Security and risk management leaders pay attention when Gartner releases its annual Hype Cycle for Security Operations report, which shapes how organizations invest in SecOps capabilities to prepare for and defend against today’s relentless cyber threats.

That’s why we’re excited to share that BreachRx has been recognized in Gartner’s latest 2025 edition in the newly created Cybersecurity Incident Response Management (CIRM) category. This isn’t just recognition for us as a company, but it also signals a broader shift in how the industry is fundamentally rethinking how enterprises approach incident response.

Turning Chaos into Confidence

It’s almost cliche that today’s threat landscape is characterized by more frequent and complex incidents that carry greater consequences. From ransomware and insider threats to breaches that trigger regulatory scrutiny, organizations are under more pressure than ever to respond quickly, accurately, and confidently.

As Gartner notes, “CIRM allows cyber incident responders to have their own case management and workflow capabilities that allow for better overall cyber incident management, higher performance and tracking of incident resolution, and a more forensically secure system of record.”

Traditional ticketing tools and manual processes simply can’t keep up with the demands of increasingly complex incidents. Modern CIRM solutions bring order to chaos by managing workflows, streamlining collaboration, preserving evidence, enabling out-of-band communications, and ensuring that cross-functional teams can work seamlessly and consistently. The industry is moving beyond outdated playbooks and static response procedures to embrace a smarter, more unified approach.

Building the Future of Resilient Enterprises

BreachRx has led the evolution of how organizations approach cybersecurity incident readiness since its founding. Ours is the first intelligent incident response platform purpose-built to support the entire enterprise.
