Endeit Capital is proud to announce that it’s a founding partner of CyberAlloy, a collaboration platform dedicated to strengthening cybersecurity across the Netherlands and the high-tech ecosystem in Europe.

Founded by Aernout Reijmer, former CISO ASML and BT Global Services, the CyberAlloy initiative responds to a clear and urgent observation: Cybersecurity today is no longer just about defending existing systems. It is equally about keeping pace with innovation, guiding new solutions, and staying ahead in a threat landscape that is accelerating faster than any individual organisation can handle alone.

CyberAlloy exists to organise collaboration on cybersecurity in a structural and scalable way. The platform connects large enterprises, SMEs, cybersecurity professionals, public institutions, educational organisations and cybersecurity start-ups into one trusted network. Its purpose goes beyond conversation: it enables execution, coordination and collective learning.

With the rise of malicious AI, attacks scale faster, vulnerabilities are exploited sooner, and the time between disclosure and exploitation continues to shrink. At the same time, defenders - CISOs, security teams and experts - are increasingly forced into a reactive position, struggling with limited time, limited resources and an overwhelming flow of new risks.

This is precisely why collaboration is no longer optional.

A critical part of this mission is supporting cybersecurity innovation itself. Start-ups often bring strong ideas, new technologies and fresh approaches, but they rarely have direct access to the lived experience of experts who defend critical infrastructure, intellectual property and complex enterprise environments on a daily basis. At the same time, those experts increasingly lack the bandwidth to individually mentor or advise every promising initiative.

CyberAlloy bridges that gap.

By creating a safe, facilitated environment where expert insights can be shared, and anonymised where needed, start-ups can receive early, practical feedback. This helps them sharpen their propositions, avoid blind spots, and focus on what truly matters in a rapidly changing threat landscape. In return, the ecosystem benefits from solutions that mature faster and are better aligned with real-world needs.

Endeit’s involvement in CyberAlloy aligns closely with our broader strategy: strengthening Europe’s digital resilience in a world where technological power is increasingly concentrated elsewhere. We have a track record of supporting ecosystem initiatives such as ai.nl, helping to build a national platform around Artificial Intelligence. With CyberAlloy, we take a similar step, this time in cybersecurity, a domain that has become foundational to economic resilience, innovation and societal trust.
