In an environment where organizations are striving to ensure cybersecurity, the significance of startups like Cymulate touches high bars. Cybercrime is a major roadblock to the success and growth of the companies these days. As the technologies touch new levels of potential and development, hackers find better ways to break through the defences. Hence, it becomes imperative that better strategies and systems are built to cope with this challenge. And this is exactly the reason why organizations are eager to invest in companies that have the potential to come up with effective solutions.
When it comes to fighting potential enemies and threats, the best way forward is to take stock of our own vulnerabilities and weaknesses. A solid understanding of our own low points will give us a better footing when it comes to fighting threats, so that the enemy cannot drag you down on account of that particular weakness. Cymulate offers exactly this to organizations, allowing them to run machine-based attack simulations on their networks. This enables the organizations to spot out the weak spots and vulnerable points. The platform also provides effective guidance and solutions for fixing the respective problem, thereby equipping the organization to face any potential challenges.

In other words, it doesn’t replace, rather it complements the w0rk done, adding to its efficiency and effectiveness.
According to Eyal Wachsman (CEO and co-founder),
“We do not replace- we bring back the power of the expert by validating security controls and checking whether everything is working correctly to optimize a company’s security posture.”
