About PsyberCog Labs

PsyberCog Labs turns human risk into measurable resilience. We integrate behavioral science with enterprise-grade cybersecurity so policy becomes practice and the secure choice becomes the easy choice, every day, at scale. We map real decision points, design in-flow nudges and defaults, and instrument telemetry to track adoption, decision velocity, and friction. We translate frameworks such as NIST CSF and ISO 27001 into workflows, incentives, and training that people actually use across regulated industries.

Thought to Knowledge. From Knowledge to Resilience.

Our Team

PsyberCog Labs is founder-led and personally operated by Dr. Dustin S. Sachs, so every engagement receives senior attention from day one. Clients work directly with Dr. Sachs for strategy, design, and delivery, which means clear ownership, faster decisions, and no handoffs to junior teams. You get rapid response times, standing check-ins, and clear next steps after every working session, with a limited active-client load to protect focus. Dr. Sachs embeds with leadership and line teams, aligns incentives across security, IT, procurement, HR, and legal, and translates policy into simple workflows people actually use. Each engagement includes tailored artifacts, role-based enablement, and executive-ready updates that tie progress to measurable outcomes. Confidentiality and service quality come first, with secure collaboration channels and success metrics agreed at kickoff so results stay visible and accountable.

Dr. Dustin S. Sachs, DCS, CISSP, C|CISO — Founder & CEO

Dr. Dustin S. Sachs, DCS, CISSP, C|CISO is a cybersecurity executive and behavioral science researcher who helps organizations convert human risk into measurable resilience. He is the Founder & CEO of PsyberCog Labs and currently serves as Chief Technologist and Senior Director of Programs at CyberRisk Collaborative, where he leads initiatives that align security maturity with people-centric strategy across regulated industries.

Sachs integrates decision science with enterprise security to make the secure choice the easy choice—translating frameworks like NIST CSF/800-53 and ISO 27001 into high-adoption, low-friction operating practices. His work centers on decision architecture, culture change, and third-party risk: he builds TPRM operating models and “proof pipelines,” designs in-flow nudges and defaults that raise control uptake, and implements telemetry that links behavior (adoption, decision speed/quality, friction) to executive and board-level outcomes. He regularly facilitates executive crisis labs and incident decision-making for leaders in critical infrastructure, finance, healthcare, technology, and the public sector.

An adjunct educator and active community leader, Sachs writes and speaks on security culture, cognitive bias, and leadership under uncertainty, with contributions across ISACA, ISC2, and FBI InfraGard communities. His forthcoming book, Behavioral Insights in Cybersecurity: A Guide to Digital Human Factors (September 30, 2025), distills research and field practice into actionable tools for CISOs and risk leaders.
