Traditional SIEMs were built for expensive storage, forcing teams to sample data, limit retention, and accept blind spots. Strike48’s Prospector Studio enables a rapid, low-risk transition to a modern, cost-efficient architecture—delivering an agentic SOC from day one while supporting gradual SIEM migration and hybrid operations.
Legacy SIEMs don’t distinguish between hot operational data and long-term retention.
When agents and analysts can only see what’s inside the SIEM, investigations are bound by what you could afford to ingest.
Migrating SIEMs is expensive and time- consuming, leaving many stuck in archaic platforms.
Prospector Studio supports a bifurcated backend that separates real-time security operations from long-term investigation and retention.
Leverage your existing SIEM infrastructure for streaming hot data. Utilize a low-cost S3 layer for long-term retention, high-volume
telemetry, and the broad visibility data that legacy SIEMs force you to drop.
Prospector Studio sits above both as the agentic control plane. Autonomous agents search across the SIEM and S3
simultaneously, run multi-step investigations, and produce findings without analysts manually pivoting between systems.

By tiering logs between your SIEM and S3, you stop paying hot-storage rates for data that doesn’t need it.
Autonomous agents query across your SIEM and S3 simultaneously. Incident reconstructions are no longer bound by what you could afford to keep in hot storage.
Autonomous agents run Tier 1 triage and Tier 2 investigations end-to-end. Analysts get enriched, contextualized findings across every log source you have, all conducted at machine speed.
Connect to both legacy and new systems in parallel via MCP, so your SOC never goes dark. Historical data stays searchable in place — no re-ingestion required, no coverage gap.

Prospector Studio connects to your existing SIEM via MCP and to your S3 buckets directly. Nothing changes in your SOC. You gain immediate visibility into both layers
Move high-volume, lowurgency data out of hot SIEM storage and into S3. Your SIEM handles real-time detections and active incidents. S3 handles retention, telemetry, and broad investigation data
For many teams, the dual architecture becomes the permanent operating model: lower cost, broader coverage, full agentic investigation. Optionally, migrate off your legacy SIEM entirely for full optimization.
the bottom line
Strike48 Prospector Studio is uniquely powerful for organizations migrating off legacy SIEMs because it was designed for the transition period—not just the destination.
