01 / WHAT IT BUILT
What the company did
SynSaber is a Chandler, Arizona-based industrial control systems (ICS) and operational technology (OT) cybersecurity company founded in 2020. Its simple, flexible, scalable industrial asset and network monitoring solution provides continuous insight into status, vulnerabilities, and threats across the industrial ecosystem - empowering operators to observe, detect, and defend OT/IT systems and protect critical infrastructure. It launched SynSaber 1.0, a vendor-agnostic threat sensor for rapid OT visibility, in 2022, plus a free OT PCAP Analyzer tool. Privately held with funding from SYN Ventures, Rally Ventures, and Cyber Mentor Fund ($15.5M total), it added Snort creator Martin Roesch to its board. Craft.co lists its status as Closed, but no shutdown announcement was found.
