revel8 Human Firewall

revel8 (formerly Company Shield) is a Berlin-based cybersecurity company founded in 2024 that focuses on protecting organizations from deepfake and AI-powered cyber attacks through human resilience training. The company was founded by three former Celonis employees who recognized the ineffectiveness of traditional IT security training and the growing threat of AI-weaponized attacks.

The company operates a Cyber Awareness Platform that combines deep database engineering with AI-driven security solutions. Their approach centers on transforming employees into "human firewalls" through their Academy training system, which addresses the human element as a critical vulnerability in cybersecurity. The platform is designed to be enterprise-ready, scalable, and integrates process data with cutting-edge AI technology.

revel8 targets enterprise clients and aims to create 10 million human firewalls by 2028. The technical foundation draws from the team's experience building high-performance data systems and large-scale cloud architecture at Celonis, particularly leveraging expertise from developing SaolaDB. The company's CTO Robert Seilbeck brings nearly a decade of database engineering experience, while co-founders Tom Müller and Julius Muth lead product development and business operations respectively.

The platform addresses the increasing sophistication of cyber threats by focusing on building lasting human resilience rather than relying solely on technical controls. The team of 18 employees works on helping customers stay ahead of cybercriminals through practical, data-driven security awareness solutions.
