Cynet is offering unhappy competitors’ customers a refund for the time remaining on existing contracts

Cynet goes head-to-head with CrowdStrike, DarkTrace, Cylance,
Carbon Black & Symantec, offering their unhappy customers a refund
for the time remaining on their existing contracts.

Cynet, the automated threat discovery and mitigation platform was
built to address the advanced threats that AV and Firewalls cannot
stop.

Today, Cynet announced that any organization currently deploying
an advanced security solution from the list below who are unhappy
with it and up for renewal in 2019 – can try Cynet for
free^[1] here.

If they decide to switch to Cynet – they will be reimbursed for
the remaining contract with the previous security vendor.

The Cynet offer is relevant to companies that have at least 300
endpoints and are currently customers of any of the following
solutions: Crowdstrike / Carbon Black / Darktrace / Cylance /
Symantec / Fire Eye Endpoint Protection / SentinelOne / Cybereason
/ CISCO AMP / Trend Micro Apex / Palo Alto Networks Traps.

What makes Cynet so sure that it’s better than its
competitors?

According to Cynet, the answer lies in its fundamental
architecture and its approach and is demonstrated in two main
areas: Threat Coverage and Automation.

First Pain: Insufficient Threat Coverage

While its competitors – endpoint solutions and network analytics
alike – are built to address a subset of attack vectors that target
part of the attack surface, Cynet was designed from the ground up
to address all threat vectors, throughout all attack stages, across
the entire environment.

An example would serve well to illustrate the difference.

Many organizations turn to EDR to close the advanced threat gap.
At first impression that makes sense – EDRs claim do address the
silent threats that are able to evade standard defenses and conduct
persistent activity inside the targeted organizations.

However, EDRs, as the name implies, focus on the endpoint:
monitoring process execution, file, system and registry
modification, and so on.

However, they are blind to any activity that doesn’t involve an
explicit malicious process – for example, a user remotely logging
in to a company resource, outside of working hours, or a
network-based attack – whether credential harvesting through DNS
responder, or data exfiltration utilizing legitimate protocols.

An organization’s attack surface is much broader than only its
endpoint.

Similarly, relying on network analytics tools also provides
partial value. While analyzing network traffic can reveal
indications of an active attack taking place, such tools lack
visibility to malicious activity executing on the endpoint itself,
let alone the ability to prevent it altogether.

Second Pain: Manual Burden

EDR, as well as network analytics tools, focus on detection of
threats. EDR alerts entail manual operation of triage,
investigation, and remediation. This manual operation can yield
security only when operated by a skilled and well-staffed security
team.

Qualifying security analysts are both expensive and hard to
find, making EDR’s value questionable for most to all of their
users – unless the EDR vendor provides additional security services
and the organization is charged to have their EDR operated by the
vendor’s in-house experts.

Why is Cynet Better?

Cynet is not subject to these security gaps since it provides 360
visibility and protection across the entire environment –
monitoring users logging in and out, executing processes, and
monitoring internal and external network communication and host
behavior. Regarding the manual operation pain point, Cynet does not
merely detect advanced threats, but blocks them all together, with
built-in auto-remediation dramatically decreasing the time invested
in manual interaction with the product.

Threat Coverage and Security Automation are in High Demand

So, Cynet believes that many EDR or network analytics customers are
actively experiencing at least one of these two pains: insufficient
threat coverage and being overrun by manual operation.

To these organizations, Cynet provides the opportunity to gain
immediate, comprehensive and automated breach protection, while
Cynet refunds them the remainder of their time with their previous
security vendor.
