A major venture capital firm – Insight Partners – has just confirmed it was hit by a cyberattack. This isn’t a random breach. It’s a signal.
When the firms funding the future of tech and innovation fall victim, it’s clear that attackers are playing a bigger game. They’re not just targeting companies. They’re targeting ecosystems – and they’re exploiting the one weakness no software patch can fix: people.
Think about it. VCs like Insight Partners hold sensitive data on startups, financials, M&A activity, even strategic pivots. A breach here is not just about stealing data – it’s about influence, manipulation, and long-term disruption.
And how do attackers gain entry into such high-value environments? Rarely with brute force. Often with a simple email. A message impersonating a portfolio founder. A fake calendar invite. A well-timed text message that looks like it’s from IT.
This is social engineering in its most dangerous form – exploiting trust to breach high-stakes networks.
AUMINT.io built Trident to tackle this exact challenge.
We help companies, investment firms, and their portfolio networks train against the kinds of real-world social engineering tactics that bypass tech controls. Our adaptive simulations mirror current attack trends – from spear phishing to smishing – personalized for your team, roles, and risk surface.
Most importantly, we turn awareness into action. Trident gives security leaders live dashboards to track progress and gaps – so you’re not just training blindly, but reinforcing a measurable human firewall.
If VCs are now prime targets, no one is off the radar. Human-centric security is no longer optional – it’s the last true differentiator.
