We Believe Cybersecurity is a Human Problem with a Human Solution

For too long, cybersecurity has been treated as a technical challenge requiring technical solutions. More tools, more controls, more policies. But after years working with thousands of users, we've learned something different: security fails when it ignores human nature, and succeeds when it embraces it.

Our Origin Story

SibylSoft wasn't born in a boardroom or venture capital pitch. It emerged from the trenches of a real security team at the University of Arizona, facing an impossible challenge: secure everything with almost nothing.


The traditional approach of centralized control, expert gatekeepers, and compliance through enforcement, had hit a wall. Less than 12 security plans were maintained despite the need for covering hundreds of resources. Most of the organization operated in shadow IT, invisible and unmanaged. The math didn't work: comprehensive coverage would cost $2.57 million they didn't have.



So instead of doing more of what wasn't working, they tried something radical: trust people.

What We've Learned

People Make Good Decisions When Given Good Tools

Resource teams don't make bad security decisions because they're careless. They make bad decisions when they lack context, knowledge, and support. Given the right guidance at the right moment, the same team that created shadow IT will build robust, compliant security plans; often better than centralized teams could, because they understand their systems intimately.

Progress Beats Perfection

A security plan that's 70% perfect but actually exists beats a 100% perfect plan that never gets created. We've helped organizations transform from a handful of perfect plans (and hundreds of undocumented systems) to comprehensive coverage of good-enough plans that improve over time.

Trust Creates Responsibility

When teams feel monitored and micromanaged, they provide minimum compliance and deflect accountability. When they feel trusted and empowered, they seek help when needed, document decisions carefully, and take ownership of outcomes. Psychological safety isn't just nice to have, it's the foundation of effective security.

Expertise is for Sharing

Traditional GRC creates queues at the security team's door. Every decision, every assessment, every plan waits for expert review. But expertise doesn't need to be hoarded; it can be embedded, automated, and delivered exactly when and where it's needed.

Our Approach

Federated Cyber Risk Management

We didn't invent distributed responsibility; we just made it work. By combining intelligent automation, embedded expertise, and behavioral design, we've proven that resource teams can own their security while security teams own the standards.



AI as Enabler, Not Replacement

Our AI doesn't make decisions for people, it helps people make better decisions. Thia, our hybrid AI platform, acts as a knowledgeable colleague who's always available, never judges, and helps teams navigate complexity without requiring expertise.

Built on Behavioral Science

Every feature in Sibylity reflects years of research and development as we learned how people actually work:


  • Gamification that rewards participation without feeling patronizing
  • Positive framing that makes it safe to report problems
  • Guided workflows that reduce cognitive load
  • Just-in-time knowledge that arrives exactly when needed


Our Mission

To prove that every organization can achieve comprehensive security coverage, not through bigger budgets, but through better approaches that embrace human nature instead of fighting it.


We're not here to sell you another tool that gathers dust. We're here to fundamentally change how organizations approach cybersecurity: from burden to capability, from bottleneck to enablement, from theater to reality.

Learn more.

If you're tired of security theater, compliance checkboxes, and tools that assume perfection, you're in the right place. If you believe that people, given the right support, can be your strongest security asset rather than your weakest link, we should talk.
