Cynet, a unified XDR platform powered by AI, has been recognized as both a Leader and an Outperformer in the 2026 GigaOm Radar for XDR. GigaOm placed the company in the Innovation/Platform Play quadrant. This position reflects the platform’s functional completeness and its fast pace of innovation in automating the threat lifecycle.
The report highlights Cynet’s innovation-driven approach to XDR. It points to generative AI capabilities that make the platform easier for security analysts to adopt. It also notes real-time attack path visualization and a perfect 5/5 score in Agentic AI for moving from detection to containment in milliseconds. GigaOm also gives specific recognition to CyOps 24×7 MDR. According to the report, the company’s emphasis on combining expert MDR services with a unified technology stack enables it to move faster than traditional platform vendors.
Yaniv Shechtman, VP of Product at Cynet, said that Cynet’s move into the Leaders circle reflects continued investment in AI that can anticipate emerging threats, improve analyst productivity, and automate response. He also noted that these capabilities deliver value most effectively when they are provided through a unified platform. This, in turn, is one of the reasons partners select Cynet to build competitive cybersecurity businesses now and in the future.
XDR: From Alerts to Attack Paths
Modern threats unfold across several stages, and lateral movement can occur within minutes rather than days. GigaOm’s report reinforces the shift toward unified XDR platforms that correlate activity across multiple domains and interrupt attack paths in real time. As a natively unified cybersecurity platform that combines AI-driven automation with an always-on CyOps team, Cynet enables organizations of all sizes to defend more quickly. The platform delivers detection in under five minutes (MTTD) and response in under ten minutes (MTTR).
The report identified several important differentiators in the way Cynet addresses attack paths:
- Attack Path Visualization: Cynet’s Attack Story capability automatically maps an incident’s root cause and lateral movement in real time. GigaOm stated that these automated attack maps reduce cognitive load for analysts. As a result, even junior team members can carry out effective remediation steps.
- Identity Analytics and Protection: Cynet’s AI-based behavioral engines detect lateral movement and credential anomalies in real time. This allows the platform to intercept one of the most critical entry points in modern attack paths before attackers can escalate.
- MITRE ATT&CK: Cynet was classified as an Outperformer based on its strong results in the 2025 MITRE ATT&CK evaluations. The platform achieved 100% detection, 100% protection, and 100% technique-level coverage. These results were reached without configuration changes and without false positives.
- Agentic AI: Cynet received a perfect 5/5 score for CyAI, its proprietary AI capability. It autonomously remediates 90% of threats at scale, maintains an industry-low false positive rate of less than 0.9%, and does not require human intervention.
- Ecosystem: GigaOm describes the seamless effectiveness of Cynet’s integrated stack as the platform’s main value proposition. At the same time, Cynet’s perfect 5/5 Ecosystem score indicates that partners can also integrate the platform into their own technology stacks with ease.
