Adaptive Security
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.

Deepware
Deepfakes pose a significant threat that artificial intelligence introduces to society, highlighting a critical inflection point in the realm of cybersecurity. It is imperative for the industry to take immediate action to combat the risks associated with deepfakes, given their ability to undermine public confidence in reality. This emerging risk, typified by the nefarious use of AI-generated synthetic media, represents one of the most formidable cyber threats we have faced thus far. We expect to see detrimental uses of deepfakes arise soon, especially in the form of advanced phishing schemes. A pressing challenge lies in the current limitations of genuine voice-swapping technologies, which could be more dangerous than the widely-discussed techniques of face or head swapping. As artificial intelligence continues to evolve at a rapid pace, the urgency for effective countermeasures has reached unprecedented levels. In light of these developments, proactive measures and innovative solutions will be essential to safeguard against the pervasive implications of deepfake technology.

WeVerify
The emergence of online misinformation and fake media poses a substantial threat to democracy, the economy, and society at large. The challenge of verifying vast amounts of content in nearly real-time is daunting, even for experienced journalists, fact-checkers, human rights defenders, and experts in media literacy. In response to this pressing concern, the WeVerify initiative aims to develop cutting-edge tools and methodologies for intelligent human-in-the-loop verification and disinformation assessment. By scrutinizing social media platforms and web content within the broader context of the online environment, this project seeks to expose falsehoods through strategies such as cross-modal content verification, social network analysis, targeted debunking efforts, and the establishment of a blockchain-based public repository to catalog known fabrications. This comprehensive strategy not only boosts the reliability of information but also equips individuals and organizations with the means to effectively tackle misinformation, fostering a more informed public. Ultimately, the initiative represents a crucial step forward in the fight against the erosion of truth in the digital age.
