Abstract Security Delivers 4X Engineering Efficiency, Insights in Under 60 Minutes, Same-Day Deployment and a Projected 75% Infrastructure Cost Reduction for Juul Labs
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – Abstract Security, the leader in streaming-first security data operations, today announced Juul Labs, a leader in consumer electronics manufacturing, as a new customer.
In an industry long burdened by operational complexity and rising costs, Juul Labs is transforming its approach to cybersecurity and IT infrastructure. Under the leadership of Pablo Quiros, VP & Global Head of Security and Information Technology / CISO, the company has quickly improved its security posture by using modern platforms including Abstract Security to get real-time visibility, reduce complexity, and empower the existing teams so they can focus on real threats without noise.
“Implementing Abstract Security brought immediate clarity and efficiency to our security operations,” said Pablo Quiros, VP & Global Head of Security and Information Technology / CISO, Juul Labs. “Their platform provided immediate visibility into our security environment, making it far easier to detect anomalies and understand our telemetry in real time. What stood out most was the seamless deployment — it was up and running in under an hour, delivering value from day one. This isn’t just another tool — it’s a true force multiplier. Abstract has helped us rethink how we approach security operations, allowing us to be proactive rather than reactive.”
When Pablo Quiros joined Juul Labs, the company faced a complex and fragmented security environment. With a lean, high-impact team and no room for complexity, Quiros recognized the need for a solution that could provide powerful security capabilities without requiring a massive headcount or heavy operational lift.
“We had multiple attempts to build visibility into our systems,” said Quiros. “What we inherited was outdated, overlapping, and broken.” The team needed a better way — something fast, flexible, and future-ready. Enter Abstract Security.
Security Without Compromise: Innovation at Speed and Scale
After evaluating the market, Juul Labs chose Abstract Security for its modern approach to security operations. With built-in data pipelines, streaming threat detections, and native cold storage through LakeVilla, Abstract is designed from ground up to cut complexity, speed up response, and boost team efficiency — all without the overhead of traditional solutions.
“As a lean team, we value tools that amplify our effectiveness without adding complexity. Abstract Security helps us cut through the noise and focus on what matters. The intuitive UI, real-time search capabilities, and the ability to pivot quickly between data sources have significantly improved our detection and response capabilities.” said Quiros. “The moment we saw a pipeline being built in Abstract with drag-and-drop simplicity, our logging engineer lit up. That kind of usability is rare in this space — and for a small, high-impact team like ours, it’s invaluable.”
Immediate Impact, Measurable Gains
With Abstract, Juul Labs now enjoys:
- Full visibility across its entire attack surface – Juul now has “full understanding of our attack surface — who, what, where, when, and why.”
- 4x engineering efficiency — “What previously took four days can now be done in a single day, freeing up engineering time for high-value tasks,” said Quiros.
- Projected 75% infrastructure savings – Juul expects infrastructure costs to drop by up to 75% over the next year as legacy systems are phased out.
“Time is our most valuable resource. Abstract gives us time back — in deployment, in operations, in impact. You don’t need a six-month onboarding. It just works,” said Quiros.
A Platform for What’s Next - Rethinking Security for Modern Architecture
Juul Labs is now expanding its use of Abstract Security to include advanced analytics, which enables its team to increase capacity without increasing headcount.
Quiros sees Abstract Security as more than a platform — it’s a strategic partner. “We like that Abstract is young and responsive. We feel like we have a voice in shaping where the product goes.”
“The success at Juul Labs reflects a broader industry transformation: security teams are moving away from legacy bloat and embracing platforms built for usability, agility, and rapid value,” said Chris Camacho, COO at Abstract Security. “By bringing streaming analytics and real-time threat detection to the forefront, we’re not just improving outcomes; we’re rewriting the rules. Security leaders are choosing Abstract over outdated, legacy platforms because they know speed, efficiency, and clarity shouldn’t be a tradeoff. Abstract delivers a modern security operations platform that is agile, intelligent, and purpose-built for the pace and complexity of today’s threat landscape.”
