400,000, 10 — And Why 2025 Was Better Than I Thought Until Yesterday

In 2025, CYBERDISE won 10 new partners and 400,000 new users under license, yet missed its targets by a significant margin. Only conversations with colleagues showed that what the team achieved in 2025 was extraordinary.

2025 brought us incredible progress. Why I was still dissatisfied until yesterday – and why I can be more than proud today.

Building a new company is always demanding. Regardless of whether you have the right team, experience, a good product, or sufficient capital. The new year is in its second week, and today I’m significantly happier than I was during the Christmas period. This has three main reasons:

  • Our partners
  • Our licenses
  • My attitude

Our 10 new partners

CYBERDISE is specifically designed for partners (MSSP) and for (larger) companies with more complex awareness requirements. It was all the more sobering that in the year before last (2024), although we were able to win HVS as an excellent Managed Security Service Partner – it was just one.

Fortunately, that has changed. Last year we were able to conclude partnership agreements with 10 (!) qualified cyber security companies. The CYBERDISE Ecosystem has finally begun to grow to the expected extent. Particularly pleasing: around 100,000 licensed users are already covered through our partners.

We were delighted to welcome these new partners and look forward to a successful 2026!

400,000 new users under license

There’s actually not much to say here. It’s simply fantastic. Especially because increasingly large companies are also choosing CYBERDISE. For us, this is not only proof of the quality and maturity of our awareness solution, but also that we are viable as a product and as a company for the future.

The right attitude makes everything better and me happier

In the introduction, I mentioned that at the end of last year I was dissatisfied with the business year. Why? Because we had missed our targets – and by a significant margin. That made me dissatisfied with myself and with the team, even though everyone had really given their best with great commitment.

What none of us did: question the targets themselves.

Only through conversations with colleagues to whom I had described my dissatisfaction were my eyes and the team’s eyes opened: What we achieved in 2025 was extraordinary.

That’s right. Which company already achieves six-figure license revenues in its second year? Very few can claim that. This realization has made me significantly more satisfied – and we’re starting 2026 with pride 😊

So long and everyone have a great 2026 in these turbulent times!
