At Cerby we believe security is everyone’s business.  Collaborating across your apps doesn’t need to be chaos.  We are a mission-critical cybersecurity company that empowers your teams to operate securely and control their apps completely.  We’ve built our product on the idea that teams deserve autonomy over their work apps.  It turns out that why they are guaranteed a choice, security comes naturally.

More than 50% of all technology is spent outside of centralized IT organizations.  Individual business units are taking their technology destiny into their own hands, and we enable that.  End user onboarded applications are behind more than one third of all cybersecurity hacks.  We provide the solution to manage that through enabling users to select their own technology and we automatically protect those applications.
