What cyberconIQ does

cyberconIQ is a private cybersecurity company that has built a patented Human Defense Platform combining behavioral science with security awareness technology to address the human factor in cyber risk. The platform is anchored by the patented myQ Risk Style Assessment (US Patent #11,411,978), an 8–10 minute trait-based personality test that categorizes employees into one of four risk-style quadrants, and is extended through the unIQue adaptive learning system, the cybermetrIQs risk-quantification dashboard, the phishFixIQ phishing remediation module, the leaderIQ leadership coaching product, and the AIQ™ hyper-personalized AI cyber coach. The company's stated methodology, branded CYBERology™, positions the intersection of cybersecurity and psychology as its core differentiator versus generic awareness training.

The company sells primarily through an enterprise field-sales motion targeting CISOs, CEOs, boards, and security leaders, supported by a Partner Advantage Program of resellers and managed service providers (Reclamere, ICS Cyber Management, ISG, Edgeworx, cenergi, Varisource) and a self-serve SaaS channel with SCORM-format delivery. Revenue is generated through annual or multi-year SaaS subscriptions, fee-based advisory services (incident response simulation, compliance and regulatory advisory, cyber insurance review, AI executive briefings, AI readiness assessments), and channel/partner revenue. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, and the company offers a money-back guarantee tied to phishing-failure reduction.

Founded around 2019–2020 by CEO Dr. James Norrie, a professor of cybersecurity at York College of Pennsylvania, cyberconIQ is headquartered in York, Pennsylvania, and is legally registered as cyberconIQ Ltd. under Netherlands jurisdiction. The company has raised disclosed funding through rounds in 2021 and 2023, including a $4.5 million convertible debt financing led by StonegateIG LLC in April 2023, and was named a Representative Provider in the 2022 Gartner Innovation Insight on Security Behavior and Culture Program Capabilities Report. Customer logos span insurance (National Insurance Group), mining (Wesdome Gold Mines), healthcare (Renova Health), and membership organizations (CAA Club Group), with additional reach through partner-led mid-market deployments.

Direct peers

• KnowBe4: The largest pure-play security awareness and phishing simulation vendor. Directly comparable as both target the same buyer (CISO/training lead), the same use case (reducing human-factor risk via training and simulated phishing), and the same SaaS delivery model — though at vastly greater scale and with generic-content orientation rather than behavioral personalization.
• Hoxhunt: Security awareness and phishing simulation vendor built around personalized, gamified training — conceptually the closest direct competitor to cyberconIQ's style-aligned, behavior-change approach. Targets the same enterprise buyer with a similar SaaS deployment and outcome-based effectiveness claims.
• Cofense: Phishing defense and security awareness vendor specializing in phishing detection, reporting, and remediation. Overlaps directly with cyberconIQ's phishFixIQ phishing remediation capability and targets a similar enterprise buyer.
• NINJIO: Security awareness training vendor producing episodic, behavior-focused content. Comparable in training focus and SMB-to-enterprise target customer, with similar emphasis on changing user behavior rather than simply delivering compliance content.

Broad incumbents

• Proofpoint Security Awareness: Enterprise security vendor offering security awareness training as part of its broader people-centric security portfolio. Comparable buyer and use case (human-factor risk reduction), but Proofpoint bundles training with email security, threat intelligence, and DLP, competing on integrated platform rather than methodology.
• SANS Institute: Long-established cybersecurity training and certification organization with an enterprise security awareness program (SANS Security Awareness). Comparable as a security awareness content/training provider targeting enterprise security leaders, though primarily content-led rather than personality-based.
• Sophos Phish Threat: Phishing simulation and security awareness offering from endpoint/network security incumbent Sophos. Comparable phishing-awareness and training use case, typically sold as part of a broader Sophos security bundle to mid-market and enterprise customers.
• Microsoft Attack Simulator: Built-in phishing simulation and security awareness capability within Microsoft Defender for Office 365. Represents a major free/bundled alternative for Microsoft-365-heavy enterprises that could displace paid awareness vendors on price — directly competitive on the phishing-training use case.

Emerging players

• Living Security: Security awareness and human-risk platform that combines training with behavioral measurement and analytics. Compares to cyberconIQ's blend of behavioral science, risk quantification dashboards, and culture-focused outcomes, though with a different content format (escape rooms, video).
• Cybrary: Cybersecurity skills and awareness platform offering training content and hands-on learning. Compares as a security learning/training provider targeting both enterprise and individual learners, though focused more on technical skill-building than behavioral-personality training.
