HERZLIYA, Israel, June 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- XM Cyber, the multi-award-winning leader in attack modeling and security posture management, today announced it has been awarded with the European Commission's prestigious "Seal of Excellence" for securing online and connected assets.

The Seal of Excellence is a quality label awarded to project proposals submitted to Horizon 2020, the EU's research and innovation funding program. An international panel of independent experts deemed XM Cyber's submission worthy of recognition, following a highly competitive evaluation process.

"XM Cyber is truly honored to be recognized by the European Commission with the Seal of Excellence," said Noam Erez, CEO and Co-Founder, XM Cyber. "This is not only a stamp of approval from experts in our field, but further reinforcement to our customers that we are delivering a best-in-class product to combat the ever-evolving security threats they face on a daily basis."

The recognition means passing all stringent Horizon 2020 assessment thresholds for the three award criteria – excellence, impact, innovation, quality and efficiency of implementation – required to receive funding from the EU budget Horizon 2020.

The seal highlights the business value of XM Cyber and helps connect the company with alternative sources of funding. According to the European Commission, Horizon 2020 is the biggest EU Research and Innovation program ever, and one of the most competitive. Its aim is to foster breakthroughs, discoveries and world-firsts by taking great ideas from the lab to the market.

Prevent cybercrime through continuous security posture improvement

As enterprises rapidly shift into the "new normal," they must be able to safely and continuously simulate attacks on their networks to detect security holes before malicious actors are able to exploit them. XM Cyber is the industry leader in this field, continuously and automatically discovering all security issues and prioritizing remediation based on importance and relation to the company's most critical assets. This effectively decreases cyber-risk, allows companies to constantly strengthen their security posture, and frees security teams to focus on real issues, rather than maintenance.

"We are the only ones to address the only crucial question for enterprises: 'Are my critical assets really secure?' We provide the only hyper-realistic breach and attack simulation (BAS) solution, an advanced persistent threat (APT) automated and continuous simulation and remediation platform – both on-prem and in the cloud," Erez added.

"XM Cyber allows them to see their network from the eyes of the attacker, running continuously 24/7 to find and show all the hidden attack vectors that can go under the radar of most protective measures. This continuous loop of automated red teaming is completed by ongoing and prioritized actionable remediation of security gaps, including a list of most critical issues to be fixed (and how to fix them), that are on the critical paths to the critical assets."
