Founded in 2013 by Omer Schneider and Nir Giller — military cyber experts with nation-state expertise defending critical infrastructure — CyberX provides an IIoT and industrial control system (ICS) threat monitoring and risk mitigation platform to Global 2000 enterprises across all critical infrastructure verticals, including energy & utilities, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, oil & gas, and manufacturing.
The company’s platform incorporates ICS-specific self-learning that enables it to deliver accurate insights in less than an hour, without relying on rules, specialized skills, or any prior knowledge of the environment. To eliminate any impact on the operational network, the platform uses passive, non-invasive, agentless monitoring. Specialized M2M behavioral analytics and proprietary Network Traffic Analysis (NTA) algorithms enable security teams to continuously detect, respond to, predict, and prevent threats to critical infrastructure networks.
