Cybersteps is a specialized educational institution that focuses entirely on training specialists in the field of cybersecurity[1][2]. Founded in 2024 and based in Berlin, the company's mission is to sustainably qualify people and pave the way for them to have a stable and successful professional future in the cybersecurity industry[1]. As a proud member of Bitkom – Germany's largest digital association – Cybersteps has been actively involved in shaping the digital future since 2025[1].
The company was founded by experts with over a decade of experience in cybersecurity training in the military and private sectors[2][3]. This extensive expertise is directly incorporated into the development and implementation of the training programs.
The core product of Cybersteps is a comprehensive 12-month advanced training program that includes an integrated 2-month internship[4][5]. The program is based on a proven military training curriculum but has been specifically adapted to the requirements of the German labor market and German employers[1][3][5].
The training is characterized by several distinctive features:
The instruction is in English – an important prerequisite for working in the international cybersecurity environment[5]. However, mentoring and career services are also offered in German[3].
The main mission of Cybersteps is to help people train to become sought-after cybersecurity analysts and secure high-quality jobs in this field[2][3]. The company pursues several central values:
A special feature is the exclusive specialization in cybersecurity[5]. This focused orientation enables the company to offer a current and well-founded curriculum that has been developed by experts and takes the latest trends into account[2][5].
Cybersteps is an AZAV-approved educational institution, certified by CERTQUA, one of the leading expert bodies in Germany[1][2][4]. This approval stands for transparent processes, continuous quality development and reliable implementation of the measures[4].
A major advantage for participants is that the programs are fully fundable with an education voucher[2]. This means that people who live in Germany, have a work permit and are currently unemployed can complete the training free of charge – fully funded by the German state[5].
Cybersteps has strong industry contacts with leading companies in Germany[2][5]. These connections enable the company to actively support graduates in finding high-quality internships and their first job[5].
The comprehensive support for participants includes:
A review on Trustpilot underlines the practical orientation of the program and emphasizes that, unlike many other providers, Cybersteps teaches real practice instead of just theory[7]. The combination of practical work, excellent lecturers and the English technical language is described as particularly valuable[7].
Cybersteps represents an innovative solution to the shortage of skilled workers in the German cybersecurity industry. By combining military training methodology, practice-oriented teaching, strong industry contacts and state funding, the company offers a unique opportunity for job seekers to start a successful career in cybersecurity.
