Cydome is a cybersecurity company founded in 2021 that develops specialized platforms to protect maritime vessels, fleets, offshore facilities, and corporate networks from cyber threats targeting IT, OT, and IoT systems.[1][3][4][5] Its core products, such as Everlight NDR and EverShield, provide real-time monitoring, threat detection using AI and machine learning, anomaly identification, vulnerability scanning, and regulatory compliance for the shipping industry and beyond, serving major shipping companies, superyachts, and corporate clients.[1][2][3][5] With $10 million in funding and 18 employees, Cydome addresses the vulnerabilities of internet-connected ships and networks, reducing cyber and operational risks through proactive, plug-and-play solutions.[1][2]
Cydome was founded in 2021 by Alon Ayalon, Avital Sincai, and Nir Ayalon, who brought expertise from elite cyber units, Big Data, data privacy, and cybersecurity to tackle maritime-specific threats.[1][3] The idea emerged from recognizing the unique cyber risks in modern ships—equipped with digital navigation, communication, and operational systems connected to the internet—prompting a focus on full-spectrum protection for IT, OT, and IoT assets both on and offshore.[1][3][4] Early traction included participation in Calcalist's "Dream Team" at the Mind the Tech London 2025 conference, where the startup presented to British and international tech executives, alongside securing $10 million in funding and major maritime customers.[1]
Cydome rides the surge in maritime cybersecurity demands, driven by increasing digitalization of shipping—where connected vessels face rising cyberattacks on navigation and operations—amid global supply chain disruptions and regulatory mandates.[1][4][5] Its timing aligns with post-2021 growth in OT/IoT protections, as remote facilities like ships and offshore platforms become prime targets, amplified by events like high-profile maritime hacks.[1][3] Market forces favoring Cydome include the shipping industry's slow cyber adoption, creating opportunities for specialized, compliant solutions, while its expansion to corporate NDR positions it in the broader $200B+ cybersecurity market.[2] By enabling resilient operations and influencing standards through events like Mind the Tech, Cydome elevates awareness and sets benchmarks for sector-specific defenses.[1]
Cydome is poised for expansion beyond maritime into corporate and hybrid IT/OT environments, leveraging its $10M funding for R&D and global branches (e.g., Japan, Greece) to capture growing demand in digitized industries.[1][2][4] Trends like AI-enhanced threats, stricter regulations (e.g., IMO cyber rules), and edge computing will shape its path, potentially driving partnerships with ports and insurers. Its influence may evolve from niche protector to ecosystem leader, scaling via cloud-native tools and elite talent to preempt next-gen risks—reinforcing its role as the go-to for high-stakes, isolated operations.
Cydome has raised $3.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $3.0M Seed in January 2021.
