Arctic Wolf, a leader in security operations, has announced significant enhancements to its Aurora Platform, aiming to alleviate the challenges faced by security teams in Singapore and beyond. The new features, unveiled on 17 June 2025, include self-service tools that eliminate the need for traditional Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tuning, offering improved visibility, flexibility, and detection response.
The enhancements address the operational limitations of legacy SIEMs, which often require specialised staffing and manual tuning. These systems have become cumbersome, particularly in hybrid and cloud-first environments, due to long deployment timelines and high alert volumes. Arctic Wolf’s updated Data Explorer module allows security teams to build custom detection rules, run intuitive queries, and search historical data without the complexity of traditional SIEMs.
Chris Kraft, chief product officer at Arctic Wolf, stated, “Security teams shouldn’t need to fight with their SIEM to get fast answers to important questions. With Data Explorer, we’re enabling fast, intuitive access to critical insights, backed by the scale and intelligence of the Aurora Platform.”
The new capabilities include simplifying custom detections, advancing search capabilities, and enabling advanced queries across historical data. These updates provide a more intuitive way for teams to investigate threats and answer high-priority security questions, empowering them to act quickly and confidently.
Arctic Wolf’s enhancements are designed to offer a scalable alternative to legacy SIEMs, helping organisations operate with the agility needed to stay ahead of evolving threats. As security teams continue to face resource constraints and mounting threats, these tools promise to streamline operations and improve security outcomes.
