Cynomi adds automation & AI for MSP vulnerability work

Cynomi has expanded its platform with new vulnerability management integrations, automated scanning, a central file repository and broader AI tools in what it describes as its largest product update to date.

The release adds seven integrations with vulnerability management products from Tenable, Rapid7 InsightVM, CrowdStrike Falcon Spotlight, SentinelOne Singularity Vulnerability Management, Tanium Exposure Management, Upwind and Qualys. It also introduces scheduled weekly or monthly scans and a repository for reports, remediation evidence, policies and compliance documents for each client environment.

Cynomi sells its software to managed service providers, managed security service providers and virtual Chief Information Security Officer consultancies. The new functions are intended to help those partners manage security and compliance work across large numbers of customer environments from a single system.

The expansion addresses a practical problem for service providers handling vulnerability management for multiple clients. Cynomi says partners can spend between three and eight hours a week per client on manual tasks such as starting scans, importing results, updating remediation plans and preparing compliance evidence.

For a provider with 15 clients, that workload can reach 120 hours a week. Cynomi argues that automating those steps would let providers spend more time on advisory work rather than administration.

Workflow changes

The release is designed to create a continuous workflow between identifying vulnerabilities, planning remediation and gathering compliance evidence. Scan data from third-party tools is brought into Cynomi, where it can be linked to remediation plans, control mapping and audit preparation.

Scheduled Scans is intended to remove the need for staff to launch scans manually or upload files whenever a review is required. The feature supports ongoing oversight against frameworks including CMMC, HIPAA, ISO 27001 and CIS Controls.

The Files Repository is aimed at audit readiness. Files can be tied directly to controls within each client environment and then exported for audit purposes, reducing preparation time from hours to minutes, according to Cynomi.

At the centre of the update is what Cynomi calls its CISO Intelligence infrastructure. The company says this layer turns vulnerability data into prioritised remediation, compliance and governance tasks.

The release also expands the role of its AI Findings Coworker. Cynomi says the tool reviews incoming scan results, flags conflicts and emerging risks, and recommends remediation updates that partners can approve.

MSP focus

Cynomi is targeting a market in which managed service providers are under pressure to deliver more security work across a growing client base without adding staff at the same pace. By combining integrations, automation, compliance documentation and AI-based assistance in one platform, it is seeking to position itself as an operating layer for those providers.

That approach reflects a wider shift in the managed security market, where partners increasingly want platforms that connect technical findings with compliance reporting and client-facing governance work. Rather than treating vulnerability data as a separate function, suppliers are trying to tie it to remediation tracking and evidence collection.

David Primor, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Cynomi, outlined the company's view of service provider demand. "MSPs don't need more security tools, they need a way to scale security outcomes across hundreds of client environments," he said.

"This release brings together integrations, automation, compliance management and AI-powered execution into a single platform that helps partners operate continuous security programs at scale. By reducing manual effort and turning security data into actionable outcomes, we're helping service providers improve client results, increase operational efficiency and grow cybersecurity revenue."

The new integrations, Scheduled Scans and Files Repository are now available. The launch broadens Cynomi's offering beyond assessment and monitoring by linking vulnerability findings more directly to remediation work, compliance management and audit preparation.
