CyberVista

What CyberVista does

CyberVista, founded in 2016 in Arlington, Virginia, is a cybersecurity workforce development company that has operated since its merger with CyberWire under the corporate parent N2K Networks, Inc., a Maryland corporation headquartered at 8110 Maple Lawn Blvd, Fulton, MD. The business combines a media platform (N2K CyberWire), a certification-readiness training platform (N2K Certify / certify.cybervista.net), an enterprise talent intelligence product (N2K Talent Insights), and a community/knowledge platform (N2K Space) to serve both individual cybersecurity and IT professionals and enterprise security organizations. Core technology assets consist of a catalog of trusted certification practice and study materials, daily and weekly podcast and briefing content distributed to an annual audience of approximately 1.8 million cybersecurity professionals and influencers, and a learner base of more than 1.5 million cyber and IT professionals consuming N2K Certify training content.

The company's products are delivered through a hybrid GTM that pairs product-led, self-serve individual training (certify.cybervista.net) and community-led growth (CyberWire podcasts, News2Knowledge newsletter) with direct enterprise sales and partner-integrated distribution to enterprise security teams. Named enterprise customers span technology (Microsoft, Amazon), cybersecurity vendors (Palo Alto Networks, SpyCloud, KnowBe4, ThreatLocker, Devo), healthcare (TRIMEDX), and federal government (US Army). Revenue is generated primarily through recurring subscription models across Certification Training Products and Enterprise Learning Solutions, with enterprise customer engagement and individual certification purchases constituting the two principal revenue streams.

Leadership is led by founder and CEO Simone Petrella, with Jung Lee serving as Chief Product Officer. The company employs 11-50 people and operates in a Global Cyber Security Training Market valued at $17.92 billion in 2024 and projected to reach $40.78 billion by 2035 at a 7.76% CAGR.
