Cyber security company on a mission to protect your businesses against cyber attacks
About Upfort
Paladin Cyber is a specialized company providing comprehensive cyber protection tailored for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Operating in the cybersecurity and insurance markets, Paladin offers a unique blend of services designed to safeguard critical data and systems from cyber threats. The company’s primary clients are SMBs that often lack the resources and expertise to defend against increasingly sophisticated cyber attacks.
Paladin’s business model revolves around a combination of cybersecurity software and insurance programs. Their offerings include automated risk assessments, security tools, user education, on-demand cyber expertise, forensic support, and system recovery. This holistic approach ensures that clients not only have preventive measures in place but also receive support during and after a cyber incident.
The company makes money through its differentiated insurance programs and subscription-based cybersecurity services. By partnering with insurance agencies, Paladin provides a dual layer of protection: proactive security measures to prevent breaches and comprehensive insurance coverage to mitigate financial losses if an attack occurs. This dual approach helps SMBs manage their cyber risks more effectively, making them as resilient to cyber attacks as larger enterprises.
Paladin Cyber has gained recognition for its innovative solutions, including winning the NYCx MOONSHOT Cybersecurity Challenge. This accolade underscores the company’s commitment to making robust cybersecurity accessible to smaller businesses, which are often the most vulnerable to cybercrime.
