About CYDEF
CYDEF runs its managed detection and response work from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, using patented Stack View technology that builds a picture of known good behaviour and sends every unknown action for review by a person. Analysts investigate anomalous activity instead of relying only on automated scoring, and the service can check whether existing endpoint and SIEM tools are working as intended and show where coverage gaps remain. Alongside managed detection and response, clients can use anti malware protection and automated cybersecurity awareness training that runs on an ongoing basis for employees. Professional services cover security assessments, penetration testing, and forensic work after an incident. CYDEF reports a SOC 2 Type 2 attestation, works across ten countries on five continents, and serves clients in banking, healthcare, insurance, manufacturing, retail, and education, from smaller firms to large enterprises and critical infrastructure operators.
