# Cyvera

**Canonical:** https://apis.io/providers/cyvera/  
**APIs profiled:** 0

Cyvera was an Israeli cybersecurity startup, founded in 2011 and backed by Battery Ventures, that pioneered exploit-prevention endpoint security. Its flagship product, TRAPS (Targeted Remote Attack Prevention System), blocked unknown, zero-day attacks by obstructing the exploitation techniques attackers rely on rather than relying on signatures. Cyvera was acquired by Palo Alto Networks in April 2014 for roughly $200M, and TRAPS was folded into Palo Alto's endpoint offering that ultimately became Cortex XDR. The independent company no longer operates; the cyvera.com domain no longer resolves and there is no live developer portal, public API, or artifact surface to enrich.
