Gurucul, a frontrunner in data and security analytics, has formed a strategic partnership with Blue Mantis, an IT security services provider, to equip mid-sized organizations with enterprise-grade Security Operations Center (SOC) capabilities. Announced on October 7, 2025, this collaboration positions Gurucul's Next-Gen SIEM as the core engine for Blue Mantis Protect, a managed detection and response (MDR) service launched in September, integrating behavioral machine learning, optimized data pipelines, and agentic AI for superior threat detection and response.
Mid-sized organizations often lack the resources for full-scale SOC operations yet face escalating threats from ransomware, insider risks, and advanced attacks. This partnership addresses that gap by embedding Gurucul's AI-powered platform into Blue Mantis Protect, delivering proactive, cost-effective defenses. Gurucul's solution natively blends Next-Gen SIEM for detecting known and unknown threats, data pipeline optimization to curb expenses, and AI-SOC Analyst capabilities that shift focus from routine tasks to strategic risk mitigation. Additional layers include AI-Powered Insider Risk Management for human and state-sponsored threats, plus Identity Threat Detection and Response (ITDR) to secure access infrastructures.
The platform's data sovereignty features allow seamless connectivity to existing data lakes and clouds, granting full ownership while supporting modular, flexible deployments. Over 4,000 behavioral analytics models continuously monitor activities, establishing baselines to surface high-priority risks, ensuring efficient, transparent AI that scales without complexity.
Jay Martin, Chief Information Security Officer, Blue Mantis, said: "Blue Mantis Protect was built to give mid-sized organizations the kind of security program, clarity, and control, at a predictable cost that they've never had before. With Gurucul's AI-powered analytics at the core, we're delivering enterprise-grade protection without the enterprise-grade complexity."
This alliance transforms MDR from reactive firefighting to a forward-looking command center, empowering growing businesses with radical risk visibility and future-proof security.
Beyond detection, the partnership emphasizes proactive measures, real-time risk scoring, and agentic AI workflows that automate responses across hybrid environments. Blue Mantis Protect operates as a fully managed service, providing around-the-clock expert human oversight at a fraction of traditional SOC costs, without sacrificing efficacy. Gurucul's multi-tenant architecture further enables MSSPs like Blue Mantis to deploy at scale, fostering strategic alliances that extend protection to underserved mid-market segments.
Saryu Nayyar, CEO, Gurucul, said: "Blue Mantis's decision to select Gurucul as the foundation for Blue Mantis Protect MDR, after 18 months of vigorous testing, is a huge validation of our position as the best-in-class AI-SOC platform. Our purpose-built, multi-tenant unified security analytics platform, powered by Gen and Agentic AI, delivers unmatched threat detection, rapid response and cost efficiency at scale. Mid-sized organizations deserve the same level of protection as the enterprise, and through our partnership with Blue Mantis, we're making that a reality. This collaboration highlights Gurucul's ability to empower leading MSSPs with the platform they need to protect today's complex digital enterprises at scale."
By prioritizing modular flexibility and trust-built expertise, Gurucul and Blue Mantis deliver defenses tailored to mid-sized needs, bridging the gap between enterprise sophistication and accessible innovation.
This partnership not only validates Gurucul's platform through rigorous testing but also sets a benchmark for MSSP collaborations, ensuring mid-market firms gain comprehensive, AI-enhanced security that evolves with threats and business growth.
