CybrIQ founder and CEO Shai Moshe came to cybersecurity from the conference room. He spent 25 years building and deploying the connected devices that security teams later had to account for.
From the conference room to Layer 1
He started at Polycom in 2000, testing the video conferencing products that were about to become standard in every enterprise meeting room. He went on to senior roles at AGT, Easynet, AVI-SPL and CDW, and founded the unified communications firm Communications Professionals. In one form or another, his job was to put connected devices into rooms and make them work.
That work showed him a problem most security teams only meet at audit time. The devices going into those rooms rarely reached the asset register: codecs, wireless presenters, smart displays, control processors and sensors. Integrators installed them and vendors managed them. Then a security team that had never been told they existed inherited them.
The same gap, every audit cycle
Year after year, across customer after customer, Shai watched the same gap open between what an organization believed was on its network and what was connected to it. The audit cycle ran the same way each time. The asset register and the network disagreed, and the IT team rebuilt the inventory by hand. The security team found devices nobody had requisitioned. The audit firm wrote a finding, and the next quarter the loop ran again.
"A device's electrical fingerprint is the one thing it cannot fake. Read that reliably, and you finally know what is on your network."

Why the standard tools miss it
The standard tools left that gap open. Network access control reported what spoke its protocol. Endpoint security covered what could run an agent. Asset management listed what procurement had recorded. Each was accurate within its lane and silent outside it. The devices that created the most audit risk fell between the lanes, and conference-room AV equipment landed there more often than almost anything else on the network.
A different starting point
CybrIQ started from a different premise. A device's behavior at the physical layer, its electrical fingerprint, is something it cannot fake. Read that fingerprint reliably from the wire and an organization can build a per-device record of what is connected, whatever the device claims higher up the stack. Shai founded CybrIQ in 2022 to turn that premise into a product. The method is patent pending, and the company calls it Device DNA.
What CybrIQ ships today
RoomIQ runs Layer 1 visibility at the scale of a single conference room. SpacesIQ extends it across every switch port in a building. Both produce the same result at different scopes: a continuously maintained, audit-defensible record of what is on the network right now. Devices are identified against a reference library of 750 million signatures, and the company sells through the AV integrator channel Shai spent his career inside.
He spent a quarter century on the device side of the visibility gap. CybrIQ is the company he built to close it.
