Cylera

What Cylera does

Cylera is a healthcare-focused IoT cybersecurity and asset intelligence company founded in 2017 and headquartered in New York, with regional offices in Cheltenham (UK), Madrid (Spain), and Muscat (Oman). The company sells an agentless, machine learning-powered platform that performs passive deep packet inspection to discover, classify, profile, and continuously monitor connected IoT and medical devices across enterprise networks. The platform is organized into six integrated modules — Discovery and Inventory, Vulnerability and Risk Management, Threat Detection and Response, Network Segmentation and Protection, Analytics and Reporting, and Compliance Support — and uses proprietary techniques (Adaptive Data Type Analysis, Network Traffic Emulation, Smart Threat Prioritization) to handle unknown protocols without device agents or manufacturer cooperation.

The company generates revenue primarily through annual enterprise subscription contracts for its IoT security platform, with pricing scaled to deployment size and device count, sold via direct field sales with a consultative, demo-led conversion motion. Its customer base is anchored in large healthcare delivery organizations (including multi-site health systems such as RWJBarnabas Health at 70 sites and 100K+ devices, St. Luke's University Health Network, Weill Cornell Medicine, and multiple NHS Trusts in the UK), with adjacent expansion into financial services, higher education, transportation and logistics, and manufacturing. Cylera has built a 15+ partner integration ecosystem with major security and network infrastructure vendors (Cisco, Checkpoint, Forescout, Splunk, ServiceNow, Microsoft Sentinel, IBM QRadar, Illumio, Rapid7, Google Chronicle, HPE Aruba ClearPass, Extreme Networks) and has been recognized as a Leader in Quadrant Knowledge Solutions' SPARK Matrix for Connected Medical Device Security Solutions and jointly awarded a Cyber Innovation Award with Cisco at the 2026 Scottish Cyber Awards. The company has raised approximately $19.5M across multiple funding rounds from investors including Concord Health Partners, Maverick Ventures, Samsung NEXT, Two Sigma Ventures, Dreamit Ventures, and Rho Capital Partners, and operates with a headcount of 11-50 employees.

Core offering

Cylera provides a unified, agentless IoT asset intelligence and cybersecurity platform that discovers, classifies, profiles, and monitors connected IoT devices for healthcare organizations, financial institutions, and other enterprises. The platform uses machine learning and deep packet inspection to deliver real-time device inventory, vulnerability and risk management, threat detection and response, network segmentation policy generation, and compliance reporting for standards such as HIPAA and NHS DSPT.

Product overview

Cylera offers a unified IoT Asset Intelligence and Security Platform designed for healthcare, financial services, higher education, transportation and logistics, and manufacturing sectors. The platform consists of the core Cylera Platform which powers six integrated modules: Discovery and Inventory (real-time device identification and classification), Vulnerability and Risk Management (threat detection and risk scoring), Threat Detection and Response (automated alert reduction and remediation guidance), Network Segmentation and Protection (Zero Trust policy generation), Analytics and Reporting (dashboards and data export), and Compliance Support (audit-readiness for HIPAA, UK GDPR, NHS DSPT). The platform uses machine learning for adaptive data analysis, network traffic emulation, and smart threat prioritization. Agentless deployment approach does not require agents, network scanning, or manufacturer updates.
