CYGNVS Honored with Three 2025 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards

We’re proud to share that CYGNVS has been named the winner in three top categories at the 2025 Cybersecurity Excellence Awards: 

These awards are more than accolades. They validate our mission to improve how organizations prepare for and respond to cyber incidents. They also reflect the growing awareness around cyber resilience and the critical role readiness plays in reducing chaos, cost, and downtime. 

Why CYGNVS? 

While most organizations have cyber insurance policies and incident response playbooks, a critical gap remains. When a major incident like ransomware hits, what’s missing is a secure, centralized place for all teams: security, IT, business teams, and external providers, to take coordinated action. 

That’s what CYGNVS delivers: an out-of-band command center built specifically for organizations to prepare for and respond to incidents, even when core systems like email and SSO are compromised or unavailable. 

We help organizations move from unprepared to resilient with features like: 

  • Dynamic playbook generation by geography, incident type, and industry
  • Built-in tabletop simulator to build muscle memory across the broader response team 
  • Native mobile apps and out-of-band identity to keep all users connected, anytime, anywhere 
  • In-platform collaboration with video conferencing, chat, file editing, and e-signature 
  • Secure external vendor onboarding with role-based permissions and retention policies 

Why It Matters 

These awards reflect a broader industry shift: organizations are realizing that incident response is not just a technical function, but a business-critical capability. 

And they’re turning to CYGNVS not just for faster response, but for better readiness. With CYGNVS, customers practice in tabletop exercises more often, communicate more clearly, and recover more quickly, even under extreme pressure. 

Recognizing the Leadership Behind the Vision 

Founder and CEO Arvind Parthasarathi was named Cybersecurity CEO of the Year. With a background spanning enterprise software, insurance risk modeling, and multiple successful startups, Arvind saw the opportunity to address the confusion and chaos that typically follows major cyber incidents.

  • Manages 2,600+ major cyber incidents annually
