The Gatewatcher NDR Platform combines AI and behavioural analytics with threat intelligence to detect known and unknown attacks across IT, OT and IoT environments, deployed in the cloud, on premises or in sensitive infrastructures, without agents. Backed by a EUR 25 million European Investment Bank facility in 2025, Gatewatcher has offices in Riyadh and Dubai and serves government, defence, finance and industrial customers across the Gulf.
Agentless network detection and response built on the AIonIQ engine, combining static, heuristic, supervised and unsupervised machine-learning detection with encrypted-traffic analysis to expose intrusions at every stage of the kill chain.
The platform's central intelligence scores threats by technical severity, context, intent and business impact, while the Cockpit console prioritises incidents and coordinates containment for security operations teams.
Generative and agentic AI assistant inside the NDR platform that consolidates multi-source alert context, builds MITRE ATT&CK timelines, recommends actions and drafts reports, with its reasoning visible to analysts.
Threat intelligence platform aggregating more than 3,000 sources into a library of millions of indicators with 5,000-plus qualified markers daily, delivered in STIX to SIEM, SOAR, EDR and firewall tools.
Passive network sensors and TAPs for IT and OT, infrastructure visibility monitoring, and Reflex orchestration that automates targeted response through the customer's existing security ecosystem.
AI sits at the core of Gatewatcher's detection strategy. The AIonIQ engine runs complementary supervised and unsupervised machine-learning models alongside heuristic and static analysis, so it can detect zero-day and stealthy behaviour without a lengthy baselining period, including inside encrypted traffic. Gatewatcher attributes its Visionary placement in the Gartner Magic Quadrant to this generative-AI-led product direction.
GAIA, launched in 2024, brings generative and agentic AI to analysts: it triages alerts, gathers multi-source context, proposes remediation and drafts reports, orchestrating each step end-to-end while showing its reasoning. Combined with Decision Center risk scoring and CTI enrichment, it aims to move SOC teams from isolated alerts to confident decisions.
Where Gatewatcher fits in the four-layer AI stack we bring to partners.
Explore the layerGatewatcher was positioned as a Visionary in the 20 May 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Network Detection and Response, which it links to its Decision Center approach of moving security teams from isolated alerts to actionable decisions.
The European Investment Bank granted Gatewatcher a EUR 25 million facility, its largest venture-debt investment in cyber security to date, to fund advanced detection research and international expansion.
Gatewatcher was the sole vendor positioned as a Visionary in the 2025 Magic Quadrant, which it attributed to generative-AI integration, the GAIA assistant, agentless architecture and support for hybrid cloud and on-premises infrastructures.
