ProcessUnity, provider of comprehensive end-to-end third-party risk management and cybersecurity solutions to leading enterprises, has been named winner of the Black Unicorn Awards for 2023 from Cyber Defense Magazine (CDM), the industry’s leading electronic information security magazine. Demand for risk management solutions has exponentially increased, providing ProcessUnity with unique growth opportunities demonstrated through strategic market acquisitions, platform innovations and customer expansion.

“We’re pleased to name ProcessUnity as a winner among a small, elite group of cybersecurity industry leaders in our annual Black Unicorn awards,” said Judges Dr. Lindsey Polley de Lopez of www.VentureScope.com, Robert R. Ackerman Jr. of www.allegiscyber.com, Dino Boukouris of www.momentumcyber.com and Gary Miliefsky of www.cyberdefensemediagroup.com.

ProcessUnity competed against many of the industry’s leading providers of cybersecurity products and services for this prestigious award. This win signifies ProcessUnity’s potential to reach a $1 billion-dollar valuation within the next one to three years. ProcessUnity closed 2022 with record-sales, citing significant software subscription growth with a solid mix of new customer wins and program expansion at existing clients. The company introduced significant updates to its Third-Party and Cybersecurity Risk solutions to better address the two biggest risks its clients face in their businesses today. Most notably, ProcessUnity acquired third-party cyber risk management company, CyberGRX, in July of this year.

“We are thrilled to see ProcessUnity acknowledged as a Black Unicorn for 2023. The proliferation of third-party breaches and supply chain attacks has generated an insatiable appetite for risk management solutions. We’re seizing this opportunity and making significant strides on our journey to becoming a ‘one stop shop’ for risk management, mitigating both third-party and cyber risks. We’ve achieved major company milestones and have made strategic product decisions that are spreading further market expansion. We’re well positioned to continue the momentum next year and beyond,” said Sean Cronin, CEO of ProcessUnity.
