And That’s a Wrap!

We are excited to share news about Cybercade's successful participation in the 2024 Global Insurance Accelerator (GIA). This year marked the 10th cohort of the GIA, with Cybercade being one of the seven startups invited to engage in this prestigious 100-day accelerator. Throughout the program, Cybercade was fortunate to be paired with eight exceptional mentors specializing in insurance, regulations, technology, behavioral science, marketing, and actuarial sciences.

We want to take this opportunity to thank our fabulous mentors for contributing their time and expertise to the GIA mentor program. They are all superheroes in our eyes! Dr. Claire Muselman, Travis Grassel, Dave DeCapp, James Ryan, Nehru Cheddie, Sydney Conrad-Cook, Ben Meader, Bryan Falchuk.

Our time at the GIA culminated in a final showcase where we pitched our innovative solution to a broad audience of industry leaders on the big stage. This invaluable experience has sharpened our product-market fit, refined our narrative, and solidified our go-to-market plan. The connections established during the accelerator promise to be crucial as Cybercade continues to expand and influence the insurance industry. We look forward to leveraging these insights and relationships to drive our growth and innovation.

Patent Pending: SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR MEASURING HUMAN FACTORS OF CYBERSECURITY RISK. U.S. Patent Application No.: 63/636,593

Cybercade’s platform motivates, measures, and manages human cyber risk — and the patent we filed on April 19th, 2024, describes our methodology for quantifying an employee's potential cybersecurity risk to their organization. Submitting the patent application is a significant step forward in the growth of Cybercade. Essentially, we’ve shone a light on human risk — the source of 74% of all data breaches in 2023. The score synthesizes three key areas to produce the industry’s first measuring stick for human risk in an organization.

1. What We Measure: An employee's interaction with Cybercade’s game-based training programs and their performance in Cybercade’s phishing simulation platform.

2. What We Know: Comprehensive knowledge about the employee, including their job title, tenure, role, responsibilities, and access to sensitive data.

3. What Others Know: Information that could be exploited by external threats, such as the employee's social media activity, compromised credentials, and personal data that might be accessible on the dark web.
