Our take
Cyber attackers can cause huge damage to a business and they work fast, but identifying and resolving a cyber breach can take months. This is due to a lack of visibility and testing within a tech stack making it difficult for engineers to know where to focus their efforts, resulting in inefficient and time-consuming trial and error.
CyCognito provides a cyber threat detection and risk management platform for businesses, focusing on providing cybersecurity teams with full visibility into their entire extended IT ecosystem. The company differentiates itself with its approach to put users in the shoes of an attacker, allowing them to identify and prioritize high-risk security gaps and understand how to remediate them fast.
Whilst the company will face competition from a vast number of cybersecurity platforms, CyCognito stands out with its unique focus on IT stack visibility and risk prioritization. By focusing on these roots, the company claims to help businesses gain a more holistic understanding of its cybersecurity stack, understand what should take priority, and how to prevent future breaches. With more than $150 million in funding raised, its unique approach to cybersecurity appears to be paying off.
