What does Cygon do?
Cygon: Because the Perimeter is an Illusion The 80% You’re Missing Traditional security stops at the network edge. Attackers don’t. While you’re hardening your firewall, they’ve already moved into your parking lot, your lobby, and your boardrooms. They don’t target what’s protected - they exploit the ~80% of devices and signals you don’t see and can't control. The $50 Breach The barrier to entry is gone. Today, it doesn’t take a nation-state to break your security; it takes ~$50 and tools like Flipper Zero or WiFi Pineapple. Anyone standing near your facility can execute Man-in-the-Middle attacks, harvest credentials, and impersonate devices. If you can’t see it, you’re not managing risk - you’re relying on luck. P-CTEM: Managing What Others Ignore Most CISOs fall into the “connectivity trap” - assuming that if it’s not on the network, it’s not their problem. That assumption is exactly what attackers exploit. Proximity turns invisible signals into weaponized entry points that bypass your entire security stack. Cygon defines Proximity CTEM (P-CTEM) - extending exposure management into the physical domain, where attacks actually happen. We bring visibility and control to the 80% that traditional tools miss. The Bottom Line Cygon was built by operators from elite Israeli offensive units - people who spent years exploiting these exact blind spots. We protect where we know attackers win. The reality? Attackers already understand your physical layer better than you do. The only question is: Are you securing it - or waiting for someone in your parking lot to prove you’re not?
