The echo5 story unfolds

Dark Forces

Dark Forces represent both malicious actors and unintentional threats to business operations, ranging from cyber attacks and social engineering to human error and system failures.

Robots

These systems protect and empower, evolving to meet new security challenges while learning and adapting with each iteration.

Humans

As the protagonists in our story, humans are the guardians of digital security, creating a safer, more protected society.
At echo5, we're revolutionising cybersecurity enablement. Drawing from decades of experience in the end-user and vendor worlds, we know how security solutions should be built, marketed, and sold. We're shaking things up with innovative consultancy, killer content, and hands-on education that delivers real, measurable impact.Straight-talking expertise backed by years in the trenches.
OUR reality

More than a metaphor

At echo5, it’s not just analogies - we bring insights, strategies, and real-world lessons to cybersecurity's biggest challenges.

breaking silos

The status quo

Too much of cybersecurity is trapped in echo chambers

CISOs talk, but no one listens
Conversations in exclusive networks often focus on self-promotion instead of educating or driving actionable change.
Product teams lack customer insight
They struggle to connect with real customer pain points, missing the mark on market needs.
Investors are left in the dark
They often guess which solutions resonate, risking poor funding decisions.
Sales teams fail to reach the right stakeholder
They rarely connect with the economic buyer, losing critical opportunities.
Marketing relies on assumptions
Campaigns are built on guesswork rather than data-driven insights and first-hand experience.
echo5 Principles

The Five Pillars

The five neon red lights represent our mission to unite stakeholders and guide the cybersecurity industry towards a brighter future.

Progress
Connection
Collaboration
Innovation
Trust

echo5 makes things happen, brings people together, and gets results that matter

Progress
We prioritise forward momentum through consistent improvements rather than endless discussions, delivering swift, tangible outcomes at any scale.
Connection
We deliver engaging multimedia content and services that connect meaningfully with stakeholders at every level, moving beyond traditional roundtables and webinars to create truly valuable experiences.
Collaboration
We engage stakeholders across functions early, ensuring deliverables serve all teams' needs and unite sales, marketing, and product teams behind shared goals.
Innovation
We push boundaries with fresh content and solutions blending creativity with real-world insights, leveraging modern platforms to drive measurable impact rather than following tired formats.
Trust
We build trust by creating a safe environment for open exchange between buyers and sellers, free from sales pressure, while fostering lasting partnerships through consistent value delivery and authentic engagement.
Founder Profile

Chris Hodson

The Journey to echo5

Leaving Silicon Valley wasn’t a snap decision, but after over a decade of building market-leading cybersecurity solutions and internal security programs, I saw a massive opportunity—one I knew I was uniquely positioned to tackle. Across the industry, I saw investors, sales teams, marketing, and product teams all operating in silos, disconnected from the real demands of CISOs and cybersecurity buyers.

I founded echo5 to close this gap — to create a cybersecurity ecosystem where every stakeholder speaks the same language, collaborates meaningfully, and builds solutions that truly resonate.
