Building the Next Generation of Cyber Professionals

ThinkCyber Is Founded

Founded by David Shiffman and a group of his strongest students, ThinkCyber initially focused on practical exercises and coursebooks for law-enforcement cybersecurity training.

Forensic investigation and penetration-testing services ensured that training content remained closely connected to real professional work.

The Need for a Practical Platform

During a project in Africa, the team identified the limitations of classroom-only learning and the need for a platform capable of delivering realistic, hands-on cyber training.

Research began on a system that could convert real events into practical scenarios and give learners real-time operational capabilities.

A Complete Learning Ecosystem

The platform expanded to include hands-on laboratories, coursebooks, realistic scenarios and detailed progress monitoring for both learners and cyber-unit leaders.

This allowed organizations to identify strengths and weaknesses and assign personnel to roles and missions more effectively.

Specto Is Launched

Specto was introduced to help countries identify, understand and prepare for active cyberattacks through real-time intelligence and machine-learning analysis of attacker commands, tools and infrastructure.

Specto Meets Cyberium

Specto intelligence was integrated into Cyberium, enabling training scenarios based on recent attack data and establishing a new level of relevance and realism in cybersecurity education.
