About Cythority

Cythority is a company offering managed cybersecurity services, professional development and staffing solutions, and its name combines cyber and authority.[3][4] Its VSOCaaS service provides managed threat detection, hunting and incident response for clients without an in-house SOC, while VSOC is its training programme for teams.[3] The company also runs specialised cybersecurity recruitment and provides operations, workforce development and staffing for educational institutions.[3] It says it supports organisations that lack the tools, personnel or resources to defend themselves, from small schools and non-profit organisations to under-resourced teams.[4] Its core team includes Moiz Ahmed as SOC Manager, Karizma Hanshaw as Chief Operations Officer and Sulaiman Asif as Chief Technology Officer.[3]
