NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

CYGNVS is redefining cyber resilience through a fundamentally new approach to cyber crisis response. While traditional cybersecurity solutions focus primarily on preventing attacks, CYGNVS addresses a critical reality: when cyber incidents occur, organizations must coordinate complex operational, legal, technical, and executive decisions quickly and securely. CYGNVS brings structure, intelligence, and resilience to that moment.

Founded in Silicon Valley, CYGNVS introduced the industry’s first guided cyber crisis response platform, built on a patented out of band architecture that allows organizations to coordinate incident response even when primary networks, systems, or communications are compromised. This secure crisis command center enables organizations to continue operating during an attack and transform static incident response plans into live guided workflows.

Unlike traditional tools that rely on fragmented integrations, CYGNVS is the only platform designed with all critical crisis response capabilities built directly into a single environment. Video conferencing, secure communications, file storage, digital signatures, workflow orchestration, and collaboration tools are all native to the platform. This eliminates the need to rely on external systems that may be unavailable or compromised during an incident.

Innovation Leadership

In February 2026, CYGNVS introduced the industry’s first AI model dedicated to cyber incident response, trained on insights from more than 2,500 anonymized real world cyber incidents. Unlike general purpose AI tools, this model is purpose built to assist organizations during active cyber crises. It helps response teams rapidly assess situations, recommend next steps, and accelerate decision making during high pressure incidents.

By combining AI intelligence with guided response workflows and secure collaboration, CYGNVS enables organizations to respond faster and more effectively when every minute matters.

Key Achievements

• Adoption by thousands of organizations globally, including Fortune 500 companies, cyber insurers, and leading incident response firms
• $55 million in funding led by Andreessen Horowitz, validating strong market confidence in CYGNVS innovation and leadership
• Customers reducing incident response mobilization times from days to less than one hour

Industry Impact

CYGNVS is helping define the emerging Cybersecurity Incident Response Management category, recognized by Gartner as a new class of solutions designed to coordinate the complex cross functional response required during modern cyber incidents. CYGNVS is among the first vendors cited in Gartner research discussing this category.

By combining patented resilience architecture, integrated crisis coordination, and purpose built AI, CYGNVS is transforming cyber incident response into a coordinated, intelligent operation.
