Why it’s worth a visit
Gurucul’s pitch centers on collapsing traditional SIEM data costs while adding behavior-based analytics — using identity, activity, and access correlation to surface threats that signature-based tools miss. The company has previously been named a Visionary in Gartner’s SIEM Magic Quadrant, a positioning it has continued to build on in recent editions.
