Made for small & mid-sized businesses

Artica SIEM was built for exactly that: it takes the logs of: 

They  already produce and turns them into clear dashboards, geolocation insights and automatic alerts — without a data-science team, without a cloud bill that grows every month, and without your data ever leaving your building.

Why businesses like yours choose it

  • No data loss. 
    Every event is safely written to disk before it's confirmed — a reboot or a network hiccup never makes a log disappear.
     
  • Months of history, tiny footprint. 
    Old data is automatically summarised (full detail for a few hours, then 10-minute, hourly and daily views). You keep the big picture for months while using a fraction of the disk.
     
  • Know where traffic goes. 
    Every connection is tagged with its country, so you instantly see the top destinations — and spot traffic heading somewhere it shouldn't.
     
  • Automatic threat detection. 
    Ready-to-use rules catch port scans, bursts of blocked traffic and suspicious sources, and alert you — with no alert spam.
     
  • Works with what you have. 
    Point your Fortigate or iptables firewall at it over syslog — no agents to install.
     
  • Your data stays yours. 
    Everything runs on your own hardware, on-premises. Only country codes are stored for geolocation — privacy by design.

What you can see and do

  • Traffic dashboards
    Who's browsing what, how much bandwidth, top sites and top countries
  • Firewall analytics
    Accepted vs. blocked sessions, top sources and destinations, over time
  • Detection & alerts
    Port scans, blocked-traffic spikes, country-based rules — with acknowledgement
  • GeoIP intelligence
    Country for every proxy destination and every firewall flow
  • Smart storage
    Automatic data ageing — long history, controlled disk usage
  • Capacity planner
    Know how much memory and disk you need before you deploy
  • Anomaly detection
    Surfaces the unusual so you notice it early
  • Backup & health
    Built-in backup, restore and health checks — set it and forget it

Multiple sites or clients?

Artica SIEM keeps every tenant's data strictly separated.
Perfect for a business with several sites, or for an IT provider looking after several customers from a single appliance. 
Each one sees only their own traffic.

Built to run itself

It's powered by ClickHouse, the same analytics engine used by some of the largest platforms in the world — but Artica manages it for you: 
install, health monitoring, backup and updates are all handled from the familiar Artica web console, fully translated into your language.
