What is CYBR?
CYBR is a revolutionary new cybersecurity ecosystem designed around the latest advances in blockchain technology. The crypto and blockchain industries are developing rapidly, and companies are leaving themselves vulnerable to attacks that could cost millions of dollars. For example, a single attack on CoinCheck in 2018 resulted in losses of more than $500 million USD.
The CYBR Ecosystem is made up of multiple proprietary systems which protect the integrity of smart contract transactions, recognize and neutralize threats, and identify security flaws in almost any IP-enabled device. Here’s how each component works:
CYBRScan
CYBRscan improves upon traditional security methods like anti-virus and anti-malware programs, creating a robust security system that can address vulnerabilities specific to blockchain technology. In addition to protecting against threats common to any online device, CYBRScan prevents attacks that target cryptocurrency transactions, wallets, and smart contracts. CYBRScan can be affordably implemented on the individual or enterprise level.
BlindSpot
BlindSpot is CYBR’s threat identification protocol. BlindSpot uses an advanced combination of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and fuzzy logic to recognize even partial implementations of malicious code. Most cyberattacks occur days, weeks, or even months after initial penetration. BlindSpot recognizes the “fingerprints” caused by such penetrations, allowing the threat to be neutralized before an attack even begins.
Threat Identification
Hackers will always be working to stay one step ahead of cybersecurity experts. CYBR rewards its users and industry professionals for identifying new threats before they attack.
The CYBR Portal
CYBR users manage their devices through the CYBR Portal, a cloud-based solution that’s designed to support individual users or global enterprises. Through the CYBR Portal, users can manage their own security, identify at-risk devices, and access information on the latest threats identified around the globe.
When combined, these components provide a state-of-the-art cybersecurity suite that can learn and adapt to new threats and vulnerabilities. As more industries begin to make use of private and public blockchain technology, the need for CYBR’s security solutions will grow exponentially.
