# Our History

Founded on a Mission to Transform Security Operations through Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Stellar Cyber was founded in 2015 by  
 Aimei Wei

## (Chief Technical Officer) on a mission to transform security operations.

Change the Conversation from Analyzing Data to Correlating Incidents

## Aimei knew from working at companies like Cisco and Nortel, there was a cybersecurity data overload problem. In every medium-to-large company’s or MSSP’s IT department: analysts have too many consoles to monitor, too many alerts to respond to, and too much manual data correlation to spot complex attacks. This situation left companies with an unenviable choice – spend a fortune on “good enough” security or risk costly attacks.

## Cover the Entire Attack Surface

## She wanted to democratize cybersecurity solutions to eliminate that dilemma by bringing AI and machine learning to bear on the problem. She first invented a family of [cybersecurity sensors](https://stellarcyber.ai/platform-sensors/) suited for a variety of customer environments. Unlike most other cybersecurity sensors these sensors index security metadata at ingestion, ensuring from the beginning that there is a means to normalize and enrich any data source to simplify making correlations..

Bring the right intelligence

## This allows our platform’s AI engine to quickly spot anomalies across the kill chain. Stellar Cyber’s sensors deliver visibility across cloud, SaaS, applications, users, endpoints, and network, and integration with all popular security tools ensures that no part of the security landscape is ignored. Stellar Cyber’s patented Kill Chain Loop™ and Case Management dramatically reduce risk while dramatically reducing costs.

## Award-Winning AI-powered Platform

## Today, Stellar Cyber is the leading provider of [Open XDR](https://stellarcyber.ai/platform/what-is-open-xdr/) for enterprises and MSSPs, delivering easy-to-use AI while leveraging the investments organizations have already made. We continue our relentless drive to enhance the platform through ongoing research and development.
