Zyston provides tailored information-security programs and a full range of services—advising and consulting, talent acquisition and staff augmentation, and managed services—designed to help middle-market companies build and operate mature, cost-effective security programs. Launched in 2016 and led by former CISOs and seasoned security executives, the firm focuses on custom programs aligned with business goals. The company has grown rapidly, expanding headcount from seven employees to nearly 30 in less than a year and adding several senior industry hires. Zyston recently raised $2.2 million of equity capital to fund accelerated growth and recruiting of top industry talent. Management has allocated capital to launch the Zyston Top Gun cybersecurity leadership development program, which begins June 5 with its first class recruited from TCU. The firm emphasizes expanding its service offerings and managed-services capabilities in response to strong client demand and a changing threat landscape. Zyston is a strategic information security advisory firm offering CISO Advisory Services, M&A Information Security Due Diligence, and Delivery Services that provide technical security talent. The company announced its official launch from Dallas and is led by industry veterans including CEO Craig Stamm and CISO service co-leads Jonathan Steenland and Richard Dorough. Zyston’s CISO Advisory Services use the firm’s approach — Know Thyself, Know Thy Enemy, Adapt & Overcome — to help organizations design, develop and execute information security programs. Its M&A due diligence offering provides comprehensive reviews of acquisition targets’ information networks in compressed deal timeframes for private equity firms and corporations. The Delivery Services arm supplies human-capital expertise to implement and sustain security engagements. The firm has secured client contracts with Fujitsu, Capgemini, Bridge2Solutions and Access Insurance and raised $3.7 million in Series A financing to support its launch and operations.
