CyGlass Wins Best SME Security Solution at SC Awards Europe 2021 for Network Defence as Service
June 2021 by Marc Jacob
CyGlass has been named Best SME Security Solution and a Finalist in the category for Best Behaviour Analytics/Enterprise Threat Detection at the SC Awards Europe 2021. Sponsored by SC Media UK, the awards recognise the best solutions for customers and the security sector as a whole.
The CyGlass NDaaS platform uses AI and machine learning to learn and analyze user and network behaviours wherever they emerge: the cloud, Active Directory, VPNs, firewalls, and network devices. It allows small teams to detect and respond to threats across on-premise and cloud users, devices, and both cloud and network services. With CyGlass NDaaS, IT and security managers can see risk, stop threats, and prove compliance across their entire hybrid networks.
According to the judges, which include CISOs, heads of IT/risk management CEOs and CIOs from organisations such as Lloyds Banking Group, Thales, BT, McAfee, Microsoft and more, “CyGlass is a disruptive player opening up ‘network defence as a service’ at an affordable price point for SMEs. This means those SMEs may then have more access to market.” The panel also liked the company’s “relatively lean distribution via partners model, which has allowed it to expand its growth and market reach.”
Unlike other network security solutions, CyGlass NDaaS identifies, detects, and responds to threats on the network without any additional hardware, software, or people. This ensures the total cost of ownership (TCO) remains very low. CyGlass can be up and running in minutes and maintains a low false-positive rate through the use of AI. This further reduces the TCO since limited security and IT staff are not distracted or overburdened with alerts. The CyGlass platform offers full enterprise scalability as it continuously analyzes billions of conversations on a company’s network to learn what’s normal and what is not.
Said CyGlass President Ed Jackowiak, “We’re very proud to be selected as both best SME solution and a finalist in the category of Best Behaviour Analytics/Enterprise Threat Detection amongst outstanding companies like Extrahop, Exabeam and AwareGO. Because CyGlass is delivered 100% through a network of more than 100 global reseller partners, including Ingram Micro, One Distribution, Exclusive Networks and Intercity, we have been able to rapidly accelerate our deployments with significant traction in public sector local government as well as energy, regional banks, the legal industry and more.”
