Right-Hand Cybersecurity offers a Human Risk Management (HRM) platform designed to mitigate cyber risk originating from human error within organizations. The platform integrates Agentic Security Awareness, phishing simulations with triage capabilities, and tailored security awareness training to proactively address and modify employee behavior. This comprehensive approach leverages technology to adapt to the evolving threat landscape and reduce susceptibility to social engineering attacks.
The company was established in 2019 by co-founders Theo Nasser and Uzair Ahmed, who both brought expertise from the cybersecurity and EdTech sectors. Their founding insight stemmed from observing that significant investments in perimeter defenses did not prevent data breaches, highlighting a critical gap in addressing human factors. They recognized the need for a technological solution that could effectively change employee behavior at a pace commensurate with rapidly developing cyber threats.
Right-Hand's solutions serve security awareness officers and Security Operations Center (SOC) leaders across global markets, including Asia-Pacific, North America, and Europe. The company is driven by a mission to enhance employee cyber resilience, empowering businesses to regain control from malicious actors. They aim to fundamentally shift how organizations manage and reduce human-centric vulnerabilities, fostering a more secure operational environment.

Right-Hand Cybersecurity is a SaaS platform specializing in Human Risk Management to enhance employee cyber resilience through AI-powered tools that address awareness, behavior, and culture. Founded in 2019, it tackles the fact that employees cause nearly 90% of data breaches by offering hyper-personalized phishing and vishing simulations, automated training from policies/documents, and compliance assessments, serving security teams in Asia-Pacific, North America, and Europe.[1][2][3] The company has raised $6M in total funding (including a recent $5M round), employs around 34 people, and reports $6M in revenue, demonstrating strong growth momentum amid rising cyber threats.[3]
Right-Hand Cybersecurity was founded in 2019 by Theo Nasser (Co-Founder & CEO) and Uzair Ahmed (Co-Founder & CTO), both experts in cybersecurity and EdTech.[1][5] While working in the industry, they noticed global clients spending millions on perimeter defenses yet suffering breaches due to human error, revealing the gap in platforms that evolve employee behavior alongside threats.[1] This insight led to pioneering Human Risk Management; they've built a team, secured investors (including Singapore Government backers), and gained early traction with clients worldwide, shifting focus from traditional security to proactive employee empowerment.[1][2]
Right-Hand rides the AI-driven cybersecurity shift toward human-centric defenses, as 90% of breaches stem from employee errors amid evolving threats like deep fakes and sophisticated phishing.[1][2][5] Timing is ideal with global cyber workforce shortages (still 4M short) and rising AI threats, positioning it to capitalize on market forces like regulatory demands for compliance and enterprises seeking automated, scalable training over outdated methods.[5][3] It influences the ecosystem by pioneering Human Risk Management, empowering SOC leaders and reducing reliance on perimeter tech, while fostering a "cyber culture" that scales across industries like manufacturing and travel.[1][5]
Right-Hand is poised for accelerated growth through AI enhancements in vishing/phishing and global expansion, potentially capturing more of the $6M revenue trajectory with its $6M funding fueling product iteration.[3] Trends like AI-augmented threats and compliance mandates will amplify demand, evolving its role from niche innovator to essential platform in enterprise security stacks. As human error remains the weakest link, Right-Hand's mission to make employees cyber resilient positions it to redefine resilience in an adversary-dominated landscape.[1]
