There is a reason why cybersecurity startups are so valuable today. Hackers are not only motivated by money or politics. They often just like being malicious. So even small companies need to be on their guard and be sure to properly protect their systems.

“Cymulate saw a 50% increase in the number of unique attacks in the wild in 2020, and as APT groups are becoming increasingly aggressive and disruptive, there is a real need for companies to run daily or weekly assessments of their security posture. A loss of customer trust due to the fallout of a major attack is extremely hard to regain,” said Eyal Wachsman, CEO and co-founder of Cymulate. “This Series C funding is yet another vote of confidence in Cymulate and will enable us to expand our reach across the globe at a faster pace and continue our vision to be the largest and most comprehensive consultant-free security validation company”.
Cymulate’s SaaS-based Continuous Security Validation platform plays a critical role in empowering organizations to automatically assess and improve their overall security posture. Simulations of the latest threats in the wild test an organization’s security defenses and controls, across the entire kill chain of attack vectors and APT attack configurations, individually and interconnected. Simulations can run on-demand or be scheduled to run at regular intervals, with either an out-of-the-box option or customized by more advanced security professionals. Within minutes, the platform provides specific, actionable insights and data on where a company’s network is vulnerable, highlighting security gaps and mitigation procedures to optimize the security posture.
