Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

The project represents a cybersecurity media channel with significant social media reach (~192k Twitter followers) but is misrepresented in the submission with hyperbolic claims (7,500 team size, $35M market cap). Real-world utility is moderate as an information aggregator. The low score reflects the severe lack of professional detail and the unreliability of the reported business metrics.

Project Details

Description
The world is facing ongoing threats from hostile states, terrorists, hacktivists and criminals operating in the digital space. Cyber threats include those looking to compromise national critical infrastructure or those looking to compromise business IT systems to either cripple the organisation or steal sensitive data for profit or malicious purposes. National infrastructure encompasses energy, transport, banking, telecom, defence, space and other sensitive areas. Cyber attacks now pose the biggest threat to the free world. We aim to increase the conversations in Cyber Security to better defend the world's digital economies. We provide the latest threat intel and mitigation best practices from trusted sources. CSH also aims to close the cyber skills gap and improve diversity. If you are contacted by someone claiming to work for us and you are unsure, contact us directly and we will confirm. We are aware of fake profiles that have been set up claiming to work for CSH. Please notify us of any suspicious behaviour. For any enquiries email us: info@thecybersecurityhub.com
