>>>Cyber security
is broken.

>>you’re the fix.

Cybercrime is a global crisis.
560,000 new pieces of malware detected every day.
20% of kids vulnerable to being groomed into cybercrime.
We don’t need more AI-polished resumes.

We need minds that think sideways.
Minds like yours.

This isn't play.

IT'S prep.

GAMERS ARE HACKERS

If you’re a gamer you already think like a hacker.
Cheats, mods, strategy, speed. They all come naturally.
Without knowing it, you’ve been in cybersecurity training for years.

We work with companies who care more about how you think than what’s on your CV.
Connect your Steam and GitHub and get hired for your aptitude and skills.


HOW IT WORKS

HAPTAI is our ‘Hacking Aptitude AI’.
It learns how you think, play, and problem-solve.
Then advises on career paths and matches you with open cybersecurity jobs that fit you.
No resumes. No endless applications. No ghosting.

  • Share the games you play (simply connect your Steam)
  • Tell us about the CTFs, bug bounties, and technical projects you’ve been involved in
  • Discover your ‘hacking persona’ to learn careers that suit you
  • Get matched to open jobs
[ START HERE ]
EMPLOYERS

Get access to screened, work-ready cyber talent

Find unconventional talent and predict job performance.

  • Our ‘Hacking Aptitude AI’ measures whether someone has the ability and behavioural profile to perform in cybersecurity roles.
  • So you can understand what the candidate can do today, and critically, is capable of learning.
