Security data scientists, ML engineers, detection engineers, and agentic SOC developers building AI-driven security models on enterprise security data lake infrastructure.

Key Takeaways

A complete security data lake built on  AIStor and Apache Iceberg enables SOC data scientists to train ML models on years of telemetry — a capability SIEM platforms alone cannot deliver.

The guide's seven implementation modules cover UEBA, insider threat detection, agentic AI integration, and MLflow model management — providing a complete build-out path for AI-driven SOC capabilities.

Temporal depth — the ability to store and query security data across extended historical periods — is presented as the foundational requirement that separates effective AI-driven detection from reactive alert processing.

SOC data scientists need more than a SIEM. They need a complete, high-throughput security data lake capable of powering behavioral analytics, ML-driven threat detection, and agentic AI security workflows, and this guide is built to that specification. It walks through seven implementation modules built around AIStor and Apache Iceberg: User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA), retrospective detection engineering, ML-powered insider threat detection, agentic AI integration, MLflow model management, data quality and pipeline validation, and temporal depth design for volume, variety, and velocity. Each module includes working code patterns and environment setup. The guide closes with a quick reference cheat sheet. Temporal depth, the ability to store and query security data across extended historical windows, is treated throughout as the foundational capability that separates effective AI-driven detection from reactive alert processing.
