Recognition validates CYGNVS’s innovative approach to cyber resilience, enabling organizations and their response partners to prepare for, manage and recover from cyber and AI incidents
SAN MATEO, CALIF., Nov. 10, 2026 — CYGNVS, the market leading Cyber Incident Response Management (CIRM) platform, today announced that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named CYGNVS to its 2026 Stellar Startups list in the Security category. The annual list recognizes emerging technology vendors driving innovation and creating new opportunities for IT solution providers.
The award validates CYGNVS’s approach to cyber resilience, further supported by its recent research findings. According to the 2026 CYGNVS Resilience Benchmark Report, developed with Marsh and drawing on more than 9,500 survey responses, 89% of organizations have experienced an AI incident, yet 67% have not mapped clear owners for their most critical processes and dependencies. In addition, 69% lack a single platform to coordinate incident response. These findings reveal a significant gap between identifying threats and managing their business impact.
CYGNVS addresses this gap with a secure, out-of-band CIRM platform that brings executives, security teams, legal counsel, insurers, forensic investigators and other critical partners together. Through actionable playbooks and tabletop exercises, organizations can prepare and practice their response before a crisis inevitably hits. When an incident occurs, CYGNVS provides a trusted environment to coordinate decisions, execute response plans and manage recovery, transforming fragmented incident response processes into coordinated crisis management.
Recently, CYGNVS expanded its capabilities with the launch of its AI Incident Command Center, designed to help organizations prepare for and respond to incidents involving AI systems and autonomous agents, giving channel partners a new, extremely timely use case to support shared customers.
“Cyber resilience takes an ecosystem. We’re proud to work alongside leading insurance organizations, including Marsh, AIG and Beazley, as well as technology companies, cybersecurity providers and incident response specialists to help organizations navigate complex crises with greater confidence and coordination,” said Arvind Parthasarathi, CEO and founder, CYGNVS. “The CRN Stellar Startups recognition reinforces the critical role our partners play in helping organizations prepare for and manage incidents together.”
