CySoft is a division of the Cyril Corporation that specializes in computer software.

Many businesses were destroyed during the 2002 Rikti Invasion, especially software companies. This opened the field for both Crey Industries and CyCorp to fill the gap.

Crey was the first to the market with their CreyWare line of operating systems and productivity packages. Almost immediately the critics bashed the programs as being "Cr@pWare", and there were accusations of intellectual property theft from other previous operating systems. Although Crey attorneys were able to quash the lawsuits and provide documents of their reverse-engineering, software critics still have little to say positively about the company or its products.

CySoft soon followed, providing a simple and reliable operating system based more towards businesses. Once they developed their credibility, they eventually expanded into the personal and home software services, much to the pleasure of programmers that were tired of the buggy and adware-filled CreyWare programs.

Today CySoft provides the operating system for the CPCU systems used by most supergroups in Paragon City as well as those in the Rogue Isles. They are also the preferred company for more than half of the businesses in Paragon City, especially in Steel Canyon. While they will not claim that their software is "hack-proof" (a dubious claim once made by a CreyWare executive) they will say that their software has not failed, and have even gone so far as to place a million-dollar bounty on the hacker that could force their CreyWare OS to crash.
