Cybermate introduces agentic AI layer into cybersecurity platform

Australian cyber security training and awareness platform Cybermate has launched an expansion of its behavioural-first cybersecurity platform, Psybersecurity.

The move follows on from Cybermate, which is designed specifically for Australian SMEs, schools, and community organisations, giving all Australian-registered charities free online access to its cyber security awareness training for SMEs in March of last year.

The expansion encompasses an agentic AI safety companion to Psybersecurity, the company's behavioural-first approach which blends psychology, micro-training, real-world simulations, and real-time coaching.

The new agentic AI layer enables Cybermate to observe behavioural signals (with consent), interpret risk patterns, and intervene with timely, "empathetic" guidance before an incident occurs.

The platform’s five-phase roadmap includes real-time behavioural coaching, autonomous human-risk detection, AI-driven incident prevention, personalised safety companions, and a multi-agent system linking behavioural and technical signals.

Cybermate CEO and co-founder Greg Caleo said the evolution reflects an urgent need for practical, people-centred protection.

“Cybersecurity has a human problem, not a tooling problem. Most breaches happen because people are rushed, pressured, or deceived,” said Caleo.

“People don’t need another dashboard; they need a mate who has their back at the exact moment a decision is made. Agentic AI finally makes that possible.”
