Advanced analytics have strengthened our threat detection and improved incident response
The best feature Gurucul Security Analytics and Operations Platform offers is its analytics. When I heard about this feature, it was quite new to us for a SIEM as a feature. Gurucul Security Analytics and Operations Platform gave the first kind of impression from this platform, and I was impressed with this feature; it is doing a great job. Overall, this feature has covered most scenarios for now, including any kind of data exfiltration, lateral movement, or insider threat detection, so it covers almost all areas. I can say they are doing a great job regarding most of the security posture issues for any kind of organization. Gurucul Security Analytics and Operations Platform has positively impacted our organization and client by allowing us to notice compromised accounts most of the time. Some users, not from a technical background, often make mistakes that lead to their end devices being compromised, and they are usually unaware. We can detect these compromised accounts from our SIEM tool, which is a great opportunity for our company and client to improve their security posture. Of course, we have seen measurable results, such as a reduction in incidents and faster response times. If any incident happens, such as a user compromising their account while being unaware, we take that as an example and educate all staff of the client to avoid such activities, such as clicking a malicious URL or visiting a malicious site. Through that, we could improve their security posture and knowledge about security.

Identity visibility has improved and access governance supports least-privilege decisions
I wouldn't say major drawbacks, but there are a few minor challenges and limitations to consider. Veza provides significant value for identity security and access governance, but one of the main challenges is the initial implementation and integration process, particularly in organizations with complex environments, multiple cloud platforms, and a larger number of applications.Connecting different systems and ensuring that identity and permissions data is collected accurately required careful planning, technical coordination, and collaboration between security, IT, and application teams. Regarding its governance and security, my experience has not been very comprehensive, but the security approach is valuable because the AI-driven security insights need to operate with a clearer framework of access control, accountability, and data protection.
