Why Shai Moshe founded CybrIQ

From the conference room, not the SOC

For more than two decades, Shai Moshe worked in audiovisual and unified communications technology. 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. His job, in one form or another, was to put connected devices into rooms and make them work.

That work gave him a clear view of a problem most security teams only see at audit time. The devices going into those rooms, codecs, wireless presenters, smart displays, control processors, and sensors, rarely reached the asset register. They were installed by integrators, managed by vendors, and inherited by a security team that had never been told they existed.

A gap most teams only see at audit time

Year after year, across customer after customer, Shai watched the same gap appear between what an organization believed was on its network and what was actually connected. Every audit cycle told the same story. The asset register and the network disagreed. 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.

Why conventional tools miss it

The standard tools did not close that gap. Network access control reported what spoke its protocol. Endpoint security covered what could run an agent. Asset management listed what procurement had recorded. Each tool was accurate within its lane and silent outside it. The devices that created the most audit risk were the ones that fell between the lanes, and conference-room AV equipment fell between the lanes 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. If that fingerprint can be read reliably from the wire, an organization can build a per-device record of what is genuinely connected, independent of what any device claims to be higher up the stack. Shai founded CybrIQ in 2022 to turn that premise into a product. The method is patented, and the company calls it Device DNA.

What CybrIQ ships today

Today CybrIQ delivers that method through two products. 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 in different scopes: a continuously maintained, audit-defensible record of what is on the network right now. The company identifies devices against a reference library of 750 million signatures and works through the AV integrator channel that Shai spent his career inside.

The throughline is straightforward. Shai spent 25 years on the device side of the visibility gap. CybrIQ is the company he built to close it.
