Who We Are

A Transatlantic Cybersecurity and AI Consultancy

1600 Cyber was created to give organizations direct access to senior professionals who have worked in some of the world’s most demanding technology and security environments.

Our consultants bring experience from the U.S. military, NATO, global enterprises, government, critical infrastructure, Silicon Valley, international consulting, and highly regulated industries.

From our base in Frankfurt, we provide German and international clients with access to American cybersecurity, AI, digital transformation, risk, and resilience professionals who can work independently or integrate directly into existing teams and programs.

We support projects across Europe, North America, and the Middle East—combining global experience with local awareness and hands-on delivery.

Our Transatlantic Advantage

German and international organizations often need specialized expertise that is difficult to find locally—particularly for complex cybersecurity, AI, incident response, digital transformation, and resilience initiatives.

Our Frankfurt presence allows us to bridge American expertise with European expectations.

Our Mission

Protecting Organizations—and Empowering Society

1600 Cyber was founded on a straightforward belief:

Society has a fundamental need to be protected online.

Cybersecurity is essential to the safe functioning of businesses, governments, critical infrastructure, communities, families, and everyday life. Artificial intelligence must also be developed and used in ways that strengthen human capability without sacrificing security, privacy, or individual control.

Our mission therefore extends beyond protecting large organizations.

We use our expertise, partnerships, platforms, and commercial success to help make high-quality cybersecurity and AI knowledge more accessible to individuals, families, small businesses, young people, and underserved communities.

This commitment is reflected in the solutions and initiatives we support—including Yours AI, Dollar Prompt, workforce-development programs, professional training, and community-focused cyber and AI education.

Why We Build Solutions

Expertise Should Not Be Reserved for the Largest Organizations

Much of the world’s best cybersecurity and AI expertise has traditionally been concentrated inside global consultancies, Big Tech, governments, defense organizations, and major enterprises.

1600 Cyber is working to extend that expertise to a broader part of society.

Yours AI

Yours extends trusted cybersecurity and AI guidance beyond the enterprise—helping individuals and families protect their digital lives, use AI safely, and gain greater control over their technology, privacy, and data.

Dollar Prompt

Dollar Prompt democratizes access to experienced AI and cybersecurity professionals, helping businesses and individuals reach expertise that may otherwise require a large consulting engagement or enterprise budget.

Community and Workforce Initiatives

We support education, mentorship, workforce development, and pathways into cybersecurity and AI—helping prepare the next generation while making digital protection more understandable and accessible today.
