Abstract

A cloud based system receives multiple types of security telemetry from multiple participating organizations. The received security telemetry can be pseudonymized by replacing fields containing sensitive information with corresponding pseudonyms. Two data stores can be maintained, a first for raw telemetry, and a second for pseudonymized telemetry. Each data store can comprise a directory structure organized according to factors such as originating organization, administrative unit, telemetry type, schema, format and/or version and receipt time. Raw telemetry is stored in directories of the first data store, and pseudonymized security telemetry is stored in directories of the second data store, both organized according to the above-described factors. Analytics of the telemetry is facilitated by providing controlled access to analytics clients, according to permissions granted by the originating organizations and declared requirements of the analytics clients, at levels of granularity based on the above described factors and pseudonymization status.
