Our take
A variety of prevalent cybersecurity threats means that companies must use a vast range of complex threat detection and prevention software, and this is becoming costly and complicated.
Cynet provides solutions to this problem by integrating multiple security controls into a unified and autonomous XDR platform. The software does not require staff to operate it and is supported by a 24/7 detection and response service.
The company is producing solutions in a market with a vast number of competitors. However, Cynet’s aim of providing unified and automated cybersecurity within one XDR platform sets it apart and attracts both big and small companies. The release of its mobile threat protection "Cynet 360 Mobile" is another step in the right direction for the company's innovative future.
