Cymptom was founded in 2019 and is led by Israeli Defense Force veterans and white hat hackers. The terms of the deal were not disclosed and the acquisition is expected to close in the first quarter of 2022.
Nico Popp, chief product officer, Tenable, explained, “Risk prioritisation has become a cornerstone of modern cybersecurity. By correlating software vulnerabilities and misconfigurations with network and access data, Cymptom can immediately identify exploitable attack and breach pathways.
“Following closing of the deal, these compelling analytics will be integrated into tenable’s exposure platform and augment the prioritisation, benchmarking, trending and other capabilities.”
After closing, Cymptom’s agentless platform will be integrated into Tenable’s threat and vulnerability data. Attack path analysis will bring additional context and prioritisation capabilities to Tenable’s platform, with a unified view of assets and vulnerabilities.
Itamar Mizrahi, CEO, Cymptom, added, “Cymptom and Tenable share a common vision that modern vulnerability management combined with a deep and sophisticated understanding of attackers’ perspectives is a powerful weapon in stopping breaches and reducing risk to the enterprise.
“We are excited to accelerate our mission and eager to work with Tenable’s global team.”
