incident response to Managed Security Service Providers.
This trend is distinct regardless of the organization’s cyber
maturity level and can be found across a wide range of cyber
maturity, from small companies with no dedicated security team to
enterprises with a fully equipped SOC.
The hands of the incident response service providers are
extremely busy, and the need from their side to scale while
maintaining top quality has never been greater.
To address this need, Cynet offers IR service providers to
collect data, analyze, investigate and remediate threats on their
customers’ environments with Cynet 360 platform for free,
introducing unmatched speed and reliability into their
operations.
Any incident responder can now simply sign up to
Cynet[1] and immediately get free
access to the platform.
“Cynet tackles the incident response play at its most fundamental
core – speed,” said Eyal Gruner, co-founder of Cynet.
“By harnessing Cynet 360’s lightspeed distribution
infrastructure, Cynet enables IR providers to get immediate
visibility into the entire environment they are accountable for
investigating, purging from it malicious presences and handing it
back to the customer, clean and ready for production.”
incident response background, Cynet 360 is, with no match, the
fastest incident response tool available on the market today, and
is now offering IR providers to use it for free.
Let us pause for a second to reflect on why speed is an IR
X-factor. In a typical scenario, a customer suspects they are under
attack. They don’t know where, when, or how – that’s why they
engage the IR service provider.
Assuming that the suspicion is true, every minute the attacker
has not been identified and removed is potential damage.
Hence, the IR provider is as good as its ability to declare the
environment clean of malicious activity, as quickly as possible.
The faster you can deliver the ‘restored’ stamp, the better you
are.
However, as most IR providers can tell you, executing this task
with speed is far from trivial, as it entails gaining visibility
and conducting a thorough investigation into the entire
environment, which can comprise thousands of endpoints, user
accounts, and derived network traffic.
Unfortunately, the toolset IR providers typically have at their
disposal entails manual and time-consuming workflows.
This is where Cynet steps in with the enterprise-ready
infrastructure of Cynet 360. Cynet 360 was purpose-built to
seamlessly deploy within minutes, across thousands of
endpoints.
For the incident responder, this means gaining immediate
visibility into the entire environment in one shot – visibility,
which otherwise could be achieved only by manually installing tools
on each endpoint.
Using Cynet 360 introduces unmatched speed and reliability into
the IR workflow, providing the following:
- Immediate time-to-value – the IR provider is on board to
take a suspicious environment and return it after validating there
is neither malicious presence or activity. Cynet 360 boosts the
speed and reliability of this process, enabling the IR provider to
deliver faster and scale its operations. - 60 minutes to full visibility – Cynet 360 automates the
collection of incident data, its correlation, and analysis, and
automates event prioritization and focus by assigning a live risk
score to all hosts, processes, user accounts, and network
destinations. - Active Threats Detection – if there is indeed an
attacker in the network, Cynet will automatically raise a real-time
alert upon malicious file execution, attacker-controlled traffic,
and other post-compromise malicious actions. - Threat removal – an environment under attack requires a
multitude of types of remediation actions to declare it secure
again. Cynet provides the largest remediation toolset to apply on
infected endpoints, malicious processes/files, compromised user
accounts, and attacker-controlled traffic.

“We are throwing a bomb here,” said Gruner, “handing out a free
tool that is an actual game-changer. Just think of the
possibilities that it opens in terms of the incident volume an IR
team can handle. We’re looking forward to mass adoption of the IR
part of Cynet 360 – another disruption of the cybersecurity
equation, in favor of the good guys.”
