Tidal Cyber, a Virginia-based cybersecurity company specialising in Threat-Led Defence, has successfully raised $10m in a Series A funding round.
The round was led by Bright Pixel Capital, the technology investment arm of Sonae, with participation from existing backers including USAA, Squadra, Capital One, Veteran Ventures, Task Force X, and Ultratech.
Founded in 2022 by former MITRE experts Rick Gordon, Richard Struse, and Frank Duff, Tidal Cyber provides a platform that helps organisations measure and improve their security stack by simulating real-world threats and adversary behaviour.
The fresh funding will be used to accelerate product innovation and scale Tidal Cyber’s platform capabilities.
Rick Gordon, Tidal Cyber CEO and co-founder, said, “We see strong traction and a need for threat-led defense as more organizations move beyond assumptions, CVE-counting, and checkbox compliance. Tidal Cyber flips the security model putting real adversary behavior at the center of defense to enable a proactive, continuous, threat-led defense.”
Marcos Osório, investment director at Bright Pixel Capital, said, “Tidal Cyber brings a new level of clarity and precision to security strategy by focusing on adversary behavior and how they operate.
“Their platform exposes true coverage exposures and helps organizations defend against the threats that really matter. We’re proud to support their growth as they scale their product and bring Threat-Led Defense to the forefront of cybersecurity.”
