SoSafe's journey began in 2018 in Cologne, Germany, born from the vision of Dr. Niklas Hellemann, a psychologist, alongside Lukas Schaefer and Felix Schuerholz. Recognizing the critical, yet often overlooked, human element in cybersecurity, they set out to transform how organizations approach digital threats. What started as a focused endeavor to bolster digital self-defense quickly gained traction, driven by a unique methodology blending behavioral science with smart technology. The founders understood that true security resilience couldn't be achieved through technology alone; it required a fundamental shift in employee behavior and awareness.
The company's disruptive approach, putting people first and leveraging insights from psychology and social engineering, resonated deeply in a market saturated with purely technical solutions. SoSafe's platform was designed not just to inform, but to engage and empower employees, turning them into an active line of defense. This human-centric philosophy fueled rapid growth. By focusing on creating sustainable security cultures through personalized learning experiences and realistic attack simulations, SoSafe began to make a tangible impact. The platform's ability to make complex cybersecurity concepts accessible and actionable for everyone, regardless of their technical background, became a key differentiator. This early success laid the groundwork for significant expansion, attracting talent and investment, and propelling SoSafe towards becoming a leading name in security awareness and human risk management across Europe and beyond. The team's dedication to continuous innovation, informed by ongoing research into human behavior and evolving cyber threats, ensures that SoSafe remains at the forefront of empowering organizations to navigate the complexities of the digital world with confidence.
