Cylance’s artificial intelligence-based approach to cybersecurity, with its flagship product CylancePROTECT®, is second to none among industry competitors. It helps prevent advanced threats and malware from executing on corporate endpoints, eliminating the need for less effective signature-based anti-virus and anti-malware solutions. Through the application of algorithmic science and machine learning, CylancePROTECT is uniquely able to identify and prevent zero-days and other forms of advanced and targeted attacks currently impacting businesses and government agencies worldwide.
“Our recognition in the Forbes 2016 Cloud 100 list a true honor and recognition of our effectiveness in a very crowded market,” said Stuart McClure, president and CEO at Cylance. “With CylancePROTECT, we leverage the cloud in ways never thought of before to collect malware samples to build and enhance our mathematical models of cyberattack prevention. Without the cloud we would be limited in scale and effectiveness, preventing malware from executing on every endpoint. With these cloud-based capabilities, we are one step closer to achieving our mission of protecting every endpoint on earth.”
“Cloud companies are revolutionizing how businesses reach their customers today from digitizing painful old processes to allowing them more time to focus on what they really care about—what makes their products unique,” said Forbes editor of the Cloud 100 list Alex Konrad. “Inclusion in the Forbes 2016 Cloud 100 list recognizes a company for its financial growth and excellence as recognized by customers and peers.”
“These are the companies to watch!” said Byron Deeter, a leading cloud investor and partner at Bessemer Venture Partners. “The Forbes Cloud 100 companies represent the very best private companies in cloud computing. We will see big IPOs and category killers emerge from this list as the cloud computing continues to propel the trillion-dollar software industry.”
