Devo

Devo provides a security data platform positioned around what its own material calls unleashing the power of the security operations centre. The company competes principally on handling large data volumes at a cost that does not force teams to discard the data they need.

That competitive position exists because of a specific weakness in the incumbents. Volume based pricing made comprehensive logging financially painful, and an entire generation of security teams learned to make retention decisions on budget grounds, which is precisely the wrong basis for deciding what evidence to keep.

Retention length matters more than most organisations appreciate until they need it. Intrusions are routinely discovered months after they began, and an investigation that can only see thirty days of history cannot establish when access was first obtained or what was taken, which are the two questions a regulator and a customer will both ask.

Query performance over long retention windows is the technical difficulty this requires solving. Keeping a year of data is straightforward if nobody searches it; making a year of data searchable at interactive speed is an engineering problem, and it is the one a platform in this space must actually solve to be useful.

No pricing is published on the captured page, though given the cost oriented positioning a buyer should model their own retention and volume requirements before comparing offers.
