Cye launches private equity cyber exposure center
Cye said its new Center of Excellence for Private Equity will help firms assess and reduce cyber exposure across portfolio companies from diligence to sale.
Cye said on Sept. 8 that it has launched a Center of Excellence for Private Equity to help firms assess, manage and reduce cyber exposure across portfolio companies throughout the investment lifecycle.
The company said the offering is intended to give private equity firms a more consistent view of security posture across investments. Cye said private equity firms and their portfolio companies can concentrate capital, sensitive deal data and third-party providers, making them attractive targets for attackers.
Cye said cybersecurity is often handled through point-in-time assessments at individual portfolio companies. The company said that approach can leave firms without a portfolio-wide view of exposure or a steady way to track resilience over time.
According to Cye, the new center will serve as a central hub for portfolio cybersecurity. It will combine the company’s AI-native exposure management platform with M&A-related services, and it is intended to standardize execution across investments while applying cross-portfolio insights to guide decisions and reduce exposure.
The company said the service is available to private equity firms globally. No pricing, customer names or implementation details were disclosed in the release.
Cye CEO Reuven Aronashvili said in the release that cybersecurity is becoming “a powerful lever for creating enterprise value — not just a cost center to manage.” He said consistent cross-portfolio visibility and exposure reduction can make cybersecurity a measurable driver of long-term value, protect investments and increase acquisition multiples.
The announcement does not provide outside analysis or independent verification of the company’s claims. It also does not say when the service will be expanded or whether any firms have already signed on.
What happens next will depend on whether private equity firms adopt the service and how Cye positions the center in the market for portfolio cybersecurity.
