'Zyston' Launches 'CyberCAST' Cybersecurity Assessment Tool

DALLAS and ATLANTA, Oct. 20, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Zyston, a managed security service (MSSP & MDR) provider, today announces the availability of its new CyberCAST cybersecurity assessment. With a focus on evaluating security program maturity, Zyston's CyberCAST combines a technical penetration test with an industry-leading security assessment. As cybersecurity breaches become widespread, Zyston is prepared to help its customers reduce the risk of dangerous cyber-attacks with its new CyberCAST offering.

"Recently, the FBI reported a 300% increase in cyber attacks since the start of the COVID-19 health pandemic*," said Craig Stamm, CEO of Zyston. "As organizations move to cloud-based services to accommodate remote employees, organizations are at higher risk for security breaches."

Zyston's CyberCAST offering provides a quantitative security risk score along with industry comparative benchmarks, and both a strategic and tactical roadmap to improve that score to a desired state maturity score over a defined period of time. The penetration test component focuses on evaluating findings based on business risk, categorizing vulnerabilities based on systemic and process-related issues.

"Zyston is disrupting the security industry with our CyberCAST assessment," continued Stamm. "Traditionally, Security Managers have had to procure a penetration test if they want technical findings, and a security assessment if they wanted a more holistic understanding of their security program, and often the findings are extremely technical or lacked business context. Our CyberCAST solution is the first of its kind to focus on true business risk in the areas of people, processes, and technology."

The goal of the CyberCAST security assessment is to provide an organization's CIO or CISO with a report that they can share with senior executives that explains the state of maturity of the organization's security posture in a business language they can easily comprehend. As a client's information security partner, Zyston can both execute the CyberCAST assessment and help facilitate the communication of the CyberCAST assessment findings among the client's leadership team.

In September 2020, Zyston was listed among the top global 250 MSSPs / MDRs of 2020 by MSSP Alert, an exclusive research and news publication. Zyston was also recently named an industry leader by Forrester in the midsize cybersecurity services space, and the full Forrester report is available for download on Zyston's website.

For a limited time, Zyston is offering an introductory CyberCAST cybersecurity assessment called the Zyston CyberCAST Snapshot. In just 15-minutes, organizations can establish a benchmark of their security program's maturity and get a sense of where they sit compared to industry benchmarks.
