Leading Cyber Startup Cymulate Competes in 2019 ‘ASTORS’ Awards

"...Rather than rely on lengthy and manual penetration exercises that, by their nature, can only occur periodically, the organization can use automated means to frequently assess the efficacy of their myriad security controls against the newest threats.” Gartner 2018 Cool Vendor

Organizations worldwide are continually under attack by hackers and cyber criminals, leaving their most sensitive assets – be it IP, data or cash – and reputation at stake.

Security testing is a challenging enough task for enterprises that many professionals don’t even attempt to learn, yet most compliance standards require companies to perform security testing on a regular basis.

Moreover, traditional methods such as vulnerability scans and penetration tests do not present the full picture; especially when it comes to sophisticated, multi-vector attacks.

WOULD YOUR CYBER SECURITY WITHSTAND A MULTI-VECTOR ATTACK?

Cymulate, a new competitor in the 2019 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, empowers organizations to assess their overall security posture and validate their cyber defenses continuously and comprehensively by remote testing their entire infrastructure with an SaaS-based, on-demand Breach & Attack Simulation (BAS) Platform.

Their unique platform utilizes Cymulate’s proprietary technology to launch simulations of multi-vector cyberattacks from an attacker’s perspective against the customer’s own organization, ensuring security measures and controls are working as expected while immediately reporting on critical vulnerabilities.

This allows organizations to mitigate before an actual attacker has a chance to exploit weaknesses.

In less than three years, Cymulate has successfully launched its technology in North America, Europe and Asia, serving dozens of organizations across all verticals, with the highest risk sectors of finance and healthcare dominating.

Customer retention is exceptionally high, with the vast majority of Cymulate’s customers renewing their licenses.

Cymulate tripled its revenue growth and customer base in 2018.

Customer feedback is extremely positive, stressing the value of getting results within exceptionally short timescales, ease of use for security teams, comprehensive reports for both technical and C-Suite execs alongside comprehensive evaluation of security controls

Cymulate Key benefits include:

Cymulate is a most comprehensive BAS platform, validating an organization’s security posture at pre-exploitation, exploitation and post-exploitation stages of an attack, offering the largest range of attack vectors in the industry to cover the full attack chain.

Providing immediate results, Cymulate’s platform is the easiest to deploy, allowing companies to perform assessments within minutes

Other BAS solutions require a central server to manage agents and update them with new vulnerabilities, adding further complexity and resources for in-house management.

With agents deployed at specific locations within the infrastructure that an organization wants to monitor, gaps in the network will remain unassessed and leave the organization vulnerable unless significant time, costs and resources are applied to ensure complete coverage.

Being agentless requires no additional implementation, hardware and associated costs.

Cymulate’s platform enables organizations to test their security posture anytime, anywhere, providing an advanced, fully-automated solution for customers to perform complex procedures on their own without the use of third parties.

Cymulate’s simulated attacks replicate real cyberattacks such as ransomware/malware.

Testing is done in a controlled manner without impacting the organization’s infrastructure, and the simulations won’t interfere with business operations.

Cymulate and is one of only two BAS platforms to provide organizations with the current security posture specifically for the email vector.

Fully Automated and diversified assessment, allowing to test thousands of malicious emails immediately and generate report with all the vulnerabilities and mitigation process according to the level of the risk.
