Scanner is a security data layer that makes all security data instantly searchable without moving or duplicating it. It connects to data where it lives—cloud object storage, SaaS tools, and streaming feeds like Kafka—and builds an in-place index so you can search across connected data without ingestion. Unlike systems that require central data warehouses or ETL pipelines, it indexes data in place to reduce infrastructure and SIEM costs while speeding searches. Its goal is to help security teams quickly search, detect, and investigate across all data sources to improve threat hunting.

SVCI invests in Scanner to power AI-driven security operations

Scanner Inc. has secured investment from Silicon Valley CISO Investments (SVCI), an angel syndicate comprised of chief information security officers from major organisations. The funding comes as AI agents now generate over 80% of query volume on Scanner's platform, which provides fast search and threat detection for log data. SVCI members had been testing Scanner against real workloads before investing, providing feedback that shaped the product's development. The company's technology enables security teams to search years of logs instantly and run continuous detections across data streams. Scanner's platform is designed to support agentic security operations centres, allowing both human analysts and AI agents to query petabytes of data in seconds. The investment will help Scanner focus on developing infrastructure for AI-driven security operations.
