Securonix, a security information and event management (SIEM) and user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) provider, reported record customer acquisition and revenue growth in the first six months of 2018.
The company recorded 150 percent bookings growth and 195 percent subscription revenue growth year over year in the first half of 2018, the firm says. Also, Securonix posted a 98 percent customer retention rate during the time frame.
The figures certainly look impressive. But the company didn't disclose actual dollar figures for revenue and net income, so it's difficult to pinpoint just how well Securonix is performing.
The momentum statement comes a few days after Splunk announced SIEM partner momentum, and a few weeks before the SIEM-focused Exabaeam Spotlight18 customer conference.
Securonix Security Analytics Platform Version 6.2
Not resting on its laurels, Securonix has been busy with R&D. The company recently launched Securonix Security Analytics Platform version 6.2, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) to help security analysts speed up incident response.
Key features of Security Analytics Platform version 6.2 include:
- Behavior Profiles: Allow security analysts to compare actions of a member of a user group against the baseline of a peer group.
- Privacy Workflow: Enables security analysts to request and grant approval to unmask data of a specific user or resource and maintain compliance with privacy regulations.
- ResponseBot: Uses a machine learning algorithm to analyze security decisions.
- Security Command Center: Offers filters and widgets that provide security analysts with insights into security violations and incidents.
- SNYPREye: Ensures all system components, data ingestion and analytical jobs are continuously running and meeting their desired service-level agreements (SLAs).
Security Analytics Platform version 6.2 is now available, and it can be used across cloud and hybrid IT environments.
