Cynet Named Top 100 Channel Security Leader by CRN

Cynet’s XDR platform has been included in CRN’s 2023 Security 100 list honoring IT security leaders that deliver trailblazing, innovative technology to solution providers

Boston, MA, February 21, 2023 – Cynet, the world’s first provider of an autonomous, end-to-end, fully automated extended detection and response (XDR) platform, today announced it has been recognized by CRN as a leading IT channel security vendor and will be featured in the IT publication’s 2023 Security 100 list. This recognition cements Cynet as a channel leader in the extended detection and response security space, underscoring its ability to help lean security teams successfully protect their networks and systems regardless of their security team’s headcount, skills or resources.  

The CRN 2023 Security 100 List serves as a comprehensive guide for solution providers, identifying top security vendors that provide innovative solutions for the end user. Vendors are chosen by CRN editors and are based on channel-focused security offerings across five distinct categories: Identity Management and Data Protection; Endpoint and Managed Security; Network Security; Web, Email and Application Security; and Security Operations, Risk and Threat Intelligence. 

“With all the unexpected changes organizations have faced since the beginning of COVID-19, security still remains the most critical factor in business today. This year’s Security 100 list acknowledges industry-leading companies that deliver pioneering security offerings to the IT channel that can withstand a wide range of threats. These companies are laying the groundwork for the most advanced cybersecurity solutions,” said Blaine Raddon, CEO of The Channel Company. 

Owned by The Channel Company, CRN is a trusted media outlet for IT and security professionals, reporting on daily technology and channel news, events and trends. According to CRN, its Security 100 List gives solutions providers the insights they need so they know “where to place their bets” in the over-saturated market of cybersecurity platforms. 

“With security budgets tightening and security team headcounts diminishing, organizations need streamlined cybersecurity solutions they can count on to keep their networks safe and free of disruptions. From the start, we have focused our efforts on building a first-of-its-kind fully automated XDR solution,” said Eyal Gruner, Co-founder and CEO, Cynet. “Our top priority has always been to deliver a premier cybersecurity platform for small and mid-sized security teams so that they have the same security capabilities of enterprise organizations at an affordable price and without acquiring additional headcount. It is gratifying to know that such a highly respected source within the security industry not only recognizes what we have accomplished but has named us a leader.” 

Last year, Cynet launched its Global Partner and Distributor Partnership Programs, spanning across North America, Latin America, Europe and the Middle East. The company achieved a 200% expansion in its active partner base in 2022, received the CRN Emerging Vendors in Security accolades, and earned a 5-star rating in the CRN 2022 partner program guide.
