Granted by Cyber Defense Magazine, the award showcases ten companies deemed to show incredible potential in the cybersecurity marketplace. "The Black Unicorn award for XM Cyber acknowledges the high demand for organizations to apply breach and attack simulations (BAS) as part of their overall cybersecurity programs," says XM Cyber CEO Noam Erez. "Our customers are ensuring the security of their critical assets by simulating, validating and quickly remediating real-life attack paths that could be used by hackers." The Black Unicorn Awards honors cybersecurity companies that have the potential to reach a $1 billion dollar market value as determined by private or public investment. XM Cyber competed over a five-month period against many of the industry's leading providers of cybersecurity products and services for the award. "Top-notch hackers can mimic legitimate user actions and go under the radar of many existing security controls," Erez explains.

Addressing real user behavior, poor IT hygiene and vulnerabilities, XM Cyber's HaXM platform continuously leverages advanced offensive methods to expose the most critical blind spots."
