Founded in Silicon Valley, CYGNVS introduced the industry’s first guided cyber crisis response platform, a secure out of band command center that enables organizations to coordinate response even when primary networks, systems, or communications are compromised. By converting static incident response plans into live guided operational workflows, CYGNVS enables organizations to move from chaos to coordinated action during the most critical moments of a cyber crisis.
