Tracecat: Beta Launch
June 25th 2024
Announcements
Written by Chris (CEO & cofounder)
Today is the day, we are finally announcing our Public Beta for Tracecat: the open source Tines / Splunk SOAR alternative built for security engineers.
Star our GitHub repo, share our launch on LinkedIn / Reddit / Slack, Tweet about us, check out our docs, or just book a demo! Now is the time.
But Tracecat is not "just" open source Tines.
We've designed a new way to automate security. One that is a more affordable (up to 5x cost savings), easier-to-adopt, and easier-to-maintain.
Okay, prove it.
Easier-to-adopt
Install and run your first workflow in under 5 minutes. Docs.
Open source playbooks: version controlled in YAML, compiles to no-code, and ready-to-use. Docs.
Build integrations in minutes using a single Python decorator. Docs.
Easier-to-maintain
Code or no-code? No problem!
Tracecat supports both automation-as-code (inspired by GitHub Actions and Ansible) and the classic drag-and-drop UI/UX.
Code is automatically converted into no-code, and vice versa.
More affordable
We built Tracecat on top of Temporal: a new open source workflow engine used by the world's largest software companies (e.g. Datadog, Stripe, Coinbase).
What used to require a team of engineers is now available open source for free.
We pass the cost savings to you.

So, how is Tracecat different to Temporal? Temporal is a general-purpose dev tool designed for software engineers. Tracecat builds the necessary features for security automation:
No-code workflow builder. Docs.
Case management. Docs.
Functions / expressions (what Tines calls "formulas"). Docs.
Control flows: for-loops, if-then conditions, JSONPath match, exponential retries.
Integrations to security tools (EDR, SIEM, CSPMs etc.). Docs.
Security playbooks! Docs.
🔥 Our ask:
Share this announcement on Twitter, LinkedIn, Slack, Discord, Reddit.
Check out our brand new docs.
And if you like what you see, book a demo!
The beta has been in the work since B-Sides SF and RSAC. We overhauled the backend, added integrations, and built playbooks in under 8 weeks. Your support and feedback is what keeps us going nights and weekends. ❤️
📅 What to expect next month:
A lot more playbooks
A lot more integrations
AI features built on private open source models
More memes
Who are we?
Daryl (CTO) and I are two data engineers / 20-something YC founders who fell into security (story for another time). We aren't your typical ex-PAN / ex-Splunk / ex-{insert three letter agency} founders and we have no CISO network.
But what we do know is workflow orchestration and open source
What we can prove is the ability to build production-grade enterprise tools remarkably fast
Most importantly, Tracecat relies on a fast growing community of security practitioners and design partners engaging with us online (Discord, GitHub) and offline. DEFCON 32 anyone?
So thank you :)

Fun fact: Daryl and I have been best friends / cofounders since elementary school. We made our first $10 together at 8 years old selling hand-drawn comics books and MMORPG game designs (inspired by Maplestory).
Tracecat is now open to MDR and channel partners.
Let's build the future of open source security automation together.
