Which users are most active?
What happened in the last hour?
Q: Can it work with [X SIEM]? A: Yes! ASTRA uses standard REST APIs and can integrate with any SIEM platform including Splunk, QRadar, and ELK stack.
Q: What about false positives? A: ASTRA provides confidence scores and learns from analyst feedback to improve accuracy over time.
Q: How much does LLM API cost? A: ASTRA supports both cloud APIs and local models like Llama. Most queries cost <$0.01 with GPT-4.
Q: Is this production ready? A: Yes! We have Docker deployment, API documentation, and integration guides ready.
Q: How do you ensure data privacy? A: All data stays in your infrastructure. The AI can run completely on-premise with local models.
Q: What about performance at scale? A: Our microservices architecture handles 1000+ concurrent users. Each service scales independently.
Q: How long to deploy? A: Less than 30 minutes with Docker Compose. Enterprise deployment with Kubernetes takes 2-3 hours.
Q: Can non-technical people use it? A: Absolutely! That’s the point. If you can chat, you can investigate threats.
