WithSecure Built Luminen, an AI Cybersecurity Assistant, on Amazon Bedrock
Cybersecurity company WithSecure built Luminen, a generative AI assistant on Amazon Bedrock, to help organizations detect and respond to security events faster, minimizing damage and reducing downtime. WithSecure provides cybersecurity solutions for mid-market companies, prioritizing privacy, data sovereignty, and regulatory compliance in the European Union. Luminen integrates with WithSecure Elements and includes a Security Awareness Assistant that analyzes complex data tables to provide a 7-day security status overview, and an Investigation Assistant that analyzes technical data on identified security issues to build a narrative. Development began in December 2023, a public beta released in May 2024, and Luminen launched in September 2024. WithSecure also uses Amazon Neptune to build knowledge graphs storing relationships between security events.

Inspect the highlighted sourceThe challenge
WithSecure wanted to make it simpler for customers to understand their organizational security status and make informed decisions faster. Its flagship product, WithSecure Elements, provided extensive security data in structured, tabular views, and the need to convert that data into a narrative, in customers' local languages, led WithSecure to explore generative AI, while keeping data privacy and data sovereignty at the forefront given its European lineage.
The solution
WithSecure built Luminen, a generative AI assistant integrated with WithSecure Elements, using Amazon Bedrock to choose among and switch between foundation models without the complexity of self-hosting. Development began in December 2023 with an internal hackathon, a public beta released in May 2024, and Luminen launched in September 2024. Luminen comprises a Security Awareness Assistant that analyzes complex data tables to produce a 7-day security status overview, and an Investigation Assistant that analyzes technical data on identified security issues to build a narrative. WithSecure uses a second, stronger large language model in the background to validate Luminen's output quality and minimize hallucinations, and uses Amazon Neptune to build knowledge graphs storing relationships between security events.
Reported business value
Customers use Luminen's analysis to remediate security issues on their own, reducing the need to involve the Elements team, and WithSecure reports customers say they can understand and react to security events much more quickly. Luminen can localize its output in 10 languages.
