Gurucul Leapfrogs with Industry's First AI-SOC Analyst for Smarter, Faster, Cost-Efficient Threat Detection and Response

Transforms the SOC function through deep human-AI collaboration,
fueling the Self-Driving SIEM

LOS ANGELES , Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Gurucul, the leader in data and security analytics, today announced its new AI-SOC Analyst, which leverages the power of deep human-AI collaboration to transform the security operations center (SOC). The Gurucul AI-SOC Analyst automatically triages all alerts, extracts key artifacts, classifies them, risk scores and dynamically responds by escalating alerts or remediating, thereby reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR) by 83%.

The Gurucul AI-SOC Analyst operates like an experienced human analyst, investigating every alert, gathering relevant context, and prioritizing what truly deserves attention. SOC teams are charged up with autonomous incident handling and improved decision-making with context-rich insights and evidence-based recommendations that enable human analysts to make faster and better-informed decisions.

The AI-SOC Analyst is coupled with Gurucul's Sme AI copilot, which uses Generative AI to help interpret complex data, summarize threat intelligence and incident reports, explain log patterns in plain language, suggest queries and recommend next steps during investigations.

Saryu Nayyar, CEO, Gurucul, said: "As threats proliferate, alert fatigue, understaffed SOCs, analyst burnout, and increasing threat complexity remain pervasive problems. Gurucul's AI-SOC Analyst frees them from the vast majority of repetitive, high-volume and mundane tasks to instead focus on higher-value work. Humans remain a critical piece of security operations, and we're giving them the tools needed to be successful in today's fast-paced threat landscape to deliver faster responses. This innovation marks a huge step in Gurucul's journey to transform SOC operations and continues to underscore our commitment to securely harnessing the power of AI to empower the SOC."

Benefits of the Gurucul AI-SOC Analyst include:

• 24/7 monitoring without fatigue – Constant vigilance ensures around-the-clock alert handling with no weekends, no vacations, and no burnout.
• Faster threat detection and response – Enables investigating alerts in seconds, not hours, reducing the mean time to detection (MTTD) and MTTR.
• Augments human analysts with consistent, unbiased decisions – Acts as a tireless force multiplier, freeing up Tier 1 and Tier 2 analysts to focus on complex threats and strategic tasks. It removes human error or subjective judgment by treating every alert with the same logic and scrutiny.
• Noise reduction – Escalates only high-fidelity, actionable threats by filtering out false positives using behavior analysis and correlation.
• Cost efficiency and scalable security operations – Supports the triage of thousands of alerts simultaneously without added headcount, reducing reliance on large teams for basic triage and investigation.

Gurucul's AI-SOC Analyst offers:

• The industry's first AI Analyst natively integrated with Gurucul's Unified Data and Security Analytics Platform, with all the critical context needed to be successful.
• Trust at the core by making every decision from the AI-SOC Analyst transparent and explainable. This builds analyst confidence, encourages validation, and establishes a clear path for feedback and continuous improvement.
• Powerful auto-triaging and response to all alerts in seconds by automating Level 1 SOC analyst response, empowering Level 2 and Level 3 analysts with powerful insights, risk prioritization, evidence-based response recommendations, and response automation.

Nilesh Dherange, CTO, Gurucul, said: "At Gurucul, we are on a mission to empower SOC teams with the power and promise of AI, unlocking human potential with fewer distractions, controlled costs and complete context. We are making huge investments in AI research and have added purpose-built use cases powered by the most suitable LLMs with this AI-SOC Analyst to automate alert triage and response with flexible workflows."

Gurucul experts will demonstrate this disruptive innovation at Black Hat 2025 in Las Vegas at booth #5233. To schedule a meeting or demo, go here. The team also will be participating in today's AI Summit, table 11, co-located at Black Hat.

Neda Pitt, CISO, said: "Gurucul's AI-SOC Analyst is a game changer for the SOC. The AI-driven insights with automated triage and response provide a level of visibility and speed we simply have never had. It helps prioritize what matters, cuts through the noise, and stays ahead of an ever-changing threat landscape. It's like having an intelligent co-pilot in the SOC, augmenting human analysts without adding headcount!"
