Our take
Flexible working, increased accessibility and reduced IT infrastructure requirements have made made the cloud far more vital than ever before to businesses hoping to remain competitive. However, cyber attackers are able to exploit the numerous security gaps that can be caused by misconfigured permissions, software vulnerabilities and simple human error. XM Cyber seeks to eliminate these threats by offering a platform which simulates all ways a client can be attacked and providing actionable, real-time information to the company's IT and security teams.
Founded in 2016 by national security specialists, the company is set apart from its competitors by focusing on attack path management, looking to detect security issues before they occur, especially misconfigurations and permissions flaws. The platform is compatible with major cloud environments such as AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. Their proactive approach seems to be appreciated by major players such as Swisscom, the Hamburg Port Authority, and Lidl who have adopted XM Cyber for their cyber security.
XM Cyber was acquired by Schwarz Group, who are also the owners of brands like Lidl and Kaufland. Although Schwarz is not a technology corporation, their financial backing has allowed XM Cyber to focus on product development, scale and international expansion. Recently XM Cyber has in turn bought Cyber Observer, bringing its continuous control monitoring capabilities into the platform
