Our take
As cyber attacks become increasingly complex, especially in the mode of ransomware, companies such as Halcyon are becoming an ever more important weapon in the fight for cybersecurity. Though only formed in 2021, its founders have extensive experience as researchers at cybersecurity unicorn Cylance, amongst other notable companies in the sector.
Halcyon’s product stands out from similar - and abundant - offerings thanks to its melding of multi-proprietary advanced prevention engines and AI models designed specifically to seek out and destroy ransomware threats. It's the flexibility and reactivity of these two multi-tiered facets that have made Halcyon a trusted partner for companies on the Forbes Global 2000 list.
With significant funding behind it, Halcyon will ramp up the development of its platform's features and continue expanding its customer base.
