We're a community-driven initiative providing free cybersecurity solutions to early-stage startup founders using open-source tools and expert volunteer support
Startups with funding under $200k qualify for full free support. Those between $200k-$1M get a 50% discount, and over $1M get a 30% discount on services
Yes, our services are free by principle, but we believe if you've raised funds or are profitable, you should pay a fair share. We are very considerate, charging the least amount possible and sometimes even lower based on your startup's situation, such as runaway constraints.
We provide CISO-level guidance, incident response, security planning, and tailored solutions for industries like AI, Saas, FinTech, HealthTech, E-Commerce, IoT, and more
We leverage tools like Wazuh, Velociraptor, OpenVAS, Snort, Suricata, OWASP ZAP, Kibana, Sigma, Docker, Nmap, Grafana, and many others based on your specific needs.
They are free, making them ideal for founders. However, they can be technical and hard to implement, so we help with the heavy lifting to ensure effective deployment.
At Open Source in Cyber, we empower early-stage founders and startups with the tools, resources, and expertise they need to secure their businesses from cyber threats at zero cost.
