D.STORM vs. Adaptive Security

In 2021, there was a remarkable increase in the occurrence of offensive cyber operations worldwide. HUB Security has noted a growing trend in DDoS attacks, which are becoming the preferred choice for cybercriminals as companies increasingly rely on digital platforms for their operations. This evolution suggests that a successful DDoS attack can significantly hinder a company's operations and negatively impact its financial stability. Recent data indicates that the severity of most DDoS attacks is escalating, with attackers frequently employing multi-vector tactics. On average, these attacks now last 24% longer than before, and the longest durations have surged by over 270%. Additionally, there has been a significant rise in the number of DDoS attacks with volumes exceeding 100 GB/s during the past year. The D.STORM SaaS DDoS simulation platform provides valuable services to various organizations that either engage in or offer DDoS simulation services. Through a user-friendly web interface, D.STORM effectively replicates real DDoS attacks, ensuring that these simulations are performed within a safe and controlled environment. This novel approach not only assists organizations in preparing for potential threats but also strengthens their overall cybersecurity defenses, giving them a better chance to mitigate future risks. By understanding these threats through simulation, organizations can cultivate a proactive stance against cyber adversaries.

Adaptive Security was founded in 2024 by seasoned entrepreneurs Brian Long and Andrew Jones. Since inception, the company has raised over $50 million from top-tier investors including OpenAI, Andreessen Horowitz, and executives from Google Cloud, Fidelity, Plaid, Shopify, and other industry leaders. Adaptive defends organizations against sophisticated, AI-driven cyber threats such as deepfakes, vishing, smishing, and spear phishing. Its next-generation security awareness training and AI phishing simulation platform enables security teams to deliver ultra-personalized training that adapts to each employee’s role, access level, and exposure. This training leverages real-time open-source intelligence (OSINT) and features highly convincing deepfake content—including synthetic media of a company’s own executives—to mirror real-world attack vectors. Through AI-powered simulations, customers can continuously assess and improve organizational resilience. Hyper-realistic phishing tests across voice, SMS, email, and video channels evaluate risk across every major vector. These simulations are fueled by Adaptive’s AI OSINT engine, giving teams deep visibility into how attackers might exploit their digital footprint. Today, Adaptive serves global leaders like Figma, The Dallas Mavericks, BMC Software, and Stone Point Capital. With an industry-leading Net Promoter Score of 94, Adaptive is redefining excellence in cybersecurity.
