Cyberbit analysts use real-world networks and real-world security tools, giving them the hands-on experience they need to successfully prevent and mitigate real-world attacks.
Speaking of the advantages of the collaboration with Spire, a representative of Cyberbit stated: “We are very excited to be partnering with Spire Solutions as part of the greater effort to reduce business risk in the Middle East Gulf states and Egypt. The partnership will allow Spire Solutions to help its customers leverage the Cyberbit platform to improve incident response times and better utilize the human element of cyber defense.”
