Index Engines expands CyberSense reach & OEM alliances

Index Engines has reported increased global adoption of its CyberSense product, alongside a new US patent focused on ransomware collection and analysis and an expanded set of OEM partnerships.

The company said CyberSense usage expanded to 82 countries in 2025, up from 70 the year before. It also reported sales activity across 48 industries, with growth in regulated and asset-intensive sectors such as financial services, healthcare, telecoms and state government.

CyberSense forms part of Index Engines' cyber resilience portfolio. The company positions the product as a way for organisations to assess data integrity following an attack and make decisions about recovery points.

Index Engines said CyberSense "detects ransomware-induced corruption with 99.99% accuracy". The company also referenced a "99.99% SLA for detecting ransomware corruption".

Geographic spread

Index Engines said South America and Africa showed notable growth during the year. It did not provide a breakdown of revenue or customer counts by region.

The company described demand drivers in terms of risk management and regulatory pressure. It also cited concerns about the reliability of recovery after an attack.

Index Engines reported that financial services and healthcare led adoption by industry. It linked that to "strict regulatory requirements and heightened ransomware risk".

The company also highlighted telecoms, where it reported 62% year-on-year growth. Index Engines said the sector had expanded steadily for CyberSense over the past three years.

Index Engines listed health insurance, construction, agriculture, state government and retail among sectors that recorded significant growth. It did not provide comparative figures for those segments.

"These numbers tell a clear story: ransomware is relentless, and organizations are responding with urgency," said Jim McGann, Chief Marketing Officer, Index Engines.

McGann also described CyberSense's positioning in recovery decisions. "CyberSense is the gold standard for data integrity and confident data recovery. Organisations can't afford to risk their livelihood with uncertainty," said McGann.

Buying roles

Index Engines said CISOs, infrastructure architects, and storage managers and directors were the main buyers for CyberSense in 2025. The company also outlined three reasons customers gave for selecting the product.

Those reasons included uncertainty about recovery after an attack, witnessing similar organisations attacked, and the desire to strengthen cyber resilience strategy, the company said.

The update aligns with a broader rise in corporate spending on data recovery and resilience tools. Ransomware incidents often disrupt operations and complicate restoration when attackers tamper with data as well as encrypt it.

OEM partners

Index Engines also announced a fourth OEM partnership, naming Hitachi Vantara as the latest addition. It said the relationship sits alongside existing OEM arrangements with Dell Technologies, IBM and Infinidat.

The company said the collaboration integrates CyberSense with Hitachi Vantara's VSP One Block hybrid cloud infrastructure. Index Engines described the combined offering as a single package backed by a "Cyber Resilience Guarantee".

Index Engines said the joint solution became globally available in October 2025. It did not disclose commercial terms for the OEM deal or how revenue will be shared.

Patent detail

Separately, Index Engines said it received a new US patent in July, numbered 12248574. The company described the patent as an "AI-driven process that automates the collection, detection, and analysis of emerging ransomware threats".

Index Engines said its CyberSense Research Lab developed the approach. The company described a controlled environment for ingesting and analysing ransomware variants, with continuous training for AI and machine learning models based on observed attack patterns.

It framed the outcome as faster corruption detection and more informed recovery decisions. The company also linked the work to "stronger data integrity for organizations battling today's sophisticated cyber criminals".

"These numbers tell a clear story: ransomware is relentless, and organizations are responding with urgency," said Jim McGann, Chief Marketing Officer, Index Engines.

Index Engines said it expects continued engagement from regulated industries and sectors with complex infrastructure environments as organisations review resilience practices and requirements for recovery assurance.
