Cyttraction is a German-Estonian Cybersecurity Awareness as a Service Startup, providing innovative recurring trainings and working on a “Gold Standard” that brings technical as well as social cybersecurity initiatives on eye-level and makes progress measurable.
Founded in September 2020, Cyttraction will publish the first scalable online course in fall/ winter 2021. Until then, we look forward to welcoming you to our Cybersecurity Bootcamps.
Feature film-style training video that fits your learning habits, helping you improve both awareness and skills to protect yourself, your loved ones and your employer against cyber attacks.
Certification that allows you to anchor your achievement and show your new skills to the world. No matter if you are searching a promotion or reaching out to the market.
A great community and engineering support – for the upgrade of your Smart Home or any other tech project you have on your plate. You are not alone with your digital challenge!
What drives us:
Our requirement for ourselves is to offer IT security training that is so attractive that users would voluntarily complete it in their free time and pay for it with their own money. Especially with an eye on future generations who have grown up with social media and gamification and whose attention span is continually decreasing.
Carolin Desirée Toepfer
Why falling in <3 with Cyttraction?
We believe in community, lifelong learning and humans as the opportunity, not risk, in fighting cybercrime as a global human firewall, based on the power of all.
This is why we sell our services to those who can and will afford, while donating to those who cannot.
Our pledge
A free course for a student or unemployed person for every course sold.
Sifted.eu already named us among the “Pioneers of the new world”:
This startup focuses on remotely teaching employees about key risks like cybersecurity — which should see fresh attention as our reliance on digital communications increases. More broadly, as training days move online, edtech for employees could be a trend.
