关于我们
THE ALLEGIS DIFFERENCE Our Corporate partners have been carefully selected because of specific expertise in their executive teams, the power of their brand and market positions in key consumer and business markets and their complementary (versus competitive) relationships with each other. This magnifies the size and potential of our combined network for entrepreneurs. At AllegisCyber, we are a uniquely assembled team of General and Venture Partners committed to working with our portfolio companies proactively to find and establish lasting connections. Our team is involved in a hands-on way, working to find the best points of leverage within our Corporate partners. This enables entrepreneurs to access operating executives, to test environments and validate new product concepts, insider market intelligence, and accelerate branded distribution networks. INVESTMENT FOCUS & CRITERIA We are all about seed and early stage investing in cybersecurity and its applications in emerging technology markets. Today that focus encompasses related areas including big data analytics, Internet of things (IoT), and virtualization. The global economy operates on a digital substrate: It’s complex. Pervasive. Powerful yet highly vulnerable. Cybersecurity touches all aspects of this critical infrastructure and the businesses and services that depend on its security, reliability and integrity. Whether it’s banking, retail, consumer, financial services, industrial, manufacturing, healthcare or government, cybersecurity is essential to the functioning of the global economy. At AllegisCyber, we believe the imperative for cybersecurity innovation is a mainstay and will be with us for the foreseeable future. We are focused on identifying and partnering with the creative and passionate entrepreneurs who are committed to securing the digital frontier, through disruptive innovation.

The latest Executive Order on #cybersecurity underscores the urgent need for national-level protection of critical infrastructure. As Bob Ackerman highlights, “Our electric grid doesn’t belong to any one state, region, or operator—it’s national.” The collaboration between DARPA and the Department of Energy on AI-enabled cyber defense reflects the growing recognition that securing our power grid is not just a priority—it’s a necessity. https://lnkd.in/gce-n_ey

Traditional hacking has taken a backseat—social engineering is now the preferred tactic for cybercriminals. Why? Because it exploits human emotions, not just software vulnerabilities. Bob Ackerman highlights that cybercriminals leverage urgency, fear, and trust to manipulate victims—whether through phishing emails, business email compromise (BEC), or impersonation scams. The impact is staggering: $8B in annual losses in the U.S. alone. https://lnkd.in/gUR_cAKw

The SEC's new cyber disclosure rules bring much-needed accountability to #cybersecurity risk management. As Bob Ackerman notes, integrating cyber risk into audits with objective measurement is key to better systemic risk analysis. This shift challenges companies to strengthen their strategies and transparency. #Governance #RiskManagement #Compliance #SEC #BoardLeadership https://lnkd.in/gY4e7rhB
