Great minds think alike. That is what one could say about Tanuj Gulati and Sachin Nayyar who met in Los Angeles and made waves in the security world by founding Securonix, a cyber security company. With extensive backgrounds in security, Gulati and Nayyar realized that most of the security technologies available in the market were incapable of handling todayï¿½s sophisticated threats.

ï¿½We looked at the stunning advances in behavior analytics and wondered why they hadnï¿½t been applied to cyber security,ï¿½ says TanujGulati, CTO and Co-founder, Securonix.

Headquartered in Los Angeles, CA, Securonix provides a security analytics platform for monitoring security events, as well as activity log data to detect insider threats and advanced targeted attacks.

ï¿½We detect threats within the network perimeter and bring them to the security teamï¿½s attention,ï¿½ says Sachin Nayyar, CEO of Securonix.

The company offers ï¿½Securonix Security Analytics Platformï¿½, a behavior based anomaly detection platform that analyzes and correlates event logs from hundreds of devices and applications including cloud, mobile and Big Data platforms across the entire IT infrastructure. The platform uses sophisticated algorithms to analyze all interactions between users, machines and data to detect insider and external cyber threats. The primary use cases delivered by the Securonix platform include the rapid detection of data exfiltration, privilege abuse and malware infections.
