Securonix, a security information and event management (SIEM) and user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA) provider, reported record customer acquisition and revenue growth in the first six months of 2018.The company recorded 150 percent bookings growth and 195 percent subscription revenue growth year over year in the first half of 2018, the firm says. Also, Securonix posted a 98 percent customer retention rate during the time frame.The figures certainly look impressive. But the company didn't disclose actual dollar figures for revenue and net income, so it's difficult to pinpoint just how well Securonix is performing.The momentum statement comes a few days after Splunk announced SIEM partner momentum, and a few weeks before the SIEM-focused Exabaeam Spotlight18 customer conference.Security Analytics Platform version 6.2 is now available, and it can be used across cloud and hybrid IT environments.Furthermore, Chris Ostertag now leads Securonix's business development and pre-sales. He had served as Securonix's SVP of worldwide sales since 2016.Securonix today offers a security analytics and operations management platform. The company also partners with more than 25 managed service providers (MSPs), MSSPs, technology resellers and systems integrators (SIs) to deliver security analytics and intelligence services to organizations worldwide.
