Taipei, Taiwan — September 2021 — CyCraft, a leading managed detection and response (MDR) provider based in Taiwan, has been featured in the latest IDC Perspective, Intelligence-Led Cybersecurity — Examples of Two Asia-Headquartered AI-Enabled Security Providers (Doc # AP47757822)
This IDC Perspective highlights the success of both CyCraft and CYFIMRA, two Asia-based AI-enabled cybersecurity solution providers, their key offerings, and their unique innovations to the Asia Pacific region.
“It is interesting to note how some organizations in the region prefer to engage a niche threat intelligence solution provider compared with some big brand names. The solutions discussed in this document represent the latest innovation of AI-enabled cybersecurity solutions, in which they can significantly reduce investigation time compared with the conventional approach.”
Cathy Huang, Associate Research Director, IDC Asia/Pacific Services & Security Research.
IDC Perspective Doc # AP47757822 emphasizes the importance of threat intelligence in transforming traditional reactive cyberdefense strategies into more effective proactive cyber-resilience strategies and goes further to compare the key offerings and differentiators of these two cybersecurity vendors in the Asia Pacific region.

“CyCraft AIR and CyberTotal actively use machine learning to automate all stages of intrusion detection, response, and analysis. We were impressed with their innovative technology, such as their intuitive dashboard that made it easy for analysts to analyze and re-analyze intrusion attack data. CyCraft Technology should be commended for its deep understanding of international cyber threats but, most importantly, cyber threat intel actively threatening the current cyber landscape in Asia.
