The global supply chain has become an increasingly attractive target to cyber attackers as it provides the potential for large-scale extortion, often running into millions of dollars, and damaging reputation.
“We are at a critical moment in the market, with a lot of technology changes and also tougher regulatory requirements. This new round will enable Cydome to expand its market presence and operations globally,” said Nir Ayalon, Cydome CEO.
Cydome was established three years ago and its cyber risk management solution is designed and built specifically to address maritime needs. It covers asset, vessel and fleet visibility and real-time protection, along with regulation compliance and AI/ML algorithms that were trained specifically on maritime data.
