# We built the protection we wanted for our own families.

Syba is the cyber concierge for the AI era: we prevent, we run the response, and carriers pay covered claims. We help families, family offices and founders become and stay cyber-resilient, with always-on monitoring, a 24/7 US + EU team, and up to $5M in coverage behind it.

Help, prevent, and protect families and individuals to become and stay cyber-resilient: through one simple, all-in-one cyber security service, not a stack of disconnected tools.

## What sets us apart.

- ### Prevention and insurance in one product

  Most personal cyber policies only pay after the damage is done. We stop incidents before they land, and the policy pays when one gets through.
- ### A real 24/7 team in Alpharetta and Brugge

  No ticket queue, no bot wall. A cyber expert on the line whenever something feels off.
- ### Backed by A-rated carriers

  Coverage layered across Tokio Marine HCC and Chubb, and chosen for PwC Belgium’s Defence & Resilience scale-up track.

## When you call, a real cyber expert picks up.

No ticket queue, no bot wall. Two staffed hubs cover every timezone our families live in, and the same person owns your incident from the first ring to a written closeout.

  US concierge and claims desk.

  United States, staffed 24/7
- ### Brugge, Belgium

  Europe, staffed 24/7

You call the desk. Staffed around the clock, from the US and the EU.

One engineer owns it. The same person holds the incident from the first call to closeout.

- Contain Isolate the affected devices and accounts first.
- Document The case file starts with the first call.
- Recover Recovery is guided to the end, and a claim follows where your cover responds.

Closeout The incident ends with a write-up you keep.

## The people behind the desk.

Our founders and leadership draw on experience across the intelligence community, corporate governance, special military operations, wealth management, executive protection and corporate law.
