Turn Security Champions into measurable behaviour change.
Security is a behaviour. CyBehave applies behavioural science to the Security Champions who spread good practice through an organisation, and to Secure Behaviour Management, the discipline that turns a network of volunteers into evidence a board can read. HEROES by CyBehave is the platform that runs it.

Three positions. Pick yours and the rest of the site is arranged around it: the reading, the free tools and the part of Heroes that helps.
GettingstartedYou have been asked to set up a programme, or decided the organisation needs one, and you want to get it right first time.→Start here
Running yournetworkYou run a network, or have inherited one, and want to know who is active, where the gaps are and what to fix next.→Run it better
BeyondawarenessCompletion is high, click rates have plateaued, and the board is asking what has actually changed.→Go beyond
Not sure where you stand? The free Champions Programme Health Check takes ten minutes, places your programme on the Security Champions Maturity Model and names the dimension holding the rest back. No email address needed.

Security Champions
What a Champion is, why networks of them change behaviour where training cannot, how to design one and how to measure it.
Read the guide → The platformHEROES by CyBehave
Recruit and coordinate your Champions, design the interventions they carry into their teams, and measure whether behaviour is changing.
Explore Heroes → The methodThe science
COM-B, the SHIELD framework and our own research, published openly so you can see what every instrument measures and why.
Read the science →Founded on the science. Used by people who run programmes.
Not everyone in security is a behavioural scientist, and nobody should have to become one to run a good Champions programme. We bring the research to you in a form you can act on, and we publish how every instrument is built.
“We used to just think about the next event. Now we've got six months planned out, and some of what's in there I'd never have thought of a year ago.”
“As a security practitioner, I was worried about how I'd need to start thinking about behaviour change, and how I'd actually go about doing it. The content on the site helps me understand complex concepts and how to apply them in practice. Thank you.”
“The Champions Health Check is a great tool. It was really easy to use, and the output was very detailed for a free tool. We now have an action plan to move our Defenders programme forward. Many thanks, and keep up the great work.”

Read →Behavioural change for awareness professionals: what actually moves people
You know the training landed. Completion is high, the quiz scores are good, and the behaviour is unchanged. That is not a failure of your programme; it is the predictable result of a model of behaviour that behavioural science abandoned years ago. The map for awareness professionals making the shift: why knowledge rarely becomes behaviour, diagnosing with COM-B before intervening, the levers awareness rarely pulls, and what to count instead.
Read →SIGNAL: Week 45: Looking the Part
This week is all about costume. Criminals are borrowing the trappings of legitimacy: fake IT support arriving on Teams minutes after flooding your inbox, scam emails that sail through the authentication checks, and AI quietly mass-producing fake login pages. Plus the shadow AI on your own payroll, and why scam-spotting tech is not yet protecting older adults. Five stories on what happens when looking real gets cheap.
