One DNIF SIEM India standard for every log and alert.
How an Indian firm stopped paying per gigabyte to watch its own logs, and started keeping a year of them under one SIEM. Story below.
DNIF HYPERCLOUD SIEM at a glance
Why DNIF HYPERCLOUD anchors most Indian siem estates.
- OEM
- DNIF HYPERCLOUD is the flagship platform from NETMONASTERY, a Mumbai-based security company. Sirius Star scopes, deploys, integrates and supports DNIF for Indian businesses from Navi Mumbai.
- What it is
- A cloud-native SIEM that folds log analytics, user behaviour analytics and automated response into one workflow, so detection and action live in the same place instead of three tools.
- Why teams pick it
- Most Indian SIEM buyers get squeezed on per-gigabyte ingestion, so they log less and go blind. In our own projects we have seen teams drop logs to save cost, then miss the one event that mattered. DNIF ingests everything and keeps a year of events, so nothing is dropped to save money.
- Core technology
- One platform for SIEM, UEBA and SOAR; ingestion that scales past 20TB a day on a small footprint with any number of events per second; a library of machine-learning UEBA models that work out of the box plus room for your own; detections pre-mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework.
- Retention and reach
- By default DNIF gives instant access to a full year of events, which sits well with CERT-In’s 180-day log retention direction and DPDP data-residency thinking. It is platform agnostic and runs on-prem, on a private cloud, or on public cloud in an Indian region.
- India fit
- DNIF is an Indian product with Indian support, sold to enterprises on subscription and deployable inside your own environment. That keeps logs in Indian jurisdiction and keeps the vendor a phone call away, not a time zone away.
- Sirius Star role
- We assess your log sources, use cases and compliance needs, scope the DNIF deployment that pays back first, connect your sources, tune the detections and playbooks, and stay on for support and threat-hunting help.

DNIF HYPERCLOUD SIEM
Log collection, correlation and MITRE-mapped detection across your estate. Where most Indian security teams get their first payback.
- Collects and correlates logs across servers, network, cloud and apps
- Detections pre-mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK framework
- Instant access to a full year of events by default
- Threat hunting over raw events, not just summaries
UEBA behaviour analytics
Machine-learning models that learn how users and machines normally behave and flag the odd ones, so quiet insider and account misuse shows up.
- A library of UEBA models that work from day one
- Room for data engineers to build custom models
- Fewer false positives in fluid, changing environments
- Catches account misuse a signature rule would miss
SOAR automation
Automated playbooks that triage, enrich and contain the routine alerts, so a small SOC team spends its time on the real ones.
- Playbooks that triage and enrich alerts on their own
- Orchestration across your existing security tools
- Contain the routine incidents without a night call
- Detection and response in one continuous workflow
Unlimited ingestion model
Pricing that does not punish you per gigabyte, so you can ingest everything and stop leaving blind spots to save money.
- Ingest everything instead of logging less to cut cost
- Scales to any events-per-second on a small footprint
- A full year of hot, searchable events by default
- Cost that stays predictable as log volume grows
DNIF HYPERCLOUD SIEM vs Splunk, Microsoft, Wazuh
All four are honest choices. Most Indian buyers land on the first option for service depth and ecosystem fit.
| Brand | Where it wins | Best fit |
|---|---|---|
| DNIF HYPERCLOUD | SIEM, UEBA and SOAR in one cloud-native, Indian-built platform, with unlimited ingestion, a full year of hot retention, and MITRE-mapped detections, deployable inside your own Indian environment. | Indian firms that want to log everything for CERT-In and DPDP without a per-gigabyte bill, and want the vendor in the same time zone. |
| Splunk Enterprise Security | A mature, deep platform with a huge app ecosystem and strong search. | Large enterprises with the budget for premium per-gigabyte licensing and a team to run it. |
| Microsoft Sentinel | Cloud-native SIEM tied into Azure and Microsoft 365 signals, with pay-as-you-go ingestion. | Teams already deep in Azure and M365 that want their SIEM inside the same cloud. |
| Wazuh (open source) | No licence cost and full control for teams that can build and run it themselves. | Firms with in-house engineers and time to operate an open-source SIEM, not buy an outcome. |

DNIF HYPERCLOUD SIEM India FAQ
Common questions about this brand for Indian buyers. Hover any underlined term for a plain-English definition.
What is DNIF HYPERCLOUD and why does it matter for an Indian business?
DNIF HYPERCLOUD is a cloud-native SIEM that also carries UEBA and SOAR in one platform, so log analytics, user-behaviour analytics and automated response run in a single workflow. It is built by NETMONASTERY, a Mumbai-based security company, so it is an Indian product with Indian support. For an Indian business the point is retention economics: most SIEMs charge by the gigabyte, so teams log less and go blind. DNIF uses an unlimited ingestion model and keeps a full year of events by default, which fits CERT-In’s log-retention direction and DPDP residency. Send Sirius Star your log sources and we return a scoped quote in 24 working hours.
Is DNIF available in India and can it keep logs in Indian jurisdiction?
Yes. DNIF is an Indian product from NETMONASTERY in Mumbai, sold to enterprises on subscription and deployable inside your own environment. It is platform agnostic, so it runs on-prem, on a private cloud, or on public cloud in an Indian region, which keeps your logs in Indian jurisdiction. That matters for the CERT-In direction, which requires security logs to be retained for a rolling 180 days within India, and for DPDP data-residency thinking. Sirius Star procures, deploys and supports DNIF from Navi Mumbai.
How is DNIF different from an ordinary SIEM?
Two ways. First, it folds UEBA and SOAR into the SIEM, so it does not just raise an alert, it learns normal behaviour to catch quiet account misuse and runs playbooks to triage and contain the routine incidents. Second, the economics: DNIF scales past 20TB a day at any events-per-second on a small footprint, with an unlimited ingestion model that its makers put at around a 90% cost reduction versus traditional per-gigabyte pricing. That means you can ingest everything and keep a full year of hot, searchable events instead of dropping logs to save money. Detections come pre-mapped to MITRE ATT&CK so hunting starts on day one. Sirius Star scopes the use cases that pay back first.
How is a DNIF deployment priced in India?
DNIF is an enterprise subscription sized on your estate and use cases, not a shrink-wrapped licence, and its selling point is that ingestion is not billed per gigabyte. As an indicative guide*, a focused first deployment for a mid-size firm runs from a few lakhs a year, while a broad rollout across a large estate with full UEBA and SOAR runs materially higher. The honest number comes from an assessment of your log sources, retention needs and use cases. Sirius Star scopes it, sizes the deployment, and returns a written quote in 24 working hours.
What does Sirius Star do beyond reselling the licence?
We do the work around the platform. We assess your log sources, detection gaps and CERT-In and DPDP obligations, scope the DNIF deployment that pays back first, stand it up on-prem or in your Indian cloud region, connect your sources, and switch on the MITRE-mapped detections. We tune the UEBA models and SOAR playbooks, cut false positives, and stay on for support and threat hunting. The work is run from Vashi, Navi Mumbai, with a written 24 working hours quote SLA.
