Cymptom, established in 2019, operates within the cybersecurity sector, specializing in attack path management. The company was co-founded by Itamar Mizrahi and Matan Hart, both veterans of elite Israeli Defense Force cyber units. Their direct experience as red teamers and researchers at major cybersecurity vendors revealed a critical market gap: despite significant investment in security tools, enterprises lacked continuous and seamless risk visibility, which spurred the creation of Cymptom.
The firm developed a platform that provides an always-on view of a company's security posture, mapping potential breach scenarios across both on-premise and cloud environments. Cymptom's core offering is an agentless security analytics solution that continuously identifies and visualizes all viable attack paths an adversary could exploit. This is achieved by correlating software vulnerabilities and network misconfigurations with access data to pinpoint exploitable pathways. A key differentiator is that the platform does not rely on simulations or the installation of agents, allowing for simple deployment and immediate, 24/7 security assessment without disrupting business operations. The system evaluates threats against the MITRE ATT&CK framework, enabling security teams to prioritize mitigation efforts based on quantified risk.
Cymptom catered to enterprise clients across various sectors, including financial services, retail, and technology, primarily in North America, Europe, and Israel. Its business model was based on providing this continuous risk visibility as a service. In a significant milestone, the company was acquired by Tenable in February 2022. The acquisition aimed to integrate Cymptom's attack path analysis capabilities into Tenable's broader Cyber Exposure platform, enhancing its ability to provide a unified view of assets and vulnerabilities and to prioritize threats more effectively.
