What is Cydarm?
Cydarm's Cyber Response Management platform provides a whole-of-business approach to security operations.
Designed to support a constantly changing landscape, Cydarm provides capabilities that cover a comprehensive set of needs for security operations teams. These include case management, data enrichment, integrations, editable playbooks, reporting, collaboration, and response time SLAs.
Security operations teams now need to analyse, respond, collaborate, communicate, report, and comply. Management and executive leadership teams focused on people and process aspects need efficient and effective ways to support and enable distributed staff. Cydarm's Cyber Response Management Platform was built to support today's security teams, as well as help solve executive and board level concerns.
At Cydarm, we believe cybersecurity is a team sport, and good teamwork relies on effective communication and coordination of effort across different domain expertise with an enduring level of trust. Our approach combines best practice in security operations, comprehensive information capture, and flexible access control, to ensure that teams of any size and composition can respond to threats consistently and quickly.
