Cynet Security

Cynet Security is an Israeli cybersecurity company that built an autonomous breach-protection platform aimed at small and mid-sized organizations. The company was founded by Eyal Gruner, who previously co-founded Versafe, a cybersecurity company acquired by F5 Networks. Cynet is headquartered in Israel and also maintains a presence in the United States.

Cynet's primary product is Cynet 360, positioned as an Autonomous Breach Protection platform. It consolidates EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response), UEBA (User and Entity Behavior Analytics), network traffic analytics, and SOAR (Security Orchestration, Automation and Response) into a single offering. The primary target buyer is mid-market organizations that lack a large in-house SOC, because the platform is designed to deliver automated detection and response without requiring continuous manual analysis. The dominant sales motion runs through MSSP (Managed Security Service Provider) channel partners, enabling managed service providers to deliver the platform to their end customers.

Cynet 360 integrates four layers: endpoint protection, network monitoring, user-behavior analytics, and automated response tooling. Alongside the platform, Cynet offers CyOps — a 24/7 MDR (Managed Detection and Response) service staffed by Cynet's own security analysts, provided to platform customers at no additional charge. Bundling MDR into the product rather than selling it as a paid add-on is one of the company's defining go-to-market choices.

Cynet competes in the XDR and EDR market against vendors such as CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and Microsoft Defender at the enterprise end, but its core positioning targets the mid-market segment where it also competes with Huntress and Datto EDR. The competitive differentiation Cynet emphasizes is the full-stack XDR toolset bundled with an integrated MDR service at a price point accessible to organizations without a dedicated SOC.

Cynet centers its R&D activities in Israel. Founder Eyal Gruner is Israeli. Detailed public information on Israel headcount, company valuation, specific funding rounds, or named customer references is limited.
