Company’s cloud-native unified and modular platform recognized for its ability to provide a next-gen Security Operations Center platform with the vital addition of Identity Threat Detection and Response
Los Angeles, CA, – Nov. 16, 2023 – Gurucul, the leader in Next-Gen SIEM, XDR, UEBA and Identity & Access Analytics, today announced that Gurucul Security Analytics and Operations Platform has been named the winner of a Platinum 2023 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Award from American Security Today. It was recognized for its ability to automate and accelerate data collection, event and alert correlation, detection triage, investigation, and response to targeted attacks. The Gurucul platform combines threat intelligence with an enterprise-class risk engine that drastically reduces mean-time-to-detect (MTTD) and mean-time-to-respond (MTTR). Gurucul’s platform can also support the most complex deployments including on-premises, hybrid, and cloud (SaaS, private, GovCloud, and multi-cloud including multi-tenancy), addressing the needs of today’s modern enterprise and managed detection and response (MDR) providers.
American Security Today’s Annual ‘ASTORS’ Awards is the preeminent U.S. Homeland Security Awards Program. It is designed to recognize industry leaders of Physical and Border Security, Cybersecurity, Emergency Preparedness (Management and Response, Law Enforcement, First Responders), as well as federal, state, and municipal government agencies, as they work to keep our nation secure.
“With an increase in attacks around phishing, social engineering, credential theft, and ransomware, it is more important than ever to go beyond current security solutions that are overly concerned with endpoints, and instead focus on securing identities attached to multiple entities and devices.” said Saryu Nayyar, CEO of Gurucul. “As organizations continue to transform their SOC to support multi-cloud deployments and more, they are looking for an end-to-end solution to help them identify and confirm an entire attack campaign more rapidly. We’re honored to be recognized by the ASTORS once again for this prestigious award and named amongst an incredible lineup of innovative companies and individuals.”
