Former NSA Deputy Director Bill Crowell Joins Advisory Board of AI-Powered Cybersecurity Startup CYR3CON
Summary
“No one else in the industry is doing what CYR3CON does,” stated Crowell, “their roots in government-funded research and development have led to platform which is only partially monetized today – I see real potential in long term-growth and look forward to working with the team to further extract that value.” Bill seeks to build on CYR3CON’s success in predicting the emergence of exploits in their PR1ORITY product. Bill will not only be key in identifying how to rapidly push new technology in the market, but he will also be instrumental in some of our ongoing transition of previous government funded efforts to DoD and intelligence community users. I think Bill will be an enabler of growth.” CYR3CON, which has recently closed on a new investor, completed 2019 with enterprise users in multiple Fortune 500 companies in addition to OEM license sales supporting several hundred organizations, and is quickly extending its customer base. The company seeks to establish its quantified predictions of cyber threat as an industry standard as its AI-approach achieves a high level of accuracy and has undergone multiple evaluations through peer-reviews and government-funded agencies. CYR3CON’s customers use the company’s open-architecture SaaS-based platform to increase their efficiency in vulnerability management, assess their security posture, and justify the use of resources to avoid costly incidents like infrastructure compromises and data breaches.
