Gurucul also experienced 600% growth for its Security and Fraud Analytics as a service offering, signed marquee customers in the financial, insurance and healthcare sectors, made several key management hires and expanded its global footprint through several strategic business partnerships.
According to Mordor Intelligence the global security analytics market was valued at USD 2.71 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach USD 4.85 billion in 2023 with a CAGR of 10.7%, during the forecast period (2018-2023).
“Market adoption of security and fraud analytics is being fueled by the recognition that traditional tools are not able to predict, prevent, detect and respond to insider threats, advanced attacks and cross-channel fraud especially for hybrid cloud environments,” said Saryu Nayyar, CEO of Gurucul. “We experienced a significant jump in revenue last year as customers deployed Gurucul’s platform to prevent data breaches and fraud; enable model driven security and business processes, comply with regulatory mandates in healthcare and financial services, and privacy mandates like GDPR, HIPAA and PCI-DSS.”
Gurucul’s success last year was based on its ability to help organizations leverage advanced real time security and fraud analytics, provide a holistic and contextual view of risks and threats, and enable automated controls in both cloud and enterprise environments, which go beyond SIEM and traditional fraud prevention technologies.
According to CEO Saryu Nayyar, “Customers are losing faith in SIEM solutions and their rules-based black box analytics, high costs and reliance on threat hunting experts in a resource constrained market, and instead are favoring security analytics as a service that possess SIEM capabilities.”
