Brava's AI-Driven Platform Revolutionizes Security Tool Testing, Expands in North America
  • Brava’s platform tests security tooling by generating attacker-like telemetry without launching real attacks, identifying gaps in telemetry, detection logic, and log collection.

  • Using multiple AI agents, Brava predicts the telemetry evidence of attack techniques, then compares these predictions with existing monitoring capabilities and suggests adjustments to SIEM systems to close gaps.

  • The system can identify missing logs, telemetry gaps, and ineffective detection rules, and it can modify detection rules and data feeds within SIEM platforms to address identified gaps.

  • Brava’s funding round included angel investors with ties to Anthropic, Microsoft, and Check Point, and the company plans a North American expansion targeting financial services and government sectors.

  • The expansion plan focuses on North America, especially financial services and government, while pivotal questions remain about whether security leaders will validate AI-driven approaches before ceding decisions to AI agents.

  • The company intends to grow in North America, pursue customers in financial services and government, and invest in further AI and threat-detection capabilities.

  • On adoption, Cushman & Wakefield’s CISO Erik Hart notes Brava centers AI on enhancing human effectiveness by investigating alongside teams and grounding decisions in factual evidence.

  • Brava already serves Fortune 100 customers in retail, energy, and hospitality, with initial insights available within 10 to 15 minutes after onboarding.

  • The product integrates with existing security stacks, supporting more than 70 sources and destinations such as Splunk, Google SecOps, and CrowdStrike, to avoid replacing current tools.

  • Brava’s platform supports 70+ sources/destinations (e.g., Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, Google SecOps, CrowdStrike NG-SIEM, Elastic Security, IBM QRadar) with initial insights 10–15 minutes after SIEM connection.

  • Aquarium, the investigation agent, accepts plain-English questions, plans and adjusts queries, and searches SIEM, archived logs, EDR, and cloud audit trails; its reports link findings to underlying raw events.

  • Reported daily metrics include 2.4 trillion events read and fingerprinted, 1,100 attack techniques replayed, 3,800 detections retested, and 140,000 fields mapped per day across customer environments.
