The CYDEF story

Everyone should feel safe to do business online

Threat detection
like no other

Of the numerous cybersecurity benefits that CYDEF brings to your organization, what distinguishes our solution is our approach to identifying attacks. Our technology resides on all computers and servers within your organization and asks a simple question: Is this activity we expect to see in a typical business environment? Every time we answer “NO”, our security team investigates to determine whether it’s a severe security threat, such as a ransomware attack. If so, we respond swiftly and accordingly.

OUR ORIGINS

Learn what makes CYDEF truly unique

How we’re different

When our system identifies new activity — meaning no other system has performed that specific activity before — it gets verified by an analyst who verifies whether the activity should be classified as normal or potentially dangerous.

As these classifications are made, they’re stored in a repository that applies to all CYDEF customers. Over time, the frequency of ‘new’ activity diminishes, making our system exponentially more efficient with every new device we protect.

We were looking for additional coverage from the increasing threats of ransomware and malware. The peace of mind in having an additional layer of protection, coupled with the unique approach CYDEF uses, led us to give them a try. The SolarWinds supply chain attack really made us look at what we’re currently doing and what else might be out there to help us stay secure.

Our experience with CYDEF has been excellent. They took the time to get to know us and garnered trust by working with us to tune their software to our environment. They committed time and resources to us in the beginning where few other vendors have done so. Their product does what they say it does and has easily fit into our infrastructure without taxing resources both human and technical on our side.
