## Executive Summary

Panther keeps little when a customer decides to leave. Its detection rules ship as open code in a public repository buyers can fork, the security data stays in the customer's own Snowflake or Databricks instance rather than a Panther system, and the AI agents it launched in March 2026 sell as software any funded rival could also build. The part that took years is the engineering underneath, real-time detection written as code at cloud scale. For a buyer, that makes Panther a head start in a hard problem rather than a lasting lock-in. In June 2026 Databricks announced intent to acquire Panther, which would place that engineering inside the data platform Panther already runs on, pending close.
