that dramatically increases efficiency.”
-Fran Moniz, Network Security Architect, American National Insurance Company
