Security operations today are drowning in alerts but starved for insight. Traditional SIEMs and even many “modern” SIEMs surface massive volumes of events, but provide little clarity on what actually matters. SOC teams are left reacting to noise, wasting time on false positives while true threats lurk in the shadows.
A recent study by Cybersecurity Insiders backs that up. The 2025 Pulse of the AI SOC found that 76% said that alert fatigue is the most pressing challenge facing their SOC today, of those surveyed. And 88% responded that the volume of security alerts in their SOC had increased over the last 12 to 24 months with 46% having an increase greater than 25%.
Gurucul’s Smart SIEM changes the game. With advanced behavioral analytics, unified identity context, and real-time risk scoring, we give SOC analysts the visibility they need, the detections they can trust, and the prioritization they require to act fast and act smart.
Threats are no longer just external. Insider threats, compromised identities, lateral movement, and hybrid cloud attacks all require deeper context than log ingestion alone can offer. Gurucul’s AI-powered SIEM is designed to correlate data across users, devices, applications, and environments, putting behavior at the center of every detection.
With over 4,000 machine learning detection models, Gurucul delivers behavioral baselining and anomaly detection across:
The REVEAL platform maps over 98% of MITRE ATT&CK techniques, giving you unmatched coverage across the entire kill chain. This isn’t rule-based legacy SIEM—it’s contextual, identity-driven analytics built for modern adversaries.
The report shows that 87% of organizations have a plan in place to adopt AI in security operations.
Most SIEMs today generate thousands of alerts — but how many of them actually matter? Gurucul customers have reduced false positives by up to 70%, thanks to our behavior-based detection, context and risk correlation.
Case in point: a leading biopharma company deployed Gurucul to modernize its SOC. The result?
This isn’t just better detection — it’s better outcomes. Analysts spend less time chasing noise and more time acting on true threats, accelerating response and improving overall SOC effectiveness.
Seeing every alert is meaningless if you don’t know which one to respond to first. That’s where Gurucul’s risk engine comes in.
We score every user, entity, and asset on a normalized 0–100 scale, using 240+ dynamic attributes, including:
This risk-centric approach ensures that the alerts at the top of the queue are also the ones that pose the greatest potential damage to your business. No more triaging by instinct or gut — Gurucul arms analysts with quantified risk intelligence to guide decision-making and response.
With traditional tools, detection and response are often siloed and slow. Gurucul’s unified platform REVEAL changes that by integrating SIEM, UEBA, SOAR, DPM, ITDR and real-time risk scoring in one place. The result is a streamlined analyst workflow that slashes dwell time and improves investigation quality.
SOC analysts don’t just respond faster—they respond smarter.
Better visibility isn’t just about seeing more — it’s about understanding more. Gurucul brings together telemetry from across your environment and distills it into high-fidelity, prioritized insights your team can act on.
