“2021 was the Year of Ransomware with cybercrime reaching an all time high,” said Eyal Wachsman, CEO and co-founder of Cymulate. “We can expect a continuation in these attacks in 2022 with a specific focus on supply chain attacks, however we are also seeing a positive trend in that decision makers at the business level are starting to pay attention and proactively seek solutions to mitigate damages. The result has impacted Cymulate with our solid growth continuing year-over-year. We have grown our stellar team tremendously, and we look forward to expanding both our team and services in 2022.”

The company’s shift to XPSM followed several product launches including a customizable, template-driven platform that enables security service providers to craft, automate and deliver purple teaming exercises to help their enterprise customers actively protect their networks.
