[Strategic Cyber Ventures @SCV_Cyber]

Friends. Family. Founders. Investors.

10 years of Strategic Cyber Ventures brought everyone into the same room at @OneRSAC 2026. A reminder of what this is really about: people aligned around a mission.

Every company we’ve backed, every partnership we’ve built, every bet we’ve made traces back to this community.

Grateful for everyone who’s been part of the journey so far, we’re just getting started.

Congrats to SCV Portfolio company @limacharlieio on the launch of Grid.

Security teams are overwhelmed with decisions & we're excited to see Grid helping teams focus on the work that actually moves the needle.

[LimaCharlie @limacharlieio]

Most security demos run on a staged environment. This one runs on yours.

Book a demo and we'll connect Grid to your most painful approval queue during the session. Pick the one costing your team the most time: email quarantine, application allowlisting, DLP alerts, access requests.

Grid connects to your existing security tools without replacing or changing anything in your stack. It reviews each item in context, handles the decisions that don't need a human, and logs every action with a full audit trail. Analysts work the exceptions.

@limacharlieio Security teams are under constant pressure to do more with less, we're excited to see Grid focused on reducing operational burden where defenders feel it most 💪

Critical infrastructure targeted.
Ransomware industrialized.
150,000+ passports exposed ahead of the World Cup.

This is the operational environment now.

One of SCV's portfolio companies is hiring a Fraud Intelligence Analyst to help uncover coordinated fraud networks, investigate illicit activity, and shape the future of AI-enabled investigations.

If you come from fintech, crypto, banking, or government investigations and know how to connect signals into actionable intelligence, we’d love to hear from you.

This Memorial Day, we honor the men and women who gave their lives in service to the United States.

Their sacrifice secured freedoms, protected our nation, and continues to shape the responsibility carried by those serving today across the military, government, and national security community.

We remember them with gratitude.

#ICYMI: Episode 21 of @CodedForChaos is live.

SCV Founder & Host @HankThomasDC sits down with @hunchcapital of @BoozAllen Ventures for a conversation on AI, venture capital, and what it takes to build when the environment changes faster than most organizations can adapt.

As AI reshapes both the cyber and national security landscape, the gap between organizations that can move and those that can’t is widening fast. James brings a grounded perspective on where that shift is heading and what operators, founders, and investors need to understand now.

One of our favorite conversations yet, full episode down below 👇

[Kevin Tian @KevinTian00]

I shared an AI memo internally a few weeks ago in response to the launch of Mythos. Since then, I’ve had several great conversations with CISOs and security leaders around the world, from Tokyo to Geneva.

Things are moving really, really fast in cyber, and it’s worth pausing to reflect on the paradigm shift that is happening.

Here is our perspective at @DoppelHQ on what agentic cybersecurity really means and what a successful defense architecture requires in the post-Mythos era.

The convergence of cyber, digital assets, and national security is no longer theoretical, it’s happening now.

Last week’s conversation at @PubKey alongside SCV portfolio company @trycloudburst brought together a strong room of operators, founders, investors, and policy leaders focused on where that shift is heading next.

Appreciate everyone who spent the evening with us, many more conversations like this ahead.

[Strategic Cyber Ventures @SCV_Cyber]

TONIGHT AT @PubKey D.C!

Strategic Cyber Ventures & SCV portfolio company @trycloudburst are bringing together a curated group of operators across government and industry for cocktails and conversation.

Bitcoin, digital assets, cyber, and national security are colliding faster than most people realize.

Limited spots remain if you want to be in the room for the conversations shaping what comes next.

[Booz Allen Hamilton @BoozAllen]

The pace of cyber conflict is accelerating, and AI is transforming both the threat landscape and the response.

Booz Allen’s @BradMedairy joined @HankThomasDC and Ryan Lowry on the @CodedForChaos Podcast to discuss what it takes to defend against modern cyber threats in real time.

One of the best conversations we’ve had on Coded For Chaos.

@hunchcapital joined @HankThomasDC yesterday in the Coded For Chaos Studio. James has a sharp vision for where cyber and the threat landscape are heading next and this conversation delivered.

Episode dropping soon..

The alleged ShinyHunters breach targeting Canvas reportedly impacted nearly 9,000 schools and exposed data tied to up to 275 million users globally.

Finals week. AP exams. Peak operational dependency.

This is the new reality: identity and SaaS platforms have become critical infrastructure. When they fail, operational disruption follows at scale.

Cybersecurity is no longer just about protecting systems, it’s about maintaining continuity.

[Strategic Cyber Ventures @SCV_Cyber]

Identity has moved to the front line, but most defenses haven’t caught up.

Attackers aren’t breaking in anymore, they’re logging in. Impersonation, credential abuse, and social engineering now sit at the center of modern breaches, so why are organizations still struggling to respond?

We pulled key insights from @IDdataweb's latest report in this carousel.

@DoppelHQ just keeps winning.

We're proud to continuously support this team as they lead the way for AI-native Social Engineering Defense.

[Doppel @DoppelHQ]

We are proud to announce that today Madison Square Garden Sports @TheGarden has named Doppel an Official Partner of the New York Knicks @nyknicks

This collaboration marks our first major partnership with a global sports franchise and a full-circle moment for our founders, who came up with the idea for Doppel on a basketball court. Defense is the foundation of everything we build at Doppel, and we are excited to partner with a defensive powerhouse like the Knicks on one of the world's biggest stages.

Keep an eye out for the Doppel brand during home games at Madison Square Garden, on Knicks social media, and on digital signage boards outside the arena.

The idea for @DoppelHQ began on a basketball court. Today, that journey reaches @TheGarden.

I’m incredibly proud to share that Doppel is officially a partner of the @nyknicks, thanks to Madison Square Garden Sports.

In basketball, defense determines outcomes in the most critical moments. And it’s the same in cybersecurity. We chose to partner with the Knicks because they represent the same standard of elite performance, precision, and protection that we bring to the enterprise.

As we continue to grow our presence and workforce in NYC, this partnership puts our mission to protect organizations from social engineering on one of the world’s biggest stages.

Thank you to our incredible partners at MSG: Jesse Abrams, Jen McDonald, and our Doppel marketing team for making this come to life.

Bitcoin and digital assets are reshaping how influence, capital, and control actually move. That has real implications for national security, not someday, now.

Next week at @PubKey, we’re pulling together a tight room of operators across government and industry with SCV portfolio company @trycloudburst.

If you’re paying attention to where this is headed, you’ll want in.
