As a growing player in the cybersecurity space, Nagomi Security’s inclusion in Gartner’s “Cool Vendors for the Modern Security Operations Center” report is an exciting milestone—and we believe, a strong validation of the work we’re doing. But what does this mean for us, our customers, and the broader cybersecurity industry? Let’s break it down and explore why being named in this report is such an important achievement.
1. Validating Our Approach to Security Operations
Being recognized by Gartner as a Cool Vendor is no small feat. Gartner’s analysts don’t just hand out accolades; they rigorously vet companies to identify those that offer innovative, game-changing solutions for today’s complex cybersecurity challenges. Nagomi Security’s inclusion highlights our unique approach to automated security control assessment (ASCA) and continuous assessment.
Unlike traditional security vendors, who often provide generic solutions or compliance-driven recommendations, Nagomi’s technology goes beyond compliance audits. Our focus is on continuous optimization—helping organizations proactively identify, address, and remediate gaps in their security posture. By automating the mapping of security configurations to frameworks like MITRE ATT&CK, we help organizations align their security controls with their unique threat landscape, making their security posture more adaptive and resilient.
We believe this recognition positions Nagomi Security as an innovator in the space—showcasing our commitment to not only meeting industry standards but transforming how organizations think about security operations.
2. The Growing Demand for Innovation in Security Operations
Cybersecurity is undergoing a seismic shift. As organizations scale their digital environments, shift to the cloud, and adopt technologies like AI, the attack surface is growing rapidly. Security operations teams are under immense pressure to detect, respond to, and mitigate threats faster while managing an overwhelming amount of alerts, vulnerabilities, and incidents.
In this rapidly evolving environment, traditional approaches are no longer enough. Companies need automation and continuous risk exposure management. That’s where Nagomi Security stands out. We provide solutions that help security operations teams optimize existing controls, identify gaps, and remove security architecture flaws in real-time—without waiting for annual audits or reactive fixes.
Gartner’s report reflects these trends, emphasizing the importance of automated and continuous security operations to stay ahead of evolving threats. By naming Nagomi as a Cool Vendor, we believe Gartner recognizes that we’re not just keeping up with these trends—we’re helping shape them.
3. Empowering Security Teams to Do More With Less
A key challenge in modern security operations is the strain on security teams. With limited resources, overworked analysts, and an ever-growing volume of security alerts, it’s difficult for many organizations to stay ahead of attackers. Gartner’s report points out that most organizations are still insufficiently protected and struggle to scale their security efforts to match the growing demands of the modern attack surface.
At Nagomi, we address this challenge head-on by automating the most repetitive aspects of security control assessments and helping organizations prioritize threats based on their specific threat profile. This approach enables security teams to focus their efforts where they matter most, freeing them up to tackle more complex, higher-priority incidents.
Our continuous assessment process helps identify control overlaps, inefficiencies, and misconfigurations early, allowing teams to take proactive action before vulnerabilities can be exploited. With automation and real-time visibility, we empower security teams to do more with less, improving overall security outcomes while reducing burnout and operational stress.
4. A Testament to Our Innovation and Growth
Being listed as a Cool Vendor is more than just recognition—it’s a testament to our ongoing innovation and the success of our customer-centric approach. The fact that Nagomi Security helps organizations get the most out of their existing investments in security controls is a big part of why we’ve been recognized. This resourcefulness not only makes Nagomi a strong partner, but leverages the abilities of vendors consequently allowing for stronger collaboration. As security operations leaders increasingly seek ways to improve efficiencies, reduce false positives, and enhance their ability to detect and respond to threats, Nagomi’s solutions are filling a crucial gap.
As the industry continues to evolve, security operations leaders are expected to experiment with new technologies and embrace unconventional approaches, especially when facing the kinds of complex, sophisticated threats that we see today. Gartner’s report suggests that smaller, innovative vendors like Nagomi, who challenge the status quo, are becoming more appealing to security teams who need adaptable, forward-thinking solutions.
5. The Road Ahead: Scaling with Our Customers
While being named in Gartner’s report is a major accomplishment, it’s just the beginning. As we continue to scale and innovate, we’re committed to helping our customers achieve their cybersecurity goals. Our approach will continue to evolve, with a focus on enhancing our integrations, optimizing automation, and supporting organizations across all stages of their cybersecurity maturity.
We recognize the challenges that security operations teams face—overwhelming workloads, insufficient resources, and the constant need to stay ahead of attackers. By being part of this Cool Vendor list, we reinforce our commitment to not only solving today’s security challenges but also driving the future of security operations.
