Turning cybersecurity
practical for businesses

Cybersecurity impacts everyone, making it vital to understand our role in protecting digital spaces. Whether professional, student, or everyday user, we all share responsibility for practicing safe online habits.

Our story

Practical Cyber was born out of Ethan's desire to bridge a massive gap - between business, cybersecurity and operations. While we have spent a lot of time training technically strong cybersecurity practitioners, the gap between technical and non-technical people was getting wider, creating a greater divide.As such, cybersecurity has become a sensitive topic that is hard to traverse. For those with no technical background, it is too immense for them to tackle.

For the technical people, they cannot get the engagement of the business leaders and operations.Working with cybersecurity experts, business leaders and experienced adult trainers, Practical Cyber is designed to equip all stakeholders of cybersecurity, from the employees to the C-suite to the board members, to understand cybersecurity; and for cybersecurity practitioners to understand and enhance their roles within their organisations.

We are actively developing research and content to bridge the gap, while engaging with organisations on a business level to demystify cybersecurity, and building programs to equip technical practitioners.

We look forward to changing the cybersecurity market by engaging differently and meaningfully, to improve the cybersecurity posture of every individual and organisation.
