When Ransomware Hits, Speed Is Everything
Ransomware attacks are surging, powered by increasingly sophisticated AI tools. Yet most organizations still rely on manual incident response processes that take weeks or months to restore systems. Cydelphi offers a patent-pending AI-native Digital Forensics and Incident Response platform that automates ransomware recovery workflows, cutting restoration timelines from months to days.
The Dallas-based startup emerged from stealth with a $3M seed round led by Glasswing Ventures, with participation from Blu Ventures, Hyde Park Angels, and Merlin Group. Co-founded by Ron Newman (CEO), Lee Patenaude (CTO), and Doron Kolton (VP R&D), the team brings 20+ years of collaborative cybersecurity experience from NTT Security and Breach Security.
Why It Matters
The average ransomware recovery costs organizations millions in downtime, remediation, and reputational damage. Cydelphi's platform reduces incident response costs by an average of 75% while dramatically shortening the recovery window. With an R&D team based in Israel and a growing pipeline of MSSP and enterprise customers, they're positioning themselves as the go-to platform for when — not if — ransomware strikes.
