Well Over 10 Organizations Are Joining Cylakes Design Partners Program

Cylake is working with a cross-industry cohort for product input ahead of its beta release, building a platform tailored to real customers’ needs

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Cylake, the complete cybersecurity platform for operational sovereignty, today announced that well over 10 organizations are joining its Design Partners program. Program participants include providers in industries like critical infrastructure, healthcare, financial services, and manufacturing, among others. As part of the program, design partners provide feedback to the Cylake team, shaping product development ahead of the first beta release later this year. Cylake also released a new podcast episode of Inside Cybersecurity offering a closer look at the program and its results so far.

“The closer you are to your customer, the better you can understand the problems they’re facing. Our Design Partners are providing invaluable input as we build our product, helping to shape the future of enterprise cybersecurity,” said Nick Campagna, Vice President of Product Management at Cylake. “From all the conversations we’ve had already, it’s clear that Cylake will solve a real pain point for organizations that cannot rely on the public cloud for security. Often, they’re managing a patchwork of dozens of tools, yet still not getting the complete protection and visibility they need. We don’t have to explain the value proposition of Cylake to them; they understand it immediately.”

The Design Partners program invites select organizations to work closely with Cylake’s leadership team to explore gaps in their current coverage, discuss system requirements and constraints, and provide feedback on initial product design. The program intentionally includes participants from a wide variety of industries to support robust product development.

Cylake is building a cybersecurity platform for organizations that have been left behind by modern security products because they cannot rely on the public cloud. For these customers, legacy security tools create individual “puddles” of data, leaving them without a unified, end-to-end view of the threat landscape. That same fragmentation also makes it challenging for AI agents to provide any meaningful benefit. As a result, some of the world's most important organizations have some of the weakest cybersecurity protection.

Cylake’s answer is to rebuild security from the hardware up, creating a complete, AI-native platform that maintains total data sovereignty for customers. Designed to operate on premises or in a private data center via a managed service provider, Cylake operates on a single ingestion pipeline and a unified data lake as its foundation, providing end-to-end visibility and empowering AI workflows with the context they need. The result is cybersecurity that works better, is more cost-effective, and keeps customer data fully sovereign.

“We’ve seen this gap in the cybersecurity market for several years, and our conversations with Design Partners are reinforcing why now is the time to fundamentally reimagine the technical stack,” said Nir Zuk, CEO and Founder of Cylake. “We’re thankful for the feedback our partners have provided already, and look forward to continuing to work with them ahead of our beta release.”

Cylake’s Design Partners program is still accepting a limited number of new participants who meet select requirements. For more information on joining the program, visit the website.
