Cyble is at the forefront of revolutionizing cybersecurity, leveraging advanced AI in its innovative offerings. The cybersecurity company recently completed a successful Series B funding round, raising $30.2 million to fuel its expansion into global markets, bolster R&D and more.
In July 2023, Cyble secured a significant $24 million in the initial tranche of its Series B funding. Summit Peak Ventures (U.S.) and King River Capital (U.S.) spearheaded the funding initiative, featuring contributions from BlackBird Ventures (Australasia), along with other key investors. The collective support affirmed widespread confidence in Cyble’s strategy and potential, showing that innovative companies can attract funding even in challenging financial climates.
The evolution of Cyble from a college project at Columbia Business School and London Business School by friends and co-founders Beenu Arora and Manish Chachada to a leading innovator in cybersecurity highlights the transformative impact of AI in the industry.
Democratizing dark web threat intelligence for individuals
Recognizing the critical need for individuals to understand their personal data exposure on the dark web, Cyble launched AmIBreached. This dedicated dark web search engine was Cyble’s proactive measure to address the escalating concerns over data privacy and security, alerting users to any personal information — such as emails, passwords and sensitive details — that had been compromised.
By launching AmIBreached for free, Cyble reinforced its dedication to accessible cybersecurity, empowering individuals with knowledge of their dark web exposure. This initiative ensures users are quickly alerted to breaches, enabling prompt actions to protect their digital identities.
A vision that began with Cyble Vision
What pushes Cyble forward as an AI-driven vanguard of cyber threat intelligence is Cyble Vision. Cyble Vision stands at the forefront of cyber threat intelligence, leveraging the prowess of AI to offer organizations a comprehensive and unified view of their external threat landscape.
This AI-powered platform excels in aggregating and analyzing data from the dark web, deep web and surface web, providing actionable insights into potential cyber threats. With the capability to process billions of dark web records and monitor millions of pages each day, Cyble Vision’s AI algorithms are finely tuned to detect, analyze and understand cybercriminal behavior through the continuous monitoring of over 5,000 cybercrime sources and threat actors.
Integration with existing security infrastructures is a key feature of Cyble Vision, enhancing the functionality of SIEM (Security Information and Event Management) and SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response) systems through AI-driven insights.
The seamless integration facilitates real-time intelligence, enabling security teams to respond swiftly and efficiently to incidents, thereby minimizing the impact of cyber attacks. The platform’s AI capabilities extend to incident response, offering quick identification and strategic response options to mitigate damage and accelerate recovery.
Additionally, Cyble Vision’s AI enhances vulnerability management by providing a real-time view of exploitable vulnerabilities, allowing for real-time dark web monitoring and strategic defense against potential breaches. As the preferred cybersecurity partner for global enterprises, including several Fortune 500 companies, Cyble Vision’s AI-driven approach is revolutionizing how organizations strengthen their cybersecurity posture.
Cyble Vision offers 24/7 cyber threat monitoring and comprehensive third-party security risk management. It leverages AI to predict and protect against threats and integrates seamlessly with existing cybersecurity measures, enhancing overall digital defense.
Extending protections to government agencies
Cyble’s other notable offering is Cyble Hawk. Cyble Hawk stands as a sentinel for government, law enforcement and national defense agencies. It is a specialized cyber threat intelligence platform designed to combat state-sponsored cyber espionage, sabotage and intellectual property theft that targets the very heart of national security: government and military networks, as well as Critical Information Infrastructure (CII).
This platform is not just another tool; it’s a dedicated sentinel, equipped with the capability to detect and analyze cyber espionage, sabotage and intellectual property theft, as well as vulnerabilities within the supply chain ecosystem.
At the core of Cyble Hawk’s offering is a fusion of intelligence from Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) and proprietary enhanced Intelligence and Investigation techniques. This blend ensures a comprehensive intelligence picture, not limited to publicly available information but enriched with deep insights from expert analyses. The platform employs advanced Deep Learning algorithms, a subset of AI, to identify and track threats and threat actors from known sources, ensuring that the intelligence provided is not just broad but also deep and actionable.
Cyble Hawk extends its capabilities by incorporating threat intelligence analysts who act as an extended arm of the organization. These analysts bring with them profound experience and expertise in the geopolitical, military, cyber-physical and homeland security landscapes.
Acqui-hiring the fastest-growing cybersecurity news publication
Cyble acqui-hired The Cyber Express to consolidate expertise in the cybersecurity domain. The move transformed The Cyber Express by Cyble into a comprehensive resource, offering news, updates, in-depth knowledge, a digital cybersecurity magazine, webinars, interviews and events.
