PSYBER INCORPORATED LIMITED

What PSYBER INCORPORATED LIMITED does

Psyber Incorporated Limited is a UK-based, pre-revenue cybersecurity startup founded in November 2024 and headquartered in Birmingham. The company is building a behavioural cyber risk platform that quantifies human-factor vulnerabilities using psychological indicators, sentiment data, and machine learning, converting qualitative human behaviours into measurable cyber risk scores for organisations. Its core product portfolio centres on the Psyber Behavioral Risk Platform and the Psyber Resilience Framework, which integrate with workplace communication tools including Slack, Microsoft Teams, and employee engagement platforms to analyse sentiment, surface emerging human-factor risks, and deliver targeted interventions such as smart nudges and micro-training.

The commercial motion is hybrid: a self-serve beta programme opened in July 2025 sits alongside direct enterprise outreach to CISOs, People Leads, and compliance teams. Target customer segments include security-focused enterprises, high-growth scale-ups, research-driven UK public-sector teams, and verticals spanning finance, healthcare, government (including the defence supply chain), and education. The revenue model is subscription-based SaaS, but no pricing tiers, contracts, or ARR have been publicly disclosed.

The company is led by a small team of 1-10 anchored by Sevgi Aksoy (Lead Cyber Psychology Research Consultant, currently pursuing a second master's in cyber psychology) and Wayne Horkan (contributing author). Psyber is founder-owned with no disclosed institutional funding, no named customers, no partnerships, and no certifications recorded to date.

Broad incumbents

• Proofpoint Security Awareness: Enterprise security awareness and human-risk module within Proofpoint's broader threat-protection suite. Overlaps in buyer (CISO) and category (human risk), but ships as part of a much larger platform.
• SANS Security Awareness: Established security awareness training provider with strong content and certification programmes. Reaches the same CISO/awareness buyer Psyber targets, but from a content/training rather than behavioural-quantification angle.
• KnowBe4: Market-leading security awareness and human-risk platform with a large content library and enterprise sales footprint. Competes for the same 'reduce human cyber risk' budget that Psyber targets, but at much greater scale.

Direct peers

• CybSafe: UK-based human risk management platform that quantifies and reduces cybersecurity behaviours. Most directly comparable to Psyber in geography, category, and buyer (CISO, People teams), making it the closest head-to-head competitor.
• Living Security: Human risk management platform combining behavioural science, gamified training, and culture analytics. Comparable in its use of behavioural science and culture-oriented security interventions.
• Hoxhunt: Behavioural security platform focused on phishing behaviour change using gamified micro-training and personalised nudges. Closely aligned with Psyber's behavioural-nudge and micro-training differentiation.
• Tessian: Human-layer security platform using behavioural analysis to prevent data loss and email-based threats. Comparable behavioural-analytics approach applied to human risk in the enterprise.
• Elevate Security: Human risk scoring platform that uses behavioural telemetry to identify and reduce insider and human-factor risk. Directly overlaps with Psyber's risk-score/heatmap value proposition.

Emerging players

• Axio: Cyber risk quantification platform that translates cybersecurity posture into financial risk metrics. Comparable in its risk-scoring and quantification ethos, though focused on broader cyber risk rather than purely human factors.
• Nucleus Cyber: Information-protection platform with human-risk scoring on collaboration tooling, adjacent to Psyber's behavioural risk scoring integrated with workplace collaboration platforms.
