The digital battlefield is already here, the question is how prepared America is to fight on it. Episode 25 of @CodedForChaos is live. Matt Hayden, VP of Cyber & Emerging Threats at @GDIT joins SCV Founder & Managing Partner @HankThomasDC for a hard look at the cyber threats shaping national security. From nation-state operations and critical infrastructure to AI, resilience, and the evolving role of government and industry. Full episode below in the comments. 👇

Threat intelligence. Digital risk. Email security. Identity. Fraud. The human layer. These have traditionally been treated as separate security disciplines. But as social engineering attacks become more connected, the lines between them are starting to blur. Join a guest speaker from IDC, Revolut, and Doppel on September 29 for a discussion on what this convergence means for security teams and why it points toward the emergence of Social Engineering Defense as a distinct security category. We'll also cover how AI is reshaping the social engineering attack chain and what defenders can do to move from detection toward disruption. Save your spot. doppel.com/events/from-infra…

Doppel is excited to welcome Joey Rachid as our Chief Security Advisor and Field CISO. Joey brings more than 20 years of cybersecurity and risk leadership across global enterprises, high-growth companies, and critical infrastructure. A four-time CISO, he most recently served as Global Chief Information Security Officer and Chief Security Officer at Xerox. Joey will work closely with customers and go-to-market teams to strengthen relationships, support strategic business opportunities, and bring the perspective of a longtime security practitioner into our platform and strategy. We’re excited to have Joey on board as we continue building around the needs of enterprise security teams. doppel.com/company/press-rel…

You don’t have to be the biggest player in the room to make a big impact. @GDIT's VP of Cyber & Emerging Threats Matt Hayden joined @HankThomasDC to talk about the innovators pushing cyber forward and the changing threat landscape. Watch the latest episode in the comments below

So proud of the whole security team at @coinbase for always pushing the envelope. Our Continuous Adversarial Testing (CAT) solution never stops, it never sleeps, and it is always improving. This is the future of cybersecurity. block2learn.com/2026/09/16/c…

The cybercriminal ecosystem still operates like the Wild West. Few rules, little accountability, and plenty of competition. ShinyHunters reportedly seized Cl0p’s leak site and threatened to expose information tied to the group’s operations. Beyond the headlines, it’s another reminder of how quickly the threat landscape evolves. Cybercriminals continue to adapt, organize, and find new ways to exploit trust, infrastructure, and information. Read more via @TheRecord_Media therecord.media/shinyhunters…

As AI agents take on more workflows, identities, and decisions, they become targets for the same social engineering tactics used against humans for years. SCV portfolio company @DoppelHQ is building for that reality: defending against social engineering across humans, AI agents, and the interactions between them. Read this recent blog from Doppel CEO & Co-Founder @KevinTian00 on where social engineering defense is headed. doppel.com/blog/social-engin…

What does preparing for a cyber 9/11 actually mean? In this clip, Host @HankThomasDC breaks down the ideology behind that scenario and why the U.S. has to prepare for the most dangerous course of action, not just the threats we’re seeing today. Full episode below 🔽

The next wave of social engineering attacks doesn’t care who’s on the other side: a human or an AI agent. As agents take on more human workflows and interactions, Social Engineering Defense has to protect both. Hear more from our CEO Kevin Tian on what we’re seeing and how Doppel is building for this next era. 👇 lnkd.in/gQasat2M

25 years later, we remember. We remember the lives lost, the families changed forever, the first responders who ran toward the danger, and the countless people who stepped up in the days, months, and years that followed. 25 years later, the world looks different. The threats have changed and technology has transformed how we defend our country and how our adversaries seek to do us harm. But the mission remains the same: protect what matters, stay ready, and build for what’s next. Today, we remember, and we never forget.
