The problem

Nine in ten security breaches start with a staff member clicking a link, and yearly training videos change nobody's behaviour.

The solution

Cobalt Security sends each person realistic practice attacks based on their role and teaches them in the moment, in under a minute.

Who it's for

IT and security leads at companies with 50–2,000 staff.

Market

Bottom-up: about 75,000 customers like this in Estonia and nearby, worth roughly $200 million a year at our prices.

Competition and edge

What people use today

Mostly spreadsheets, phone calls and doing nothing. The established suppliers sell to large organisations and are too expensive and too slow to set up for the customers we serve.

Why this team wins

Kristjan led incident response at a bank and investigated more than 200 breaches, so the team knows the buyers by name. Liis built the core technology, and the first customers came by referral.

Headline metric

8,900 active users, growing 11% a month

The team

Kristjan knows the customer and has sold to them before; Liis has built this kind of system at scale. We have worked side by side since before Cobalt Security had a name.
