As part of the GISEC North Star Startups pitch competition, 20 cybersecurity startups made it into the finals, with Snode standing out for its innovation, scalability, and market impact.

Snode’s recognition is underpinned by its AI-powered threat detection platform, which delivers real-time analytics and scalable visibility across complex digital environments. Built upon this technological foundation, Snode’s experienced team has developed a suite of world-class managed services , including a continuous threat management approach aligned to the industry term CTEM, cyber programme development, and intelligence-led cyber defence. These offerings allow clients to proactively identify, prioritise, and reduce their cyber exposure with measurable impact.

“We’re proud to be recognised for the growth potential of a platform and managed service that transforms how enterprises manage cyber risk,” said Nithen Naidoo, CEO of Snode Technologies. “Our AI- and machine learning-driven detection capabilities, built into a CTEM-aligned framework, enable real-time insights at scale.
