Recognition follows a year of product innovation and industry validation for the Gravwell Security Data Platform

MINNEAPOLIS, MN, Oct. 7, 2026 — Gravwell, the full-stack data analytics and security platform, today announced it has been named the Platinum Winner for Security Startup of the Year in the 2026 Juniper Research Future Digital Awards for Identity & Security.

The awards recognize leading cybersecurity and digital identity innovators, with winners evaluated by Juniper Research’s analyst and judging panels on criteria including product innovation, features and benefits, partnerships, certification and compliance, and future business prospects.

The recognition is the latest milestone in a period of significant momentum for Gravwell, as organizations seek legacy SIEM alternatives. While legacy platforms often force security teams to balance visibility against cost, Gravwell takes a different approach. Its Security Data Platform offers flexible licensing and a schema-on-read architecture so organizations can retain and investigate full-fidelity security telemetry without filtering or discarding potentially valuable data to control ingestion costs.

A recent Forrester Total Economic Impact™ study found that Gravwell customers could achieve 264% ROI, $743,000 in net present value, and payback in less than six months, including approximately $694,000 in SIEM-related savings.

Gravwell also recently expanded its platform with Gravwell 5.10, introducing environment-aware AI agents that can gather context from across the platform to perform multi-step security workflows. Rather than reasoning from limited, preassembled context such as alerts or cases, Gravwell agents can draw on telemetry, detections, searches, system state, flows, and playbooks through the platform’s MCP server, with defined tools, permissions, and operating boundaries for each task.

“Security teams shouldn’t have to choose between having the data they need and being able to afford to keep it,” said Corey Thuen, CEO and co-founder of Gravwell. “We built Gravwell because, as practitioners and threat researchers ourselves, we’d experienced those limitations firsthand. From day one, the goal has been to give security teams the freedom to work with all of their data in a way that actually fits how they operate. Being named the Platinum Security Startup of the Year by Juniper Research is validation that we’re solving a problem the industry really cares about.”
