TekStream’s Whole-of-State cybersecurity framework, developed with Louisiana State University (LSU), Splunk, and AWS, addresses public sector vulnerabilities through collaboration and workforce development. Launched in 2023, its student-powered Security Operations Center (SOC) provides 24/7 coverage across 34 institutions while training students with up to 1,000 hours of cybersecurity experience annually. This initiative earned TekStream three 2025 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards for Cybersecurity Team, SOC, and Cyber Skilling.
Named a Representative Vendor in the 2025 Gartner® Market Guide for Co-Managed Security Monitoring Services, TekStream supports legacy system migrations to the cloud, achieving a 98% customer retention rate. Its Splunk-powered Managed Detection and Response (MDR) services enhance agility and cost efficiency for clients.
TekStream’s consistent Splunk recognition reflects strong execution, but its private status limits financial transparency, making it hard to gauge profitability or scale. The Whole-of-State model is innovative, yet scaling it beyond Louisiana could face logistical and funding challenges. Competition in cybersecurity is intense, with firms like Optiv + ClearShark also earning Splunk awards, requiring TekStream to differentiate through execution and innovation.

Specializing in Splunk-powered MDR and cloud migrations, it maintains a 98% customer retention rate. Its Whole-of-State approach, recognized in the 2025 Gartner Market Guide, empowers public sector cybersecurity and workforce development.
