Tidal Cyber, a Reston, VA-based threat-informed defense company, raised $5M in Seed funding.

The round was led by Squadra Ventures with participation from existing investors.

The company intends to use the funds to accelerate the growth of its platform that enables security operations teams to proactively focus on critical threats, and take action to improve their cybersecurity posture.

Led by CEO Rick Gordon, CTO Richard Struse, and CINO Frank Duff, Tidal Cyber provides an easy-to-use framework to embed MITRE ATT&CK, a knowledge base of specific adversarial tactics and techniques powered by real-world observations. The platform provides capabilities that allow teams to:

  • Identify relevant threats: A threat profile builder that identifies and prioritizes the threats that are relevant to an organization.
  • Take action: A prioritized to-do list with daily, defensive actions to enable a timely response to threats.
  • Optimize stack: A map of defensive capabilities in a company’s cyber stack that helps ensure companies are using the best configurations to defend against threats.
  • Assess posture: A proprietary confidence score that gauges an organization’s cyber posture, and streamlines communication about the cyber program.

The platform allows security analysts to identify the threats most relevant to their organizations and align those threats with the right defensive tools, driving hardened cyber posture.
