In 2019, cybersecurity veteran Corey White founded Cyvatar with a clear mission: to redefine cybersecurity for the 99.9% of businesses that have been underserved and overlooked. With over two decades in the industry, Corey saw a critical issue emerging. The industry had become more focused on selling tools and products than on truly solving problems for clients—especially for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) trying to protect themselves in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

The stakes are high: the volume and sophistication of cyberattacks have escalated year over year, with recent data showing a 30% increase in attacks between 2023 and 2024 alone. For most SMBs, surviving these threats isn’t about buying the next product or monitoring tool. It’s about needing a partner who truly understands their struggles, one who will stand by them, providing the expertise, continuous processes, and best-in-class technology that can protect their future.

Unfortunately, too many cybersecurity providers today focus on selling single products or offering quick assessments. Many simply monitor for threats without the real follow-through SMBs need to feel safe and secure. Corey knew that wasn’t enough. He founded Cyvatar to fill that gap and provide a comprehensive, people-centered solution that could effectively support SMBs in navigating modern cyber threats.

We at Cyvatar believe every business deserves not just cybersecurity but cyber resilience—a reliable defense system that grows and adapts alongside them. Ransomware, phishing, and other cyberattacks are real, relentless, and rapidly evolving with AI and automation. To face these threats, businesses need more than a product—they need an experienced partner with the skill, commitment, and expertise to help them stay compliant, answer security questionnaires, meet cyber insurance requirements, and scale with confidence.

At Cyvatar, we are also proud to lead with diversity at the core of our leadership team. With individuals from various backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences, our team embodies the inclusive values we believe are essential for innovation and growth.

Cyvatar is that partner. We’re here to stand with SMBs, delivering the continuous care and all-encompassing protection they need to thrive in today’s digital world. Because when you succeed, we succeed—and we’re in this together.
