Cymulate announced
the acquisition of CYNC Secure, an Israel-based cybersecurity startup
focused on improving operational efficiency for exposure management
programs. This strategic acquisition will accelerate time-to-market for
the comprehensive Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) platform
that Cymulate will launch in 2025, incorporating CYNC Secure’s unique
approach to consolidating diverse vulnerability datasets.
Security operations teams are challenged with an expanding attack
surface, a growing number of threats and resource limitations. The
result of this complexity is that only 5%
of vulnerabilities are being patched each month. The Cymulate platform
will bring focus to proof of exploitability in a simple, scalable manner
so that remediation decisions can be most effective.
“Security teams are increasingly recognizing that validation of
vulnerabilities, threats and security controls is the key to effective
exposure management,” said Eyal Wachsman, CEO and Co-founder of Cymulate. “But
there is room for improvement in the market for solutions that improve
operational efficiency of the entire cycle. This includes
synchronization of validation workflows with asset mapping and exposure
discovery, as well as leveraging the results for remediation
prioritization. CYNC Secure and Cymulate share this core mission.”
Founded in 2022, CYNC Secure empowers security teams to address risks
efficiently, reducing complexity and streamlining the collection and
normalization of data from a wide range of security solutions. CYNC
Secure integrates with multiple tools, standardizing security data and
using it to provide actionable insights that prioritize vulnerabilities
based on risk and impact. By leveraging artificial intelligence, CYNC
Secure turns these insights into accessible and actionable
recommendations tailored to the specific context of each organization.
The Cymulate exposure validation platform allows companies to understand
their resilience to threats. By adding capabilities from CYNC, like
aggregating vulnerabilities from various sources, organizations will now
have the ability to implement a unique, contextual exposure management
program that will:
- Accelerate integrations
- Expand to cloud-native web application vulnerabilities
- Aggregate exposures
- Translate exposures into tasks and remediation plans
As part of the agreement, CYNC Secure’s core development and leadership
team will merge with Cymulate, including its co-founder and CEO, Meir Abergel,
who joins as vice president of Business Development and Alliances. In
this role, Abergel will identify and build partnerships with brands,
develop new use cases and bring new solutions to the market.
“Cymulate’s approach to continuous security validation is a perfect match for CYNC’s operational focus,” said Abergel. “The
Cymulate platform’s ability to simulate real-world threats to help
organizations test and validate their security posture complements
CYNC’s data centralization and remediation workflows beautifully.
Bringing the companies together will allow us to accelerate value
realization for customers adopting CTEM programs. With our joint
commitment to customer-first innovation, this partnership is an
opportunity for two companies with shared values and goals to address
real-world needs and challenges.”
