CyTwist

CyTwist provides next-generation threat detection that uses deductive AI and cyber counterintelligence techniques, rather than file scans or signatures, to identify targeted attacks, malware, and AI-generated threats based on behavioral patterns. This approach is designed to give defenders an edge against previously unknown threats that evade traditional detection by profiling attacker methodology using field-proven counterintelligence tradecraft combined with hyper-targeted probability algorithms.

Founded in 2019 and headquartered in Ramat Gan, Israel, by a team of cybersecurity professionals and former intelligence officers, CyTwist launched its patented detection engine in December 2024 specifically to combat the rise of AI-generated malware, claiming to detect a suspected attack within minutes rather than the days or weeks such threats can otherwise evade detection. The company positions this counterintelligence-informed approach as a direct response to attackers now using generative AI to create malware designed to evade conventional detection tools.
