Cyemptive Technologies, a Multi-Award Winner in the 2022 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program, has continued its series of strategic actions to scale the company up for the next level of growth with the announcement that it has named industry veteran and former Hitachi senior executive Ray McCay as Chief Revenue Officer.

In this newly created position, McCay will be responsible for solution and customer value strategy, customer satisfaction, marketing, promotions, revenue generation, and solution positioning for Cyemptive.

He will focus on organizations and entities prioritizing the highest attainable security posture, such as critical supply chain organizations and high-value organizations often targeted by organized crime and other cyber criminals, the company said.

This is the first in a series of plans in the coming weeks for Cyemptive as it scales up the company. It is part of a strategic initiative Cyemptive began in December 2022 to expand the company and position it for the next level of growth.

This strategic initiative includes a series of new offices to support its growing customer base, starting with Wilson, NC, where the new office expands the company’s data center and security technology capabilities for its government and private sector opportunities in the region and to support its growing East Coast customer base.

“Ray’s appointment is an important step for Cyemptive as we scale up the company and build infrastructure,” explained Rob Pike, founder and CEO of Cyemptive.

“In particular, his background in helping organizations create and deliver unmatched customer value to help their customers achieve their missions will be invaluable as Cyemptive moves to the next level of growth.”

As Chief Revenue Officer, McCay brings nearly 25 years of experience with Hitachi Data Systems in engineering and sales roles, including nine years as Senior Vice President of Global Product Strategy and three years as Senior Vice President of Global Solution Sales.

Most recently, McCay was responsible for a multi-cloud strategy for a private firm working with multiple US Federal Government agencies.

Previously, he was responsible for technology acquisitions at McDonnell Douglas.

“With the proliferation of ransomware, zero-day, and other unknown attacks, cybersecurity is one of the top challenges organizations face today,” said McCay.

“Even with comprehensive cybersecurity in place, these types of attacks are often missed.”

“Cyemptive offers a unique answer for entities to protect themselves from attacks that others miss, without the need to replace their current cybersecurity solutions.”

Pike, a former Chief Strategy Officer with Hitachi Data Systems himself and a visionary behind its Unified Compute Platform (UCP), has led Cyemptive in developing the only cybersecurity solutions guaranteed to protect computing environments before or immediately following a compromise.

Under his leadership, Cyemptive now has a worldwide customer base. Its solutions have won multiple awards, including Ten 2022 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards (Five Platinum, Two Gold, Two Silver, and One Bronze), in the Annual Program from American Security Today – and the Department of Homeland Security’s national competition for the most innovative border security-related solution on the market.

Cyemptive has created a next-generation layer of cybersecurity that is an essential add-on for businesses to achieve cyber safety. When added to the customer’s existing capabilities, Cyemptive’s cybersecurity solutions eliminate damage even from previously unknown attack techniques.

Cyemptive’s solutions are the only ones on the market today guaranteed to protect computing environments before or immediately following a compromise.

Cyemptive handles threat elimination by keeping systems in known and predictable states while constantly and automatically removing threats.  Unlike the competition, Cyemptive’s patented technologies protect against both known and unknown “Zero-Day” attacks, including hardware-based compromises.

Headquartered in Snohomish, Washington, Cyemptive has been on a mission to make large organizations cyber-safe since 2014.

Today, more than 130 customers worldwide utilize Cyemptive’s award-winning software, services, and support to remove all cyber threats before or immediately after they are compromised.

The company’s leadership team comprises executives from several of the world’s most powerful technology and security organizations, including Microsoft’s former CIO and Chief Computer Architect for the National Security Agency.

Cyemptive Scores Ten in 2022 ‘ASTORS’ Homeland Security Awards Program

American Security Today’s Annual ‘ASTORS’ Awards is the preeminent U.S. Homeland Security Awards Program, and now in its Eighth Year, continues to recognize industry leaders of Physical and Border Security, Cybersecurity, Emergency Preparedness – Management and Response, Law Enforcement, First Responders, as well as federal, state and municipal government agencies in the acknowledgment of their outstanding efforts to Keep our Nation Secure.

