A big thank you to John Funge, Chris Thompson, Eno Thereska, and Vyas Sekar for joining us as panelists at the Cyber Startup Expo 2026. Their discussion on “Going Autonomous in a Machine-Speed Cyber Battle” explored how AI, automation, and intelligent systems are reshaping the cybersecurity landscape. We’re grateful for the thoughtful insights and perspectives you shared with the founders, investors, and operators in the room. Cyber Startup Expo 2026 is proudly hosted by Dreamit Ventures, DataTribe and Blu Ventures. #Cybersecurity #AIinCybersecurity #CyberStartups #RSAC2026

Congrats to the Strider Technologies team on being recognized by Fast Company as one of the world’s most innovative security companies. Their platform helps organizations identify and mitigate nation-state risks. We are proud to have them in the DataTribe portfolio.

Attackers already operate at machine speed. Defenders need to catch up. At the Cyber Startup Expo during RSA, we are bringing together industry leaders for a panel on “Going Autonomous in a Machine-Speed Cyber Battle.” Panel: 🎤 John Funge — DataTribe, Moderator 🎤 Chris Thompson — CEO, Remote Threat 🎤 Eno T. - CEO, Trent AI 🎤 Vyas Sekar - CTO, Rockfish Data The Cyber Startup Expo is an all-day, invite-only event co-hosted by Dreamit Ventures, DataTribe, Blu Ventures, and Carnegie Mellon University CyLab, bringing together over 30 early-stage cybersecurity startups, investors, and security leaders. 📍 March 23 | Convene, 40 O’Farrell St, San Francisco (Steps from Moscone) 🕧 3:00 PM Panel https://lnkd.in/exZta2Ui #RSAC2026 #Cybersecurity #CyberStartups #SecurityInnovation #VentureCapital

AI’s role in national security is becoming one of the most important debates in tech right now. This Upstarts Media article explores the growing tension between AI companies and the Pentagon and what it could mean for startups building in the space. The piece also includes commentary from our co-founder, Bob Ackerman, on how these dynamics are shaping the future of AI, cybersecurity, and government partnerships. 🔗 Article link in comments

Cybersecurity isn’t slowing down. It is becoming core infrastructure as AI expands the attack surface and raises the stakes for getting security right from the start. This article reinforces why investors continue to lean into cyber and why the biggest outcomes will come from companies building security into the foundation of new platforms, not layering it on later. #cybersecurity #venturecapital #startups #AI

Industrial cyber risk isn't a list of techniques. It's a chain of executable actions. That's why we built Adversary Intelligence Engine. Most threat intelligence stops at tactics and techniques. But defenders don't lose to techniques, they lose to sequences. • What had to be true for the attack to work? • What dependency was exploited? • What allowed IT compromise to become OT impact? • Could it actually happen in your environment? The Frenos Adversary Intel Engine (Community Edition) exposes that logic. Instead of abstract ATT&CK mappings, we decomposed real-world ICS incidents into: → 2,400+ discrete, executable adversary actions → Explicit prerequisites and success conditions → IT ↔ OT pivot mechanics → Action-level defensive countermeasures → Verified exploitation pathways based on public incident research This isn't another CTI feed. It's a structured adversary model built from thousands of industrial security sources — designed to power transparent AI simulation. If AI is going to model attackers, you should be able to inspect the attacker. Transparent. Deterministic. ICS-native. Explore the Community Edition here: https://lnkd.in/gMhgFUG5

This morning, we brought together founders, operators, and investors for our first Cyber Innovators Breakfast of 2026 - in Tysons: 'Emerging Security Risks From AI' with Leo Scott (DataTribe) and Jason Rebholz (Evoke Security). Special Thanks to Seth Spergel at Merlin Ventures for providing a great space for our event. Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to a meaningful morning. #CyberSecurity #StartupEcosystem #CyberInnovation #Founders #VentureCapital #TysonsVA #DataTribe

Security has historically followed the platform. With LLMs and agentic AI, that order is reversing. Security is moving into the model itself. As AI systems transition from generating content to making decisions and taking action, the downside risk shifts from incremental to existential. That forces a structural question for the industry: how far up the cybersecurity stack will foundation model providers go? In our latest DataTribe blog, Andy Hunn, our Partner for Product Strategy, examines the emerging repartitioning of the security stack and where durable competitive advantage will remain.
