2024: A Year of Growth, Recognition, and Milestones for Cynomi and the Cybersecurity Ecosystem

As we approach the close of 2024, I want to take a moment to reflect on what has been an incredible year for Cynomi and our partners. Together, we’ve achieved milestones that have not only strengthened our mission but also set the stage for even greater success in the years ahead. 

Accelerating Our Growth 

“This year, the Cynomi team expanded 2.5-fold to support rising demand. Each team member plays a crucial role in driving our vision forward, and I couldn’t be prouder of their dedication and impact. We also saw remarkable growth on the partner front, with a 200% year-over-year increase since 2023. Together, we’re empowering more organizations across the globe to achieve expert-level security with efficiency and confidence. 

Our platform usage soared by 426% this year—a testament to the trust our users place in Cynomi to deliver tailored, scalable solutions that make cybersecurity management easier and more effective. 

Industry Recognition and Trust 

In 2024, we were honored to receive multiple industry awards, reinforcing the value Cynomi brings to the cybersecurity ecosystem. We were awarded the Tech Round Winner’s Top 40 Cybersecurity Startups award, Cyber Defense Magazine’s Top Infosec Innovator award, The Channel Company’s AI 100 and Stellar Startups awards and others! These accolades reflect not just our innovation but also the growing recognition of the vCISO model as a critical enabler for businesses of all sizes. 

Fueling the Future 

Earlier this year, we raised an additional $20M to advance our mission of bringing expert-level security to organizations worldwide. This funding will allow us to continue innovating, enhancing our platform, and supporting our growing community of users and partners. 

Cynomi’s Contributions to the Ecosystem 

At Cynomi, we are committed to not only providing solutions but also contributing to the broader cybersecurity ecosystem. This year, we launched and supported initiatives that have made a tangible impact: 

• The vCISO Academy: A free learning platform that helps MSPs, MSSPs, and consultants develop and expand their vCISO skills. With expert-led videos, practical tools, and real-world exercises, the Academy empowers service providers to succeed. 

• The vCISO Directory: A vendor-neutral directory connecting organizations across the globe with professional vCISO service providers. It’s free for both users and providers, ensuring easy access to trusted cybersecurity partners. 

• Sponsoring the PowerGRYD Community: We proudly supported the PowerGRYD Community, fostering collaboration and innovation in the cybersecurity space. Our sponsorship has helped amplify knowledge-sharing and connections within the ecosystem. 

• The 2024 State of the vCISO Report: This year’s report highlights the rapid rise of vCISO services, showcasing their benefits while addressing the challenges providers face, such as bridging security expertise gaps. It’s an essential resource for understanding this growing trend. 

Looking Ahead 

As we celebrate our successes, we remain focused on the road ahead. Our mission to empower every business with robust, scalable, and automated security solutions continues to guide us. We’re excited to bring even more value to our partners and users in the coming year.