 

Cyemptive Technologies (First of Ten)

Best Cloud Computing/Storage Solution

• Cyemptive Cloud Fortress

• Cyemptive Cloud Fortress allows existing public cloud networking, compute, or storage to be securely accessed and/or securely hosted by Cyemptive in one of its Security Operation Centers (SOC) or one of their partners SOC.

• This solution will secure all communications and Data in Flight between the organization’s sites and remote workforce to the Cyemptive Cloud as a proxy service to public cloud resources. 

• The Cyemptive SOC hosting CCF uses its trusted Zero-Trust, Defense-in-Depth (D-i-D) blueprints to establish secure layers of protection for all Data at Rest, Data in Use, and Data in Flight to and from organizational users and hosted platforms.  

• Using patented technologies and blueprints, Cyemptive is able to pre-emptively stop and eradicate outside attacks from infiltrating organizational systems.

 

Cyemptive Technologies (Second of Ten)

Best Cyber Perimeter Solution

• Cyemptive Perimeter Fortress & Cyemptive Zero Trust Access

• The experience of having your firewall compromised and fooled in real-time is a common problem that often goes unnoticed.

• If you are not seeing thousands of attacks per day defended in your current firewall, then there is a high chance you are not seeing or detecting the ones getting through.

• Cyemptive’s Perimeter Fortress (CPF) defense technology successfully stops many of today’s most advanced global hackers in seconds.

• CPF handles root-level attacks and base firmware attacks with ease using their patented cyberslice technology, and found over 300 zero days in 2019 alone.

• The company’s integrated protection platform prevents the most elite hackers from compromising your perimeter defenses.

 

Cyemptive Technologies (Third of Ten)

Best Intrusion Detection & Prevention Solution

• Cyemptive Perimeter Fortress

• Cyemptive Perimeter Fortress (CPF) is an external and internal perimeter defense solution which stops today’s most advanced threats and provides security at the network.  

• CPF prevents network, root-level, and firmware attacks while protecting the external and internal perimeters, creating an effective Defense-in-Depth framework before the attack takes place. 

• While other competitive solutions in the IDS/IPS space seek to “chase” the attack after it has entered the network, CPF’s external and internal perimeter solution can eliminate, identify, and log both known and unknown Zero-Day attacks for tracking and tracing on a pre-emptive basis. 

• Competitive intrusion detection platforms were built to defend against today’s computing attacks and lack the technology to defend against supercomputers and quantum computers.  This is where Cyemptive’s Zero Trust platform excels against all solutions including its seconds-based pre-emptive technology that does not rely on signatures and eliminates threats before the can infiltrate networks.

 

Cyemptive Technologies (Fourth of Ten)

Best Preventative Cyber Solution

• Cyemptive Suite of Solutions

• Cyemptive’s cybersecurity solutions are guaranteed to protect your computing environments before or immediately following a compromise.  

• Cyemptive’s solutions capabilities can eliminate or reduce organizational risk, cost and reputation exposure while providing financial performance guarantees.  

• Cyemptive’s automated solutions pre-emptively stop threats where human-dependent and AI solutions do not, and  are developed on and End-to-End Zero Trust framework to take pre-emptive action and eliminate threats even if root or admin access is given out.  

• Cyemptive provides the only solution suite that can eliminate, identify, and log both known and unknown Zero-Day attacks for tracking and tracing. 

• Combined together, Cyemptive’s Patented and Patent-pending CyberSlice, CyberScan and CyberSLA Technologies,  provide a path to next generation superior cyber-hygiene.

   

Cyemptive Technologies (Fifth of Ten)

Best Zero Day Cyber Platform

• Cyemptive Perimeter Fortress

• Unlike the competition, Cyemptive’s patented technologies  protect against both known and unknown “Zero-Day” attacks.  Cyemptive’s automated solutions pre-emptively stop both known and unknown threats before or immediately after compromise, whereas human-dependent and AI solutions react and analyze only known threats after compromise has occurred.

• Cyemptive protects against threats such as Advanced Persistent Threats, Automated Threats, and Zero-Day attacks, including Supercomputer, Quantum Computing, and Artificial Intelligence Attacks.

• Superior cyber-hygiene includes all of the current industry best practices, while also establishing the next level of best practice by pre-emptively protecting against supercomputer, quantum, automated, persistent threats AND capturing and stopping Zero-Day, known and unknown attacks.

