Media Legend Delivers Hacking Challenge

Best known for MythBusters and Adam Savage's Tested on YouTube, Savage has spent decades testing popular understandings of situations that affect us all, from running in the rain to driving with car windows down. At Cy4Data, he'll bring that same objective analysis to another popular concern: cybersecurity. In this advisory role, Savage will challenge conventional thinking, put bold claims to the test, and help the company prove what happens when you stop accepting the way data security has always been done.

"I truly appreciate the vision Cy4Data brings to the future of cybersecurity, and was delighted to accept their invitation as advisor," said Savage. "I look forward to helping Cy4Data show the world that while data breaches may be inevitable, they don't have to deliver value to cybercriminals."

Red Team Challenge

Adam Savage's Red Team Challenge is an exclusive, controlled-access event providing select members of the U.S. government and national security community an opportunity to experience Cy4Data Labs' new approach to cybersecurity. Cy4Secure is designed not simply to improve today's defenses, but to fundamentally change the security landscape.

Participation in the Red Team Challenge is by invitation only and is being extended to a limited group of qualified personnel from the U.S. government, defense, intelligence, and cyber operations communities. This challenge is an opportunity to experience technology with the potential to fundamentally reshape how critical systems are protected, before the rest of the world sees it.

"I joined Cy4Data Labs because the company had fully realized a new approach to data security that can protect data against today's most urgent threats to digital infrastructure and the fast-evolving quantum future," said Paul Craft, retired U.S. Army Brigadier General, former U.S. Army Chief of Cyber, and advisor to Cy4Data Labs. "I'm excited that the world is catching on: the ability to attract talent like Adam and then put the company's IP to the test with this challenge demonstrates incredible momentum for this company at this transformational moment across the global threat landscape."
