Jerusalem, 7 January, 2025 (TPS-IL) — Cymulate, a New York-based cybersecurity company, announced the acquisition of CYNC Secure, an Israel-based cybersecurity startup specializing in operational efficiency for exposure management programs.

This move is set to enhance Cymulate’s Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) platform, slated for launch in 2025. CYNC Secure’s approach to consolidating diverse vulnerability datasets will be a cornerstone of Cymulate’s platform, the company said.

Businesses are grappling with expanding attack surfaces, escalating threats and limited resources. But only 5% of vulnerabilities are patched monthly. Cymulate’s platform aims to address these challenges by emphasizing proof of exploitability, enabling organizations to prioritize and remediate vulnerabilities more effectively.

“Security teams are recognizing the importance of validating vulnerabilities, threats, and security controls for effective exposure management,” said Eyal Wachsman, CEO and co-founder of Cymulate. “The addition of CYNC Secure’s capabilities will improve operational efficiency across the entire cycle, including synchronization of validation workflows, asset mapping, and exposure discovery.”

Founded in 2022, the Holon-based CYNC Secure has gained traction for its ability to streamline data collection and normalization across a wide range of security tools. By integrating artificial intelligence, the company provides actionable insights that prioritize vulnerabilities based on their risk and impact.

As part of the acquisition, CYNC Secure’s leadership and development team will merge with Cymulate. Meir Abergel, CYNC Secure’s co-founder and CEO, will join Cymulate as Vice President of Business Development and Alliances. Abergel will focus on fostering partnerships, developing new use cases, and bringing innovative solutions to market.

“Cymulate’s approach to continuous security validation aligns perfectly with CYNC’s operational focus,” Abergel said. “Together, we will accelerate value realization for customers adopting CTEM programs, addressing real-world cybersecurity challenges with a shared commitment to innovation.”
