Cyrus (acquired by Malwarebytes)

About

Cyrus, now part of Malwarebytes, specialized in online privacy solutions before its acquisition in August 2023. The company focused on protecting users from cybercrime, fraud, and identity theft through advanced technology that analyzed dark web activity and monitored digital footprints. Cyrus offered several key services, including dark web monitoring, which alerted users to compromised credentials, and credit monitoring, which tracked credit scores and flagged suspicious financial activity. Additionally, the company provided privacy protection tools to help users manage their online presence and control personal information across various platforms. Following the acquisition, Malwarebytes plans to integrate Cyrus' technology into its mobile privacy solutions, enhancing user control over personal data and combining privacy with security offerings. This strategic move aims to strengthen Malwarebytes' position as a comprehensive provider of privacy and security tools for both individual users and businesses.
