Strategic Cyber Ventures turns 10 this year and we're celebrating at @OneRSAC 2026. For ten years, we've backed founders and technologies strengthening the cybersecurity mission and America’s digital advantage. We’re bringing the ecosystem together to mark the milestone and recognize the operators, builders, and investors driving capability forward. Cyber cocktails, live DJ, and a mission-focused room in true SCV fashion. Space is limited. RSVP to join SCV in celebration and the community pushing cyber into its next chapter. luma.com/3mtiu8zc

We are incredibly proud to see the continued momentum from @GetNametag. As generative AI and deepfakes make impersonation attacks easier than ever, traditional identity controls built around devices and credentials are starting to break down. Verifying the right human behind the identity is becoming a critical layer of security. Excited to see Nametag pushing this space forward with new patents focused on human identity verification.

I'm excited to announce today that @DoppelHQ launched AI deepfake Microsoft Teams Simulations. See it in action here: doppel.com/blog/human-ris… This is timely given recent attacks via Microsoft Teams calls, distributing AoBackdoor malware, targeting financial and healthcare organizations. bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/… AI makes multi-channel social engineering the primary threat for security teams. This is why multi-channel is behind everything we do at Doppel, from threat intel to takedowns to simulations. Looking forward to releasing more vibe-phishing channels soon.

We’re excited to welcome David Mackey as the newest member of the SCV CISO Board! 🦉 David is the Chief Information Security Officer at #Nordson, bringing over 25 years of experience leading cybersecurity transformations across complex IT and OT environments. He has built cyber defense capabilities designed to maintain resiliency under active attack, with deep expertise in protecting manufacturing and operational systems from digital threats. Focused on long-term maturity roadmaps, high-performing security teams, and aligning security with business objectives, David helps make cybersecurity a strategic enabler rather than a constraint. We’re proud to have his leadership and expertise guiding the SCV CISO Board. Welcome David!

And that wraps up another CKO for @DoppelHQ! Just 4 years ago, we started Doppel on a mission to combat the greatest threat from AI. It's incredible to see how quickly the company has grown as we just fit 200 people in one room this week. I'm grateful to work with such a passionate and dedicated team, and we have hyper ambitious plans for this year to protect our customers and expand the Social Engineering Defense platform. The expectations are higher than ever, and we're ready to go raise the bar. Thanks to our Doppel team for an incredible week, and to our team, investors, customers, partners and advisors for the inspiration through the week. @ryantcarlson quoted Billie Jean King, "pressure is a privilege" and I know @rahul_madduluri and I both feel incredibly privileged to be on this journey.

Strategic Cyber Ventures is proud to support @modveon in their $10M seed round. They are building a verified operating system that brings identity, trust, and accountability into digital government and civic infrastructure. Proud to join @cbventures, #FireboltVentures, @HumlaVentures and others in supporting Modveon reach this milestone. Resilient systems require resilient trust layers. We believe Modveon is building exactly that and that's why we backed them. Read more via @axios: axios.com/pro/fintech-de…

Your brand is being impersonated across domains, social profiles, paid ads, app stores, and other third-party platforms faster than you can say “fraud.” With only manual takedown strategies, bad actors continue to attack your brand left and right. Enter: CTI Automation. CTI automation connects three things that often live in separate tools and teams: external monitoring, internal decisioning, and response. By applying cyber threat intel automation to brand protection, teams can efficiently take the steps necessary to disrupt impersonation campaigns at scale — beating social engineering attackers at their own game. 💪 Check it out👇 bit.ly/4au3Iwg

SCV is heading to @OneRSAC 2026. For a decade, we’ve backed the companies securing the next era of cybersecurity & national defense. We’re coming to engage with the builders shaping trust, identity, and resilient infrastructure. @OneRSAC is where cyber gets real. See you there.

🎥 Now Online | CES 2026 “Staying Ahead in the Data Defense Game” explores how AI, identity-based attacks & deepfakes are reshaping cybersecurity. Attackers aren’t breaking in — they’re logging in. Identity is the new perimeter. ▶️ Watch now: youtu.be/oNXnARYGsr0

@NanaMurugesan @modveon @cbventures @HumlaVentures We are incredibly excited for this new chapter, congrats to all involved 🦉

3/ Today, I’m excited to share that @modveon has raised $10M to build the missing trust layer for the internet -- backed by @cbventures, Firebolt Ventures, @HumlaVentures, @SCV_Cyber, and other strategic investors.

1/ The internet scaled. Trust didn’t. Communication, payments, and coordination moved online -- but the systems behind them were never designed to be verifiable.

From the Joint Readiness Training Center to building Strategic Cyber Ventures, SCV Founder @HankThomasDC's career has been defined by learning under pressure. Cyber evolves fast, curiosity is how you keep up. Those lessons sit at the foundation of SCV as it turns 10 this month. To celebrate our 10th anniversary, we're hosting the party of all parties at @OneRSAC 2026. Space is limited, so register today to join us alongside the founders, operators, and partners we’re proud to build with each and every day. luma.com/3mtiu8zc
