Tidal Cyber, a Washington, D.C.-based company specializing in Threat-Informed Defense, announced that it has received investments from USAA and Capital One Ventures. USAA provides insurance, banking, investment, and retirement solutions for U.S. military members, veterans, and their families. Capital One Ventures invests in data, technology, and financial services startups.
The investments aim to support enhancements to Tidal Cyber’s Enterprise Edition platform and promote the adoption of Threat-Informed Defense strategies. Over the past year, the company reports exceeding tenfold financial and customer growth.
“We see these investments from established strategic investors like USAA and Capital One Ventures as a validation of Tidal Cyber’s Threat-Informed Defense approach and the value that we are bringing to some of today’s top companies,” said Rick Gordon, CEO of Tidal Cyber. “These investments will enable Tidal Cyber to continue our rapid growth trajectory and lead the adoption of Threat-Informed Defense globally within all critical infrastructure segments.”

The company plans to use the investment to accelerate go-to-market activities and product development, including expanding sales and marketing efforts and enhancing its Community Edition platform, which supports over 3,000 security professionals globally.
“We have witnessed Tidal Cyber drive the adoption of Threat-Informed Defense since the very early days of the company and have been impressed by the company’s rapid growth. With that upfront perspective, it was a natural decision to invest,” said Nathan McKinley, vice president and head of Corporate Development at USAA.
Earlier this month, Tidal Cyber integrated test results from Breach and Attack Simulation (BAS) tools and other sources into its Enterprise Edition platform. This integration provides users with better insights into their defenses through targeted tests, helping to align threat intelligence and defensive measures with their specific environments.
Tidal Cyber’s Enterprise Edition is a Software as a Service (SaaS) platform designed to help security leaders and practitioners optimize their defenses against relevant threats. The platform offers a Tidal Confidence Score for attacker behaviors identified in MITRE ATT&CK®, third-party cyber threat intelligence tools, and internal threat research. With the addition of BAS capabilities, the platform can compare test results with existing defenses, providing insights that may not be available with other products.
By securing investments from USAA and Capital One Ventures, Tidal Cyber aims to enhance its offerings and expand its role in the cybersecurity industry.
