DeCYFIR provides quality intelligence which is relevant to the client's specific industry, geography, and technology. The platform has the unique capabilities to connect the dots between hackers, exploit campaigns, motivations, and attack readiness. This provides the enterprise a complete contextual analysis of its threat landscape.
"We're excited to be recognized as one of the top 100 cybersecurity start-ups by the prestigious publication, Cyber Defence Magazine. This award is testament of our effort to bring a new way of looking at cyber-intelligence into the market. We know the conventional way of solving cybersecurity challenges with perimeter defence is neither efficient nor effective. In the post-pandemic 'new normal', our intelligence-driven approach will help close the digital risk gap with predictive and personalized intelligence so that enterprises can fend off imminent attacks, and embark confidently on their digital transformation journeys," Kumar Ritesh, Founder and CEO, CYFIRMA.
