About CyBe Global
Hands-on labs and training, built and taught by practitioners
CyBe Global teaches security teams and security leaders to do the work, in labs built from real incidents, assessed on what they produce. Privately held, bootstrapped by founders, founded in January 2026.
What the company does
One business, and two things that make it better.
We sell programmes
Practitioner-led cohorts and self-paced labs in cloud security, AI governance, SOC operations and security leadership, for enterprises, professionals and institutions. This is the company and it pays for everything else.
We run a community with CSA Bangalore
The summit, CXO roundtables and chapter sessions. This is where the practitioners who review our curriculum come from.
We publish research
Annual industry research into how security and AI risk are actually changing, published openly. This is what keeps the curriculum honest.
CyBe Labs
Real environments, not slideware
Every programme runs in a cloud lab. Participants work in a real terminal against real evidence, each step is graded, and there is nothing to install to begin.
For enterprises
Train security teams in environments running real incidents, assessed on the incident report they actually write.
For institutions
Give students access to industry-grade tooling that security teams genuinely run.

Why CyBe Global, why now
Satyavathi Divadari spent twenty-eight years as the buyer before becoming the builder. She grew up in a village outside Visakhapatnam and entered the industry with a polytechnic diploma, not a degree. Across security roles at Wells Fargo, Cognizant, Capgemini and IBM, holding a CISSP and a US patent, she spent those years deciding who to hire, which skills actually mattered, and which training was worth trusting. That is the experience the curriculum is built from.
She also founded the CSA Bangalore Chapter alongside the corporate career and built it into a community that has won the Cloud Security Alliance’s global Chapter of Excellence award three years running. The chapter proved what practitioner-led learning can do. It also showed the limit: volunteers can build good talent, but they cannot scale it.
She started CyBe Global in January 2026 to take that model and build it as a business. Volunteers can fill a room. They cannot reach the people who need this most, who are not in Bengaluru, Mumbai or Hyderabad, and who are still being told that the door to this industry opens only for people with the right degree.
Our mission
Building the next 1 million cyber defenders
The goal was set in 2023 and it is why the company exists: one million cyber defenders. India’s cybersecurity talent shortage will not be closed by classroom training alone. Demand is growing faster than instructor-led cohorts can be filled, and it is growing fastest in places the training market has never served.
Meeting it takes quality education and genuinely hands-on learning. CyBe builds those: labs that run on real environments, curriculum reviewed by practising security leaders, and delivery that reaches Tier 2 and Tier 3 India alongside the metros, to a standard that holds up globally.

Stated separately, because the company and the community it came from have different records.

About CyBe Global
Why we exist
Close the distance to the job
Classroom training teaches concepts and tools. Security work demands judgement, hands-on skill and decisions made under pressure on incomplete information. Practitioner-led teaching, real environments and industry exposure are how that distance gets closed.
Built by people in the work
Curriculum is designed by people who have run security functions and reviewed by CISOs currently in post, rather than by career trainers working from a syllabus.
Built to reach past the metros
A volunteer community can convene a room in Bengaluru. Reaching the talent gap where it is widest, in the cities and towns the training market has never served, needs a company that can deliver on a Tuesday and does not depend on who is free on a Saturday.

The community
CSA Bangalore Chapter
The CSA Bangalore Chapter is the Indian chapter of the Cloud Security Alliance and one of the most recognised security communities in the country. It has operated as a non-profit association since July 2018, and runs the CyBe AI Summit, CXO roundtables under Chatham House Rule, an annual research programme and a campus outreach pipeline, all delivered by volunteers.
The chapter and the company are separate organisations. CyBe Global is a private limited company. The chapter is a non-profit association run by volunteers. CyBe Global does not speak for the Cloud Security Alliance or for the chapter.
