As former senior cyber security and GRC executives for large multi-national businesses, we have a unique understanding of the pressure that security and GRC teams face within organisations. They are constantly challenged with managing and mitigating cyber risks, and face a lack of tools, aggregated and qualified information, limited resources, poor processes and a scarcity of qualified experts. This leads to potentially uncontrollable cyber risks.

We help CISOs who need to regain control, lower their risk profile and return to addressing higher level business needs. As people who are driven by the bigger picture, our goal is to help them and the companies they work for to succeed.

We also strongly believe that cyber security can help organisations to innovate and gain a competitive edge, especially considering the accelerated digital transformation of working practices.

That’s why we continually screen the market for the latest cyber developments which will help mid to large organisations achieve their commercial goals by mitigating cyber risks, reducing vulnerabilities, improving automation, reducing complexity, increasing growth and innovating.

The solutions we devise are always tailored to our clients’ cyber security requirements with the service level and elements they want. Plans can vary from a fully managed service through to a simple quarterly cyber security internal newsletter.

Our process is a collaborative journey from initial point of contact to the creation of a well-crafted solution that will support your cyber security and wider commercial goals. We thoroughly enjoy understanding what success looks like for each client and devising creative solutions that help them achieve it.

Communication is paramount throughout our entire process from the start, through to implementation and review points. As experienced cyber security leaders, coaches and consultants, we are experienced in how to engage everyone within your business from C-suite down and how to develop your line management to support you in your efforts.

Our business is a personal one; we forge relationships with our clients that don’t end as soon as their solutions are in place. Using our start-up network, we can help develop new solutions that bridge gaps and fit your unique specifications.

If you are a CISO or CSO in the DACH region or across Europe looking for the latest cyber security innovation and/or tailored support and advice on how to achieve your cyber security goals, then please get in touch.

Be cyber confident.

Cybovate has been co-founded by Andi Heckel and Andreas Wuchner in 2021 with the objective of creating a small to medium sized cyber security business that would stand-out for its human-first approach.

As two highly experienced senior cyber security and GRC executives, they knew that most cyber security failures were down to inadequate security cultures not the individuals within them. Equally they wanted to create a business that would ensure they as individuals would be an asset to their network and industry whilst making the most of their personal skill-sets.

Today, cybovate is a fast moving and agile business that works with two distinct sets of clients. Firstly, mid to large multi-national organisations operating in Europe or the DACH region that need help finding innovative cyber security solutions that will positively impact the business and the individuals within them. And secondly, cybovate works with established and mature cyber-tech start-ups that either need senior level strategic advice or need help to grow their business by finding new clients within Europe.

Cybovate is run by Andi Heckel and Lars Rudolff. Their goal is to unleash the potential within the businesses they work with.

Our vision is to mitigate cyber risks to the point where they are no longer a concern for anyone’s existence, and cybercriminals no longer perceive them as a profitable endeavor.
