We’d like to tell you a little about us and the Gartner Cool Vendor.

Gartner Cool Vendors 2023 for the Modern SOC Report

Select security service providers that incentivize customers to improve security and reduce risk, rather than choosing a vendor (based on price) that turns out to be indifferent to your investment in maturing your security capabilities.

Gartner®

Conduct experiments on new approaches to improve threat detection (including threat hunting), incident investigation and response. A decentralized approach may be faster to implement, more efficient and more cost-effective compared with using a traditional, centralized log management approach.

Gartner®

Take advantage of automation providers to implement automation in as many security operations activities as possible by using no-code solutions — which will be easier to implement for a majority of enterprises and organizations.

Gartner®

Use automation to help scale your internal testing capabilities and free up time for human testers to focus on areas that are too risky to automate, and that require organizational and system-specific expertise.
