CYBERSECURITY APTITUDE AND TALENT ASSESSMENT
In a world where cybersecurity threats evolve by the second, the need for skilled defenders has never been more critical. Haystack Solutions is on a mission to unlock the full potential of individuals and teams in the cyber domain. We’ve recognized the gaps in traditional approaches to recruiting, training, and workforce management in cybersecurity—and we’re here to change the game.
At the heart of our approach is CyberGEN.IQ, the world’s only cybersecurity aptitude and talent assessment that transcends resumes and experience. It identifies innate talent, revealing the critical thinkers, problem-solvers, and future leaders your organization needs to stay ahead of emerging threats. But we don’t stop there.
Build Teams That Think Like Hackers, Act Like Defenders
We partner with companies to:
- Identify Skills Gaps and Optimize Team Roles: Discover if your current team members are truly in the right roles. Our insights help realign talent to where it can make the most impact.

- Maximize Training Investments: Align your training dollars to individuals with the natural aptitude for cybersecurity, reducing time and resources spent on retraining and turnover.
Our approach goes beyond recruitment. We collaborate with academic institutions and training programs to:
- Increase Program Success Rates: Aligning learners’ innate skills with the right training paths, certifications, and degrees leads to better outcomes and career satisfaction.
