CYFIRMA competed against many of the industry’s hot start-ups in cybersecurity for this prestigious award. Cyber Defence Magazine searched the globe and found over 3200 cybersecurity companies. Nearly 30 per cent of these companies are in the start-up phase having been incorporated within the last 36 months or released their first round of innovative cybersecurity products and services.
“We’re pleased to name CYFIRMA as a winner among the Top 100 Cybersecurity Start-Ups for 2020 in our second annual Black Unicorn awards. The Black Unicorn awards recognize companies who have reached or have the potential to attain US$1B valuation.

CYFIRMA’s flagship product, DeCYFIR, empowers organizations to identify potential threats at the planning stage of cyberattacks. The platform picks up threat indicators as observed in deep/dark web, hackers’ forums, and other closed communities, and predicts upcoming attacks based on a set of probability models and analytical engines.
DeCYFIR provides quality intelligence which is relevant to the client’s specific industry, geography, and technology. The platform has the unique capabilities to connect the dots between hackers, exploit campaigns, motivations, and attack readiness. This provides the enterprise a complete contextual analysis of its threat landscape.
“We’re excited to be recognized as one of the top 100 cybersecurity start-ups by the prestigious publication, Cyber Defence Magazine. This award is testament of our effort to bring a new way of looking at cyber-intelligence into the market. We know the conventional way of solving cybersecurity challenges with perimeter defence is neither efficient nor effective. In the post-pandemic ‘new normal’, our intelligence-driven approach will help close the digital risk gap with predictive and personalized intelligence so that enterprises can fend off imminent attacks, and embark confidently on their digital transformation journeys,” Kumar Ritesh, Founder and CEO, CYFIRMA.
