Our Story
2017
Cyber Guru is born
Cyber Guru was born in Italy in 2017 to meet the needs of a large Italian bank aware that to increase resistance to Cyber attacks it was necessary to act on the human factor, identified as the real weak link in the defensive chain.
The scouting done among the major Cyber Security Awareness solutions on the market, however, had highlighted significant limitations in terms of potential effectiveness and management complexity.
Starting from a specific need, the platform, by the end of 2019, had already transformed into a comprehensive and effective program, becoming in a short time, a real point of reference in the field of Cyber Security Awareness for the entire Italian market.

The year 2021 marks two important milestones.
The successful closing of the first funding round of €3.6 million with two funds specializing in early stage companies, P101 Ventures and Adara Ventures, and the doubling of revenues, accompanied by significant growth in the market.
The client portfolio now consists of more than 430 organizations including major entities, both in the public and private sectors, with a complete cross-section in terms of both commodity sectors and size, that have relied on Cyber Guru’s training programs.
A 2023 that will see Cyber Guru strengthen its presence in the country, and aim for international expansion in France and Spain.

Cyber Guru Academy: content that makes a difference
Conceiving, designing, and producing training content that can generate interest, engagement, and motivation to learn is a daily challenge for Cyber Guru’s Academy department.
Because it has become clear that training people to defend themselves against cyber crime requires more than a catchy platform and a multitude of content.
Designing and delivering truly effective training programs means turning technology content into content that is functional for learning by everyone, even those who have a complex relationship with technology.
This transformation process can only be achieved if you have 5 very strong competencies on the following topics: Cybersecurity, Psychology, Andragogy, Communication and Multimedia.
