Cyware: Staying safe in a digital world

The pandemic has created an urgent shift to digital, and threat intelligence solution firm Cyware is doing its bit to keep companies safe and secure. A new-age security firm that was founded in 2016 by Akshat Jain and Anuj Goel, Cyware helps enterprise cybersecurity teams build platform-agnostic virtual cyber fusion centres. “It is the industry’s only provider of virtual cyber fusion platform that combines next-generation threat intelligence and security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) technologies to deliver the collective defense and visibility security operations teams need to work collaboratively and better protect their organisations from advanced attacks,” claims Jain, the company’s CTO and co-founder.

Jain has earlier led the development of technology solutions for large organisations such as Oracle and Adobe, whereas Goel, who previously was heading Global Cyber Strategy and Planning at Citi, New York, has an impressive pedigree in steering large security teams. “We realised the increasing gaps in the capabilities of security teams against modern shape-shifting cyber adversaries who are well-funded and resourced to successfully target even the most secure organisations,” says Jain. The gaps stem from the way security teams have been structured and how their technology is configured. “We found that the majority of teams lack a fundamental understanding of their organisation’s threat landscape, forcing them to operate in a reactive-only capacity amid their siloed domains and strategies,” he informs.
