About your service

• Service categories:

  Applications

  Production and operations

  • Other operations
• Multi cloud support: No

Service scope

• Software add-on or extension: Yes, but can also be used as a standalone service
• What software services is the service an extension to: Panther is an essential SIEM extension to cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and SaaS applications (Okta, GitHub, Microsoft 365). It ingests, normalizes, and analyzes security logs from these sources, providing centralized detection and alerting to external tools like Slack and Jira.
• Cloud deployment model: Public cloud
• Service constraints: Panther is a cloud-native platform, meaning it requires continuous cloud connectivity for log ingestion. The efficiency of the platform relies heavily on customer-written Python detection rules (Detection-as-Code).

Using the service

• Web browser interface: Yes
• Supported browsers:
  • Microsoft Edge
  • Firefox
  • Chrome
  • Safari
• Application to install: No
• Designed for use on mobile devices: Yes
• Differences between the mobile and desktop service: Panther is primarily a security console.

Creating and debugging detection rules, writing complex SQL/Python queries, and detailed forensic investigation are restricted to the desktop interface.
• Service interface: Yes
• User support accessibility: None or don’t know
• Description of service interface: The service interface is the Panther Web Console, a web portal for log querying, real-time alerting, and managing Detection-as-Code rules. It is a persistent interface and is fully included with all active Panther subscriptions.
• Accessibility standards: None or don’t know
• Description of accessibility: The platform is designed for high usability for security and DevOps engineers. Users can manage detection rules and investigate threats. Formal accessibility compliance is not publicly certified, but the interface supports standard web accessibility features.
• Accessibility testing: Specific, formal interface testing with users of assistive technology is not publicly documented. Our development lifecycle focuses on a performant, functional interface for technical users. For UK public sector buyers requiring verifiable evidence of testing (e.g., with screen readers or alternative input devices), this information and detailed Voluntary Product Accessibility Templates (VPAT) can be requested and provided under a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).
• API: Yes
• What users can and can't do using the API: The API supports full pipeline management: users can ingest data, manage alert suppression, query security findings, and integrate with SOAR tools. Changes to detection rules are managed via Git (Detection-as-Code). The API is restricted from core administrative functions such as billing management and platform governance.
• API documentation: Yes
• API documentation formats:
  • Open API (also known as Swagger)
  • HTML
  • PDF
  • Other
• API sandbox or test environment: Yes
• Customisation available: Yes
• Description of customisation: What can be customised includes: detection logic (using Python or YAML), alert outputs/routing (Jira, Slack, PagerDuty), data normalization rules (parsers), and data retention policies. How users can customise is primarily via Detection-as-Code (DaC) using a Git-based workflow for version control and automated testing. Who can customise is limited to Security Engineers and Platform Administrators.

Scaling
