Mandos

Mandos is a cybersecurity market intelligence company founded and operated by Nikoloz Kokhreidze, a practitioner with 14 years of experience on the security buyer side. The company operates under three main offerings: - CybersecTools: An independent cybersecurity product discovery platform cataloguing 9,000+ products across 16 categories, mapped to the NIST CSF 2.0 framework. - CybersecRadars: A competitive intelligence platform tracking 3,200+ cybersecurity companies, providing category momentum data, funding signals, and competitive positioning insights. - CISO Lens: An advisory service aimed at cybersecurity vendors, offering three engagement types — Audit (vendor positioning and messaging review), Benchmark (competitive analysis, battle cards, threat matrix), and Advisory (ongoing monthly retainer for product and go-to-market strategy). The target clients are cybersecurity vendors — from early-stage startups to scaling companies — seeking to improve their market positioning, competitive benchmarking, and enterprise sales effectiveness. The advisory work is grounded in first-party data from the CybersecTools and CybersecRadars platforms. Engagements are founder-led and selective, with a limited number of vendor clients taken on per quarter. The founder's background includes security roles at JDE Peet's, Intrum (M&A security due diligence across 24 EEA markets), and Mambu, as well as earlier work in banking integrations and ISP CERT operations.
