CyCognito

CyCognito empowers companies to take full control over their attack surface by uncovering and eliminating the critical security risks they didn’t even know existed. Every organization contains countless points of entry across an ever-changing attack landscape, many of which they aren’t even aware of.  But one single weak spot is all it takes for attackers to get in the door. So how can security teams possibly eliminate every single point of entry, when their security tools can’t even see all of them?   We use intelligence-agency scale reconnaissance and a keen understanding of hacker techniques to help organizations uncover their shadow risk and protect their entire attack surface before attackers have a chance to exploit the gaps. We believe all organizations should be able to protect themselves from even the most sophisticated attackers. That’s why we created the first ever Attack Surface Protection platform, putting nation-state grade cyber reconnaissance techniques into the hands of every organization.

Waterfall Security Solutions Ltd

Waterfall Security Solutions Ltd. Privately-owned since 2007, Waterfall Security has focused on protecting critical infrastructure and industrial control systems from online cyberattacks, becoming the leading cybersecurity vendor for industrial control systems (ICS) perimeter security. Waterfall Security’s technology enables safe and reliable IT/OT integration, remote monitoring and diagnostics, and advanced cloud services. Over the course of the last 30 years, connecting industrial control systems to the Internet and IT networks has become an essential part of business operations. This added connectivity provides many advantages to industrial engineers and to businesses overall, enabling real-time visibility into production systems and information. The emerging wave of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has taken hold, promising unparalleled growth and performance gains to industrial systems. However, the additional interconnectivity of numerous sensors and devices, greatly increases the potential attack surface for cyber crime, and the vulnerability of every connected industrial site. In addition, there has been a rapid growth both in the ‘class’ of attackers, as well as in their motivations to do harm. Modern attacks aim to disrupt production, cause downtime, demand ransomware, damage equipment, trigger environmental incidents, harm a company’s brand or target human lives.
