    3X Founder. B2B SaaS. Venture Capital. PHX Ventures.

    Pre-Seed Progress Report Q3 2024 _____ The core activity of PHX Ventures is leading seed rounds with a $1m-$3m check into high-growth, early-revenue, B2B software companies. What may not be as obvious is our efforts to write $50k-$250k pre-seed checks from our PHX Launch Fund into pre-revenue B2B software companies in AZ. The pre-seed companies we invest in from the PHX Launch Fund always have an obsessed founder with a great idea, clarity about the market problem, and some working code, but they are still wrenching on their MVP and searching for their first paying customer. Unlike the larger seed rounds we lead in post-revenue companies, these pre-seed companies don't have much to diligence before we invest. We are truly betting on the heroic efforts of obsessed founders to turn their product concepts into real companies. We are still learning how to best source, select, and support these pre-seed founders but I'm excited about the three investments the PHX Launch Fund has made so far in 2024. 1. Legix, founded by Josh Hsu. We invested because we believe that AI-driven workflow automation will make bookkeepers >10X more productive. There are almost 1 million bookkeepers in the US today. 2. Sail, founded by Danny Friday. We invested because we believe automating the identification of qualifying healthcare expenses will substantially increase HSA/FSA adoption. 3. HypergameAI, founded by Philip A. Dursey. We invested because we believe using AI for autonomous threat detection and engagement will soon be part of every company's cybersecurity strategy. For a complete list of the PHX Ventures portfolio across funds, please visit our website: https://lnkd.in/gBwHe643. If you are an early-stage B2B software founder in PHX and you have ambitions to build a venture-scale software company, we'd love to meet you. If you refer an ambitious, PHX-based, B2B software founder to us, we will buy you tacos and love you forever. ____ PS - I hope you will join our community of ambitious software founders at PHX FWD where you can learn from other founders, perfect your pitch, and participate in valuable workshops. All for free.

    At HypergameAI, we're developing a generative AI-driven active defense platform, and we're excited by the potential to fundamentally shift the paradigm in cybersecurity, as highlighted in the linked report. The concept of reversing the "Defender's Dilemma" with AI is compelling and aligns closely with our vision of asymmetric cyber defense. Hypergame's A-TIER (Advanced Threat Intelligent Engagement Response) platform leverages the power of generative AI to create an adaptive, intelligent defense system that outpaces and outmaneuvers attackers. Some key areas where we see tremendous potential include: 1. Proactive Threat Hunting: Symphony of AI models continuously analyze vast amounts of data from across the network, identifying subtle patterns and anomalies that may indicate emerging threats before they materialize. This shifts us from a reactive to a proactive security posture. 2. Adaptive Deception: We're using generative AI to create and deploy dynamic, context-aware decoys. These systems adapt in real-time to attacker behavior, leading them down false paths, slowing attackers, while gathering intelligence. 3. Intelligent Incident Response: When attacks do occur, our AI provides real-time analysis, recommend containment strategies, and even autonomously implement deception response actions to minimize damage. 4. Predictive Attack Modeling: By analyzing historical attack data and current threat intelligence, our AI models predict, graph and search future attack vectors and techniques, allowing organizations to shore up defenses preemptively. One of the most exciting aspects of generative AI for cybersecurity is its capability for adaptive threat engagement. This goes beyond simply detecting and blocking threats to actively interacting with potential attackers in ways that waste their resources, gather intelligence, and ultimately deter future attacks. For example, our platform: - Generates convincing but synthetic datasets to confuse attackers who breach initial defenses. - Creates threat tailored, AI-coded, objects that engage with attackers, wasting their time and resources while gathering valuable intel on their techniques and objectives. The key is that these threat engagements are not static, pre-programmed responses. Our system allows for dynamic, creative interactions that can adapt to novel attack techniques in real-time. The vision laid out in this report of AI creating a more level playing field between attackers and defenders continues to inspire our work. While there are certainly challenges ahead, we believe generative genAI-driven adaptive defense platforms like ours will play a crucial role in realizing that vision and creating a more secure digital future for all.

    The Cost-Mitigating Power of Autonomous Cyber Deception in the Face of Data Breaches Data breaches continue to pose a severe threat to organizations across industries, resulting in significant financial losses and reputational damage. As the average cost of a data breach reaches staggering heights, with the 2022 IBM Security report revealing a price tag of $4.35 million¹, companies are increasingly turning to autonomous cyber deception as a proactive defense strategy to reduce the impact and expenses associated with these incidents. Autonomous cyber deception leverages AI-driven techniques to create realistic decoys and lures that actively mislead and divert attackers², effectively detecting and containing breaches early in the attack lifecycle. By doing so, this innovative approach significantly reduces the costs of incident response and remediation³, while also minimizing the risk of data exfiltration and limiting the overall scope of breaches⁴. The cost-saving potential of autonomous cyber deception has been quantified through various studies and research. Accenture found that organizations employing deception technology experienced a remarkable 63% reduction in breach costs compared to those without⁵. Similarly, the Ponemon Institute revealed that companies with mature deception practices had an average breach cost of $2.83 million, a stark contrast to the $4.15 million incurred by organizations lacking deception measures⁶. The return on investment (ROI) for autonomous cyber deception is equally impressive, with some companies reporting an ROI exceeding 200%⁷. Real-world case studies further underscore the cost-mitigating power of autonomous cyber deception. A large financial institution, upon implementing this technology, detected a breach within mere hours, saving an estimated $3.2 million in potential losses⁸. In the healthcare sector, an organization successfully utilized deception to identify and contain a ransomware attack, avoiding a projected $5.6 million in breach-related costs⁹. Similarly, a retail company prevented a data exfiltration attempt through autonomous deception, saving approximately $2.9 million in expenses¹⁰. As cyber threats continue to evolve and grow in sophistication, the adoption of autonomous cyber deception is poised to become increasingly widespread. Organizations must consider integrating this powerful technology into their comprehensive cybersecurity strategies to proactively mitigate the financial impact of breaches. Ongoing research and development in AI-driven deception technologies such as we're doing at HypergameAI will only further enhance the cost-saving capabilities of autonomous deception, making it an indispensable tool in the fight against the ever-rising costs of data breaches. #CyberDeception #BreachCostReduction #AutonomousDefense #DataBreach #CybersecurityROI #ReturnofSecurityInvestment References in comments.
