What Scybers does

Scybers is a global cybersecurity advisory and managed services firm specializing in 24x7 managed detection and response (MDR), agentic Security Operations Center (SOC) services, AI security, and elastic CISO-led security teams. Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Alpharetta, Georgia with operational hubs in Chennai, Coimbatore, and Colombo, the firm serves enterprise clients across banking, financial services, fintech, healthcare, manufacturing, SaaS, insurance, and semiconductor verticals in the US, Europe, Australia, India, and APAC.

The core technology stack combines Scyra, a proprietary AI CISO Copilot, with cloud-native SIEM platforms from Google (SecOps/Chronicle) and Microsoft (Sentinel), enriched by Mandiant threat intelligence and integrated with partners including Zscaler, CrowdStrike, Wiz, Palo Alto, and Forcepoint. The Agentic Managed SOC delivers 24x7x365 threat hunting, detection, and response across both Google SecOps and Microsoft Sentinel environments, while a dedicated AI Security Services line addresses AI risk assessment, AI agent security, AI penetration testing, and AI governance compliance under ISO 42001.

Scybers monetizes through three revenue streams: recurring managed SOC services, professional services for security consulting and compliance (SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001), and solution deployment including SIEM migration from QRadar, Splunk, and LogRhythm. Pricing is quote-based and tailored to client risk profiles via Co-Managed and Fully Managed engagement models. Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales, supplemented by thought leadership at industry events such as the SLASSCOM CEO Breakfast Forum on Cybersecurity. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding, led by CEO Kugan Kulothungan and co-founder/President Madu Ratnayake, and recently added Microsoft Security veteran Prasanna Samarawickrama to its Technical Advisory Board.
