As cyberattacks intensify in speed and impact, a strategic collaboration aims to fundamentally alter how organizations prepare for and navigate through cyber crises
In today’s interconnected landscape, cyberattacks are no longer theoretical or slow-burn threats. They materialize with alarming speed, capable of inducing operational paralysis and severe reputational damage within minutes. For any organization grappling with this reality, effective cyber incident response has transcended its traditional technical confines to become an urgent business imperative.
Many organizations still find themselves engaging third-party vendors only after a crisis has fully erupted, expending precious time on coordinating disparate stakeholders, improvising protocols, or simply attempting to grasp the scope of an event and the immediate steps required.
A newly forged strategic partnership seeks to directly address these systemic challenges, integrating Redpoint Cybersecurity’s extensive on-the-ground experience with Cytactic’s AI-powered cyber incident response infrastructure to to cultivate faster, more intelligent, and seamlessly coordinated response capabilities, spanning the critical phases before, during, and after a cyber incident.
“Our partnership with Cytactic represents a significant leap forward”, notes Tab Bradshaw, COO of Redpoint Cybersecurity. “It allows us to embed our extensive experience directly into a powerful AI-powered platform, ensuring our clients can achieve unprecedented levels of readiness and immediate, coordinated response when it matters most.”

This advancement towards live, AI-driven simulations enables security teams to train with a level of intensity and precision that directly mirrors actual crises, allowing for active rehearsals of full-scale cyber incident scenarios within a controlled environment, fostering the critical crisis management “muscle memory”.
The strategic Redpoint-Cytactic partnership also arrives at a time of growing demand for scalable, proactive cyber readiness solutions in global markets, highlighted by Japanese trading giant Mitsui & Co.’s significant 2024 investment in Redpoint. The investment accelerated Redpoint’s mission to deliver elite cyber incident response services across sectors like critical infrastructure, financial services, and defense, domains where the stakes are highest and downtime is measured not just in dollars, but in lives and national security.
More than a vendor alliance, Cytactic and Redpoint’s partnership is a necessary bridge between human expertise and technological enablement. “We’ve brought together Cytactic’s premier incident response AI-powered platform and Redpoint’s leading services,” says Jason Starr, Managing Director, Redpoint, “combining them with the collective wisdom of the cybersecurity community.” This collaboration creates a holistic approach to incident response management, poised to provide our customers with a robust way to face today’s intricate threat landscape.”

Cytactic’s platform serves as a central intelligence hub for Cyber Incident Response Management, unifying internal workflows, ensuring regulatory compliance, streamlining external communications, and centralizing decision-making processes. When an incident inevitably occurs, Redpoint’s expert teams integrate immediately into the organization’s pre-defined structure and protocols for swift action.
“Traditional incident response often faces challenges with static planning and delayed activation during a crisis. Our collaboration with Redpoint directly addresses these pain points,” explains Dr. Nimrod Kozlovski, Founder & CEO, Cytactic. “The Cytactic platform provides the digital infrastructure that transforms Redpoint’s exceptional human capital into a dynamically actionable and instantly deployable solution, empowering organizations to ‘practice how they play’ and react in real-time.”
By embedding Redpoint’s operational knowledge directly into Cytactic’s platform, the alliance democratizes access to elite cyber incident response services, capabilities once predominantly reserved for high-profile breaches or government-level crises. This enhanced scalability is crucial in an era where no economic sector is immune and no enterprise is too modest to be targeted by malicious actors, who are sometimes state-sponsored or bona fide state-actors.
Ultimately, the Cytactic-Redpoint alliance is designed to mitigate friction within the crisis response lifecycle, reducing characteristic pervasive delays, inherent uncertainties, and problematic guesswork. Instead, it offers a state of readiness that is rigorously tested, a response that is immediate, and coordination that is truly seamless.
With the accelerating cyber threat landscape, organizations will increasingly be evaluated crucially on how effectively and efficiently they respond when preventative measures are inevitably breached. With this strategic new partnership, the future of Cyber Incident Response Management appears poised to finally align with the profound urgency of the threats it confronts.
