Gurucul Builds Next-Gen Security Analytics and Operations Platform on the Snowflake Data Cloud


Gurucul, the most visionary Next-Gen SIEM solution provider, today announced the launch of the Gurucul Security Analytics and Operations platform, Powered by Snowflake, that will enable customers to seamlessly run Gurucul's Next-Gen SIEM, Open XDR, UEBA, and Identity Analytics solutions on the Snowflake Data Cloud.

The platform allows data, services and applications to be optimally deployed between the Snowflake Data Cloud and Gurucul's cloud-native infrastructure. Organizations can consolidate all their enterprise and security data into a single location and leverage next-gen analytics for real-time threat detection and automated response to data breaches, and internal and external threats.

"Security teams want more accurate and efficient threat detection tools and a unified view of their operations, including the cloud, without increasing costs or forcing changes to other parts of IT," said Nilesh Dherange, CTO of Gurucul. "Gurucul and Snowflake's partnership delivers on all these fronts, with Snowflake providing a modern security data lake and Gurucul providing powerful analytics, faster threat detection, and more efficient investigations and resolution."

"Gurucul and Snowflake's joint solution provides exciting new ways for security teams to protect their environments at scale," said John Bland, Cybersecurity Data Cloud Principal at Snowflake. "Customers are now able to leverage Gurucul's Security Analytics and Operations platform for advanced threat detection, investigation and response on top of their Snowflake Security Data Lake. Customers now have a way to quickly identify and address new, emerging and unknown threats that evade most traditional security solutions. We are pleased to be working with Gurucul to advance cybersecurity use cases in the Snowflake Data Cloud."

Gurucul's solutions improve SOC efficiency, reduce threat detection time, decrease manual effort through automation, and deliver analytics for automated detection and targeted threat response. Gurucul was positioned furthest to the right for completeness of vision in the 2022 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Security Information and Event Management and ranked in the top three for all SIEM use cases in the 2022 Gartner Critical Capabilities for SIEM.



Capabilities of Gurucul's solutions include:

  • Poly-Cloud Threat Detection, Investigation, and Response (TDIR) - Deployment, analytics and detection on any cloud
  • Threat Intel & Content - Large library of open threat models, MITRE ATT&CK mapping and curated threat intelligence powered by Gurucul Threat Labs
  • Enterprise Risk Engine - All-encompassing analytics-derived risk scoring to accelerate investigation and high-fidelity response
  • Gurucul STUDIO - Customizable analytics and transparent machine learning models to accommodate custom use cases

Customers can also leverage Snowflake's single, integrated platform for cost-effective and boundless cloud storage for all their security data. Compute power can be scaled as needed for real-time investigations across terabytes of data. This is especially important as data volume continues to grow, and enterprises need more scalable, cost-effective ways to store data.
