Cygnvs Inc.

CYGNVS Inc. is a software-as-a-service (SaaS) company founded in 2020 by Arvind Parthasarathi, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur with more than 20 years of technology experience. The company is headquartered in Silicon Valley, California, and maintains offices in Ireland, Canada, and India. Its mission is to help organizations prepare for and respond to cyber crises, with the stated goal of making the world more cyber resilient. The company offers an out-of-band command center for cyber incidents. When a major incident occurs, it quickly escalates beyond IT to involve security, legal, executives, outside counsel, and insurers. CYGNVS provides a secure environment, independent of the organization's potentially compromised corporate systems, where these cross-functional teams can collaborate. The platform supports the full incident lifecycle: preparing playbooks, practicing through tabletop exercises, and responding in a secure out-of-band environment. Key patented capabilities include Isolate Mode, which switches communications away from compromised corporate channels to verified backup identity methods, and Dynamic Tenancy™, which enables controlled collaboration with external providers such as outside counsel and insurers. The platform also includes integrated reporting for over 70 jurisdictions, providing audit trails and helping organizations comply with regulatory and customer notification requirements. According to the company, over 3,000 organizations rely on CYGNVS, running more than 50 major incidents on the platform every week. The platform has been trained on 25,000 real incidents. CYGNVS has raised $55 million in Series A funding led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from EOS Venture Partners and Stone Point Ventures. The company operates as a private, venture-backed entity.

CYGNVS was founded in 2020 by Arvind Parthasarathi, an entrepreneur with over 20 years of technology experience in Silicon Valley. Before founding CYGNVS, Parthasarathi founded CyberCrossroads, a not-for-profit research collaborative that brought together researchers from nine universities globally, including Stanford, MIT, Oxford, the London School of Economics, and the University of Tokyo, to develop a standard of care in processes for cybersecurity. The research revealed that most of the world's organizations were not prepared for a cyber crisis. This insight led to the founding of CYGNVS as a SaaS technology company with the mission to help organizations prepare for an inevitable cyber crisis. The company is headquartered in Silicon Valley, California, with offices in Ireland, Canada, and India. It has raised $55 million in Series A funding led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from EOS Venture Partners and Stone Point Ventures. As of its public communications, CYGNVS reports that over 3,000 organizations rely on its platform, running more than 50 major incidents every week, and that its platform has been trained on 25,000 real incidents.
