As a CEO working alongside cybersecurity product companies, I know that integration & the connectors are necessary evil for cyber security products companies. For companies in our industry, seamless, reliable integration has become an essential ingredient for success. But we all know the reality: integrations are anything but seamless. They’re often complex, costly, and a long road to the finish line. And this complexity can be especially limiting when you’re in cybersecurity, where rapid response and adaptability are essential.
For years, we at Sacumen have been working hand-in-hand with cybersecurity leaders to find a better way. Our answer? SacuNXT—a platform built from the ground up to solve the unique integration challenges cybersecurity companies face every day. Alongside SacuNXT is AutoNXT, an automation platform that takes our integration process one step further by streamlining testing. Together, they are designed to take on the toughest integration challenges, freeing up teams to do what they do best. It’s not their core IP but they still need to do it to make their products sellable and usable.
The Integration Hurdles We Face
Cybersecurity companies today face intense pressure to keep up with client demands and integrate seamlessly with multiple systems, protocols, and tools—all while staying ahead of evolving threats. However, traditional integration approaches have consistently fallen short in key areas, which many of our partners know well:
- Lengthy Development Timelines: Custom coding for integrations takes time, and with each new client or product, the timeline grows longer.
- High Costs: Coding and testing integrations by hand is resource-intensive. Many teams feel the strain on both time and budget.
- Scalability Limitations: As companies grow, the ability to quickly build and deploy new integrations becomes a bottleneck, slowing down growth.
- Prone to Errors: Manual coding introduces a higher risk of errors, which can result in unexpected security gaps.
- Compatibility Struggles: Cybersecurity tools aren’t naturally compatible with each other, meaning integration teams often find themselves stitching together disconnected systems.
These roadblocks make it difficult for product companies to deliver reliable integrations quickly and cost-effectively. At Sacumen, we knew that a new approach was needed—one that would specifically address these common yet complex challenges.
SacuNXT: Built for Cybersecurity, Built for Speed
SacuNXT was born out of a commitment to making integration easier and faster. It’s a low-code/no-code platform that lets teams create integrations through an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, taking the pressure off developers and empowering them to work smarter, not harder.
We saw the power of SacuNXT firsthand when working with one of our partners, a well-known SIEM company. They were facing some serious challenges—each integration they developed involved manual coding, which was slow, costly, and riddled with errors. With the demand for faster delivery timelines, their existing process was simply unsustainable. So, they turned to SacuNXT.
Here’s how SacuNXT transformed their approach:
- Challenges: This SIEM provider needed a way to speed up integration development while maintaining high quality and keeping costs down.
- Solution: By adopting SacuNXT, they could access a no-code drag-and-drop interface that allowed them to design and deploy connectors quickly, without heavy coding requirements. With AutoNXT’s automated testing, they were able to test each connector for performance, deploying across multiple environments with ease.
- Results: The results spoke for themselves. With SacuNXT, they cut their time-to-market by 67%, reduced integration costs by 60%, and experienced a 95% drop in integration errors.
The Power of a Combined Approach: SacuNXT + AutoNXT
While SacuNXT focuses on speeding up integration development and deployment, AutoNXT is all about testing automation. Manual testing is not only time-consuming but prone to human error, and when you’re dealing with cybersecurity, those errors can have significant consequences. AutoNXT automates this process, ensuring that every connector performs as expected in real-world conditions.
Together, SacuNXT and AutoNXT create a complete integration solution for cybersecurity product companies, covering everything from design to deployment and testing. Our platforms allow CTOs, VPs of Product, and integration leaders to focus on what they do best, without the constant worry of integration roadblocks slowing down their progress.
Why Sacumen is Different
What sets Sacumen apart is our laser focus on cybersecurity. While there are many integration platforms out there, few are tailored to meet the unique demands of cybersecurity companies. We understand these demands because we work exclusively with cybersecurity product companies, and our focus is 100% on building solutions that fit their needs. In fact, we’ve developed over 900 connectors specifically for cybersecurity products.
At Sacumen, we also prioritize building close partnerships with our clients, understanding their unique challenges, and working together to solve them. We’re not just another IPaaS provider—we’re a dedicated partner in helping cybersecurity product companies succeed.

Our mission doesn’t stop here. At Sacumen, we’re constantly looking for ways to make SacuNXT and AutoNXT even more powerful and adaptable to the ever-evolving needs of the cybersecurity industry. Our expansion into the U.S. market is a major step forward, allowing us to bring our unique solutions to a broader audience and partner with more leading cybersecurity companies.
In the coming months, you’ll see new features and capabilities from SacuNXT and AutoNXT, designed to make integrations even faster and more adaptable. And as cybersecurity threats continue to grow in complexity, our tools will grow alongside them, offering product companies a solution that they can rely on both now and in the future.
