How ClickHouse powers security analytics

Security data is among the highest-volume, longest-lived data a company produces, and it is only useful if you can query it quickly. ClickHouse Cloud is purpose-built for that: ingest continuously, store efficiently, and search fast. Security vendors and in-house security teams already build on it.

From ingest to investigation, on one engine

Built for security scale

ClickHouse scales both vertically and horizontally to meet the demands of any workload — read and write — to systems with hundreds of cores and petabytes of storage. ClickHouse provides the scalability you need to effortlessly handle increasing data volumes and workloads over time.

Retain more for less

Column-oriented storage and strong compression keep far more history in the same footprint, and compute is separate from storage. Long lookbacks for threat hunts, incident reconstruction, and audits stay practical, without moving cold data to a separate system.

Search in real time

Investigations are a race against the attacker. Standard SQL and a rich library of functions turn complex hunts into simple statements, and queries run in parallel across the full dataset, so your security team gets answers while an incident is still unfolding.

Materialized views: fast answers on hot data

Query hot data fast with materialized views pre-computing your queries as data arrives.