• Cyemptive provides the only solution that pre-emptively contains and eliminates attempted compromises within seconds.  No other cybersecurity company guarantees threat elimination within seconds to minutes from known and unknown Zero-Day attacks.

 

Cyemptive Technologies (Sixth of Ten)

Best Anti-Malware Solution

• Cyemptive Enterprise Scanner

• Cyemptive Enterprise Scanner (CES) uses Cyemptive’s CyberScan© technology to examine and fingerprint the data in files, identifying and eliminating both known and unknown threats at the file content level before they become a problem.  

• CES’s unique ability to correlate files containing malicious code with other “trigger” files, at massive scale, prevents sophisticated malware activation that others do not detect.  

• Traditional solutions fall short in effectiveness because they rely on static signatures, API monitoring, checksums, and white lists based on industry-reported known attacks only.  

• CES consistently outperforms competitors’ detection results by detecting, isolating and reporting on both industry-reported known PLUS Zero-Day malware variants of all types without false-positives reported by other cybersecurity solutions.  

• Exabyte scaling ensures the enterprise scanner for any size dataset and built-in self-healing enables maximum protection against malware at all layers of the attack surface.

• Cyemptive’s solutions capabilities can eliminate or reduce organizational risk, cost and reputation exposure while providing financial performance guarantees.

• All Cyemptive solutions are developed on and End-to-End Zero Trust framework while others use a vulnerable authentication Zero Trust model only, to take pre-emptive action and eliminate threats even if root or admin access is exposed. 

• Cyemptive’s automated solutions pre-emptively stop threats where human-dependent and AI solutions do not.  When Cyemptive’s solutions are implemented with our Defense-in-Depth blueprint, the pre-emptively protect entire computing environments for all three states of data: Data at Rest, Data in Use, and Data in Flight.

• Combined together, Cyemptive’s Patented and Patent-pending CyberSlice, CyberScan, and CyberSLA Technologies provide a path to next generation superior cyber-hygiene.

   

Cyemptive Technologies (Eighth of Ten)

Best Network Security Solution

• Cyemptive Perimeter Fortress

• Public clouds offer connectivity and ease of use for Networking (Data in Flight), Compute (Data in Use), and Storage (Data at Rest), however, since these services provide all types of data usage, they have inherent problems keeping data secure.

• Where is your data? Who has access to it? How can resources be secured? All public cloud access today is secured with Access Controls which do NOT completely secure data and satisfy the questions above.

• The Cyemptive Cloud Fortress (CCF) is a unique solution approach that can provide security at ALL levels of data use, with its complete Cloud Fortress solutions secure and protect public cloud resources starting with simple transparent services that soon can be transitioned into the highest levels of security for sensitive data and to protect intellectual property.

 

Cyemptive Technologies (Ninth of Ten)

Best Security Incident & Event Management Solution

• Cyemptive SIEM (CSM)

• The Cyemptive Security Information and Event Manger (CSM) solution is an active threat response system designed for security operations data collection, real-time action response, analysis, and alerting.  

• Today’s SIEMs are designed and built for static infrastructure with human response solutions.  Cyemptive changes the SIEM with threat extermination in seconds and SIEM technology to understand and real-time report on not only threats that were exterminated but threat tracing data with full correlation and isolation data timings within seconds to minutes from when the attack occurred.   

• The CSM solution is built on its CyberSlice© technology and implemented onsite or in our Security Operation Centers (SOC) including multiple layers of Defense in Depth (D-i-D) to ensure data is collected, stored, and processed securely with immutability.  

• Cyemptive uses patented technology and service offerings with End-to-End Zero Trust architecture to collect, secure, consolidate, analyze, and alert on unique sensor, telemetry, and log data from all Cyemptive solutions deployed in an organization’s environment.

• Since threats have been isolated and eliminated in seconds, we are able to provide precision-based, real-time SIEM analytics for rapid tracking, alerting, and reporting.

• Other solutions employ Cross”X” / eXtended Detection and Response (XDR) in an attempt to detect threats AFTER they are in the environment and Managed Detection and Response (MDR) to manage all the data collection AFTER the threats can infiltrate an environment along with managing false-positives due to static signatures, while Cyemptive can provide the data in real-time.
