Cyber Intelligence 4U

What Cyber Intelligence 4U does

Cyber Intelligence 4U (CIU) is a New York-based private cybersecurity and AI governance education company founded in 2018. It delivers executive and operational training to three distinct segments — IT professionals, business leaders and executives, and students — through 100+ structured programs supported by a network of 400+ advisors and 50+ partner organizations, with a stated reach of 5,000+ students.

The company's product portfolio rests on three layers: a curriculum of 100+ cybersecurity and AI governance programs, an internship program that connects students to industry placements, and a flagship AI Governance book published via Routledge. Curriculum delivery is digital (web properties cyberintelu.online and cyberintelu.com) and leverages the large advisor bench as the principal content and instruction resource, allowing a small core team (1-10 employees) to operate at disproportionate scale relative to headcount.

The business model combines program tuition, book royalties/sales through Routledge distribution, and internship-pipeline partnerships, though specific pricing is not publicly disclosed. Leadership consists of Tom Mannings, Amihai Pantz (COO), Derek Hornby (CTO), and Ariel Evans (President and Founder). To date the company has disclosed a single $1,250,000 funding event in September 2020, with no subsequent rounds, revenue figures, or pricing transparency available.
