VANCOUVER – Baystreet.ca News Commentary – With rising tensions between Iran and Israel underway, companies are being warned by cyber experts that their data may soon be caught in this digital crossfire. Researchers are warning that not only could opposition-aligned threat groups soon target US companies and individuals, but could also potentially attack critical infrastructure. To better protect against these vulnerabilities, compliance is set to change, with experts insisting that security and privacy can no long function independently. As well, some experts are saying that AI is an overlooked cyber risk in supply chains. Working behind the scenes, several tech companies are developing compliant cyber security to handle today's needs, including recent news from CyberCatch Holdings, Inc. (TSXV: CYBE) (OTCQB: CYBHF), N-able, Inc. (NASDAQ: NABL), Radware Ltd. (NASDAQ: RDWR), CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD), and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN).
According to Exactitude Consultancy the global cybersecurity solutions market serving small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) is expected to triple, reaching US$70 billion by 2034. Analysts at Fortune Business Insights project the global cybersecurity market as a whole to be US$562.72 billion by 2032, growing at a 14.3% CAGR.
CyberCatch Holdings, Inc. (TSXV: CYBE) (OTCQB: CYBHF) just announced its acceptance into the NVIDIA Inception Program, an elite group of start-ups and early stage companies. The program, run by NVIDIA, is designed to support promising AI companies accelerate success, offering access to advanced hardware, exclusive development tools, and potential investment opportunities.
' CyberCatch is honored to have been selected by NVIDIA to become an NVIDIA Inception Program member,' said Sai Huda, CEO, CyberCatch. 'We are excited to work with NVIDIA to further innovate our unique, patented, AI-enabled continuous cyber risk mitigation solution to move from using generative AI to using agentic AI and quantum computing, and also rapidly develop new world-class solutions to take advantage of emerging opportunities in select vertical markets and accelerate business growth.'
For CyberCatch, the move signals a leap toward more advanced forms of intelligent automation. The company already offers a patented platform that continuously enables cybersecurity compliance and testing of controls and helps fix cyber vulnerabilities. Now, as a NVIDIA Inception member, it could play an even greater role in securing the digital front lines for small and mid-sized businesses across healthcare, defense, and finance.
This is just one of several recent moves by CyberCatch that are expanding its profile and relevance in a changing cybersecurity landscape.
Earlier this month, the company rolled out an Enterprise AI Awareness Training solution — a first-of-its-kind solution designed to reduce risks by educating employees on the benefits and well as the risks of generative AI, including hallucination, and cyber threast such as data poisoning, prompt injection, and model theft. The training is SCORM-compliant and deployable across major learning platforms, helping CyberCatch capture part of what it expects will become a multibillion-dollar market adjacent to cybersecurity awareness.
In May, CyberCatch announced the launch of two vertical-specific solutions: a cryptocurrency compliance and risk mitigation platform, and an innovative compliance solution for over 600,000 healthcare providers in the U.S.
These followed upon the company's no-application cyber insurance benefit, providing a groundbreaking offer where SMBs using CyberCatch to meet compliance can qualify instantly for coverage, with no lengthy underwriting process. Partnered with CMR Risk & Insurance Services, this feature positions CYBE as more than just a cybersecurity vendor — it's becoming a compliance-and-coverage ecosystem.
And while small businesses are the company's beachhead, CyberCatch has also developed tailored platforms for vulnerable sectors like U.S. drinking water systems, where a single day of disruption could cost the economy $43.5 billion, according to the U.S. Water Alliance. A recent EPA report flagged hundreds of these systems as non-compliant and exposed — and CyberCatch now offers a turnkey solution to lock them down.
With a growing suite of AI-enabled products, bold partnerships, and a pipeline targeting everything from healthcare to infrastructure to crypto, CyberCatch is carving out its niche as a specialized compliance-first security platform — built for the overlooked majority.
N-able, Inc. (NASDAQ: NABL) has launched new on-demand core certifications through its training platform, N-able U, aimed at helping IT professionals and teams unlock the full potential of its UEM platforms, N-central and N-sight.
'We're committed to delivering high-quality training that's not only practical but impactful,' said Frank Colletti, Chief Revenue Officer of N-able. 'Whether you're just starting out or deepening your expertise, these certifications are designed to ensure you get real value from our best-in-class UEM solutions.'
The certifications are free to customers and designed to streamline IT operations, bolster cybersecurity, and accelerate career development. This move also supports greater standardization, onboarding efficiency, and real-world readiness across technical teams globally.
Radware Ltd. (NASDAQ: RDWR) recently released findings from its 2024–2025 Global Threat Analysis Report, revealing major shortfalls in application-layer security.
'The research reveals a growing blind spot in application security,' said Gabi Malka, Chief Operating Officer of Radware. 'As attackers evolve, enterprises must rethink their approach and adopt more robust, multi-layered defenses.'
According to the survey, only 28% of organizations have fully integrated Web Application Firewall (WAF) solutions, despite a surge in Layer 7 DDoS and bot attacks. The data highlights a growing mismatch between evolving cyber threats and current defense postures.
CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CRWD) and Amazon Web Services (AWS), a fully-owned subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), have introduced Falcon for AWS Security Incident Response, a new solution aimed at accelerating and simplifying cloud threat response. This offering integrates CrowdStrike's Falcon platform into AWS's automated workflows to enable faster triage, investigation, and containment of cyber threats.
"Speed is everything in cybersecurity. When cloud intrusions spread at ever-accelerating speeds, organizations can't afford to wait hours – or days – for help," said Daniel Bernard, Chief Business Officer of CrowdStrike. "Falcon for AWS Security Incident Response puts the proven protection of the Falcon platform into the hands of AWS customers the moment they need it – making AI-powered incident response faster, smarter, and more accessible than ever."
CrowdStrike says Falcon users detect 96% more threats in half the time and investigate 66% faster, giving organizations a critical edge during incidents.
"In the evolving threat landscape, cloud security needs to be powerful, practical, and properly priced," said Hart Rossman, director of security incident response at AWS. "Falcon for AWS Security Incident Response checks all three boxes – integrating CrowdStrike's AI-native Falcon platform with our enterprise-grade security services at optimized pricing through AWS Marketplace, creating exceptional value for our joint customers."
The move also highlights a shared push to improve cloud security outcomes through AI-driven efficiency.
