Cut Your SIEM Bill 80–90%.
Keep All Your Data.
The pre-SIEM data lake. Sits before your SIEM. Stores everything as Parquet on your infrastructure. Forwards only what matters. No new cogs — standard formats, your existing storage.
Keep Everything
Other tools filter and drop to reduce volume. ByteFreezer stores the full dataset. When you need it six months later, it's there.
Your Infrastructure
Open source data plane. Your hardware. Your data never touches a third party. Want to disconnect entirely? Export config, run standalone. No kill switch.
No New Cogs
No proprietary formats. No new storage systems. ByteFreezer writes standard Parquet to S3 you already run. Query with DuckDB, Athena, Snowflake, or your AI agents. Nothing new to operate.
Custom-Fit With AI
Describe what you need in plain English. MCP gives AI full knowledge of your deployment. Pipeline configs built in minutes, not months.
How It Works
Data flows toward your SIEM
ByteFreezer intercepts. Stores everything as Parquet.
Only what you choose gets forwarded to the SIEM.
Filter eBPF to IO operations. Send only password changes. Route only critical alerts. The rest stays in Parquet — queryable, compliant, nearly free.
