Why Shieldlix?

The security platform built for modern teams

Shieldlix is a next-generation SIEM and SOAR platform designed from the ground up to solve the fundamental problems security teams face today: data volume, cost, and complexity. Traditional SIEMs were built for a world where logs were scarce and threats were simple. That world no longer exists. Modern organizations generate petabytes of log data every day from cloud workloads, endpoints, network devices, containers, and SaaS applications. Shieldlix handles this scale natively, processing millions of events per second on commodity hardware, with transparent pricing and no hidden costs.

Unmatched Speed

Rust-powered engine processes millions of events per second. Search petabytes of data in sub-second time without the overhead of traditional SIEMs.

Fair Pricing

No per-GB licensing, no hidden fees, no data taxes. Enterprise-grade SIEM and SOAR with a generous free tier for every team.

Unified Platform

Combined SIEM and SOAR in a single platform. Eliminate tool sprawl, reduce complexity, and respond to threats from one interface.

Powered by a World-Class Engine

Scalable Architecture

From startup to global enterprise. We scale with you.

24/7 Support

Our security experts are available when you need us.

Open & Extensible

Extensible APIs and open architecture for your security stack.

Data Sovereignty

Your data stays yours. We respect your privacy and compliance.

Easy Integration

Integrates with your existing tools and workflows.

Why Rust?

Performance that matters in security

10x
Faster search than Elastic
0
Garbage collection pauses
50%
Less memory usage vs Java

We chose Rust as the foundation for Shieldlix because security is a performance-critical domain. Every millisecond of latency in log search or alert correlation can mean the difference between stopping a breach and missing it entirely. Rust gives us the performance of C++ with memory safety guarantees that eliminate entire classes of vulnerabilities. Rust's zero-cost abstractions, fearless concurrency, and lack of garbage collection mean our query engine runs at near-hardware speeds.

The result is a SIEM that searches petabytes of log data in sub-second time, correlates events in real time, and scales horizontally without the operational overhead of traditional platforms.

Why Faster Than Elastic?

All core SIEM features included

Elastic Security is a capable platform, but its architecture was designed for general-purpose search, not security-specific workloads. Shieldlix is built from the ground up as a security platform, with optimizations that Elastic simply cannot match without a complete rewrite.

Our Rust-powered query engine achieves 10x faster search performance compared to Elasticsearch on identical hardware. We achieve this through custom indexing structures optimized for security data, SIMD-optimized query execution, and a columnar storage format that minimizes I/O for security workloads.

But speed isn't the only advantage. Shieldlix is 10x cheaperthan Elastic's paid tiers, with a truly free tier that includes all core SIEM features.

SIEM vs SOAR

Understanding the difference

SIEM

  • Collects and normalizes log data from any source
  • Real-time correlation rules and alerting engine
  • Threat detection with behavioral analytics
  • Compliance reporting and audit trails
  • Forensic investigation with full historical search
vs

SOAR

  • Automates incident response workflows and actions
  • Orchestrates security tools into coordinated playbooks
  • Manages case tracking and incident lifecycle
  • Enriches alerts with threat intelligence data
  • Reduces MTTR with automated containment and remediation

Shieldlix combines both SIEM and SOAR in a single unified platform. In practice, SIEM tells you what happened and SOAR helps you respond to it.

Frequently asked questions

What is Shieldlix and how does it work?
Shieldlix is a unified SIEM and SOAR platform that collects, normalizes, and analyzes security log data from any source. Our Rust-powered engine processes millions of events per second, correlating them in real time to detect threats and automate incident response.
Is Shieldlix really free?
Yes. Shieldlix offers a generous free tier that includes all core SIEM and SOAR features with no time limits, no credit card required, and no hidden fees. Paid plans add advanced features like longer data retention, premium support, and dedicated infrastructure.
How does Shieldlix compare to Splunk?
Shieldlix is 10x faster and 10x cheaper than Splunk. While Splunk uses a per-GB licensing model that becomes prohibitively expensive at scale, Shieldlix offers transparent, predictable pricing. Our Rust engine also delivers significantly faster search performance.
What log sources does Shieldlix support?
Shieldlix supports 40+ log sources including Windows Event Log, Linux Syslog, AWS CloudTrail, Azure Monitor, GCP Audit, Suricata, Zeek, Sysmon, Docker, Kubernetes, and many more. Custom integrations are possible via our HTTP API.
Can I self-host Shieldlix?
Yes. Shieldlix supports both cloud (SaaS) and self-hosted deployment models. Self-hosted deployments use Docker or Kubernetes and give you full control over your data and infrastructure.
How does Shieldlix handle data privacy and compliance?
Shieldlix is SOC 2 ready with built-in encryption at rest and in transit, RBAC, audit logging, and data residency controls. Self-hosted deployments ensure your data never leaves your infrastructure.
Does Shieldlix support MITRE ATT&CK mapping?
Yes. All Shieldlix detection rules are mapped to MITRE ATT&CK tactics and techniques, making it easy to understand coverage, identify gaps, and generate compliance reports.
