About Tuskira
Tuskira is a Full Stack Agentic SecOps platform that helps security teams detect, investigate, hunt, and contain threats across distributed environments without requiring full log centralization. It gives security teams better detection coverage, faster triage and response, lower SIEM overhead, and clearer visibility into real attack paths across the tools they already use. Most security teams are dealing with too many alerts, fragmented tools, rising operating costs, and limited analyst capacity. They also struggle to connect activity across identity, endpoint, cloud, and network quickly enough to understand what matters and respond before threats spread. Tuskira addresses this by detecting threats where the data lives, correlating signals through a unified Security Context Graph, and using AI-driven analysis to validate alerts, trace breach paths, support threat hunting, and enable targeted containment actions in existing controls. The platform works across existing security tools and telemetry sources, helping teams improve operations without ripping out their current stack. With Tuskira, teams can reduce false positives, improve detection coverage, accelerate triage and containment, lower SIEM and log-ingestion overhead, and respond with more confidence using unified cross-domain context.
