Description

The company offers cybersecurity software, including MazeRunner and ActiveSOC, that can detect and prevent cyber-attacks without generating false alarms. Cymmetria's deception products enable organizations to customize deception technologies for their business environment, giving them increased visibility and the ability to hunt attackers, detect lateral movement, automate incident response, and mitigate attacks. Founded in 2014 by security expert Gadi Evron, Cymmetria is changing the asymmetry of cybersecurity by tilting the traditional security odds so that hackers are the ones who are left vulnerable.
