NopalCyber is a managed security services provider offering combined offensive and defensive cybersecurity services. Its offensive services include penetration testing, breach and attack simulation, resilience testing, and vulnerability scanning, delivered in part through a report called NopalDiscovery. Its defensive services cover a 24/7 security operations center (SOC) that provides managed detection and response (MDR), user and entity behavior analytics (UEBA), network traffic analysis (NTA), and security orchestration, automation and response (SOAR) across cloud, endpoint, application, and on-premises environments. The company also provides advisory services, including on-demand advisory and virtual CISO (vCISO) offerings, to help organizations address emerging threats, vulnerabilities, and regulatory requirements. NopalCyber additionally offers NopalGo, a proprietary mobile app and web portal that gives customers visibility into their cybersecurity posture and threat exposure. NopalGo includes a metric called the Cyber Intelligence Quotient (CIQ) intended to quantify risk and resiliency, along with real-time updates and direct access to security experts through the app. The page describes the company's overall service portfolio rather than a single standalone product.</description> <parameter name="summary">MSSP offering offensive testing, 24/7 SOC/MDR defense, vCISO advisory, and a visibility app
