Cygilant

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This company is not meeting notability guidelines for inclusion in the Wikipedia? While there are many sources noted, they are virtually all advertising their capital raises. That does not show relevance in the market, just that they collected money from VCs. All of their references seem to be self-generated news releases about venture capital raises.

KEEP - The company has some less than cooperative history with the security community that is shown on the page. In addition they were hacked by NetWalker threat actors in Aug 2020. Which is ironic given their "Cybersecurity-as-a-Service" mission. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Miden (talk • contribs) 22:27, September 3, 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete I cannot locate a single reference that meets the criteria for establishing notability. Most are run-of-the-mill announcements or commentary on their twitter spat which contain no in-depth information on the company from an unaffiliated party. Topic fails GNG/NCORP.

 * Comment Discussion page was created without the afd2 template and never transcluded to a daily log. Fixed now--I have no opinion of my own at this time.   For future AfD nominations, please fully follow the instructions at WP:AFDHOWTO.  Thank you.  --Finngall talk  15:07, 15 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete The only WP:SIGCOV I see is of them being a victim of a ransomware attack (what I think Miden refers to as "NetWalker threat actors") and the CEO's Twitter meltdown. Those are WP:ONEEVENT stories and so do not contribute greatly to long-term notability. Eggishorn (talk) (contrib) 21:20, 24 September 2020 (UTC)
