The breach of 47 Spanish political leaders was announced today in press. Not so big in volume, but massive in risk. It’s not the size of the leak that matters. It’s the depth. We are used to reading about breaches involving millions of emails. But the recent leak affecting figures like Isabel Díaz Ayuso and regional presidents is far more dangerous. Why? Because it exposes physical context, not just digital credentials. 🏡 Gas meter codes. 📍 Home addresses. 🚘 Car license plates. This is data that bridges the gap between the digital and physical world. When an attacker quotes your private gas meter code, they aren't just "guessing." They are verifying themselves using data you believe is secret. This creates an instant trust bridge that bypasses standard security training. This is a turning point. It signals the end of "security through secrecy" for high-profile leaders. The data is out. The perimeter is gone. The only defense left is behavioral: the ability of your VIPs to pause, verify, and recognize that knowing the truth doesn't make you a friend. This is context-driven whaling. And if 47 of the most protected people in Spain are exposed, your executives likely are too. 🔎 We analyzed the mechanics of this new threat in our latest article. 👉 Read it here: https://lnkd.in/eCZAecVY

We are still buzzing from the investment news, but there is no time to slow down. We promised that 2026 would be the year we redefine human risk. And now, we take another massive step toward that goal. Zepo Intelligence has been selected for the 2026 Cybersecurity Startup Accelerator with CrowdStrike, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and NVIDIA. This matters for one specific reason. When the biggest names in endpoint security, cloud infrastructure, and AI come together to back a human risk platform, it sends a clear signal: The industry is finally realizing that you cannot secure the cloud without securing the people who run it. For the next eight weeks, we aren't just "participating." We are working side-by-side with the engineers and architects who built the modern internet. Our mission in this cohort is specific: To push our agentic social intelligence further and faster, building defenses that actually adapt to your employees. The momentum is real. Back to work.

By December 2026, one of these problems will have cost you the most sleep. Which one are you betting on? We’ve all seen the predictions. The analysts say 2026 is the year of "Agentic AI." The EU regulators say it's the year of NIS2 enforcement. Employees are afraid of the deepfakes. But the reality on the ground usually looks different than the reports. We’ve been comparing notes with security leaders lately, and the worry seems to fall into three specific buckets. 🚀 The Speed Gap  Some tell us that employees are adopting new AI tools faster than the security team can vet them. 🎭 The Trust Gap  Others are admitting that even their sharpest people are struggling to spot the new, high-quality fakes. ⚖️ The Compliance Gap  And then there’s the group that just feels buried, trying to satisfy the auditors without breaking their actual security operations. We´re curious if your experience matches theirs. Where is the actual tension for you right now? Cast your vote below. We’ll share the results (and our take on them) on Friday. (If your biggest worry isn't on this list, tell us what we missed in the comments.)

For the last decade, our industry has treated human risk as a compliance box to check. Did they watch the video? Yes. Are they secure? Who knows. We spent 2025 worrying about AI-driven threats. We need to spend 2026 obsessing over measurable human defense. If you are a CISO, your board doesn't care about training participation. They care about risk exposure. The shift for 2026 is moving from "Awareness" to "Behavioral Metrics." 📉 Old Metric: 98% of employees completed the phishing module.  📈 New Metric: Mean-Time-To-Report (MTTR) for suspicious emails dropped by 40%. When you treat your workforce as a defensible surface - just like your endpoints or cloud infrastructure - you stop scolding them for errors and start measuring their resilience. NIS2 or HIPAA isn't asking if you trained them. It’s asking if you managed the risk. This year, let’s stop counting clicks. Let’s start measuring culture.

Today, Zepo Intelligence takes a massive step forward in redefining how organizations stop AI-driven cyber threats. We are proud to announce the closing of our $15M Seed Round. Gen AI is turning social engineering into one of the biggest challenges organizations face today. As attackers move toward multi-vector and highly personalized attacks, traditional cybersecurity solutions no longer provide the protection employees need. Zepo was built to solve this — leading a new era of agentic social intelligence for workspace security. We are incredibly proud to be backed by top cybersecurity funds. Thank you Kibo Ventures, eCAPITAL ENTREPRENEURIAL PARTNERS, and TIN Capital | European Cybersecurity Investors for supporting us on this journey. To our clients and team: This milestone is yours. Your trust and relentless standards pushed us to build better, move faster, and think bigger. We are now scaling our operations globally and welcome the best talent to join us. Thank you as well to Google for Startups, CrowdStrike, Amazon Web Services (AWS), and NVIDIA for supporting us on this journey. The future of cybersecurity speaks human and AI. We’re building it 🚀.

To our clients and partners: Thank you for your trust, your collaboration, and your shared vision throughout 2025! We believe that great things are built on human connection 🧠 Working alongside you this year has been a genuine privilege. From our team to yours, we wish you a holiday season filled with peace, joy, and time well spent with the ones who matter most. Rest up, recharge, and enjoy the moment. Happy Holidays! 🎆

"Can you do me a quick favor?" 🤨 The gift no one wants 🥸 We all know the script. An SMS or WhatsApp from the "CEO" asking for gift cards for a client. It seems obvious in a training module. It feels very real when you are rushing to meet end-of-year deadlines and your boss’s name pops up on your phone 📲 In 2025, these aren't just text messages anymore. We are seeing AI-voice cloned calls leaving voicemails: "Hey, it's Mike, I'm stuck in a meeting, can you sort this out?" Traditional awareness training tells people to "look for typos" ❌ Social Intelligence teaches people to verify the behavior, not just the spelling ✅ If the request bypasses process, it’s a threat. No matter whose voice it is. #Deepfake #Vishing #HolidayScams #CyberSecurity #SocialEngineering

🇦🇷 We are back from an incredible week in Buenos Aires, and the energy is still high! The #ZepoTeam spent the last few days immersed in the vibrant financial ecosystem of Argentina. It was a week defined by two very different, but equally powerful, experiences: intimate connection and industry-wide collaboration. 🔵 First, the connection. We hosted an exclusive #ZepoTrustTable at the beautiful Happening Parrilla Argentina. It was a night of fantastic Argentine food and even better conversation. We stepped away from the sales pitches to have real, candid discussions with C-level leaders about the human side of cybersecurity challenges. 🔵 Next, the collaboration. We joined IT leaders at the #ITForumFinanciero by USUARIA. The buzz on the floor confirmed that the LATAM financial sector is moving fast toward innovation, and the need for robust, human-centric risk management has never been higher. A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth! Buenos Aires, thank you for having us. We’re already looking forward to the next time 🚀

The most dangerous time for your security team isn't Monday morning. It’s right now 👀 It’s Friday afternoon. December. Your team is mentally wrapping up. The "Out of Office" replies are starting to ping. This is exactly when the most sophisticated social engineering campaigns launch. 👉 Why? Because cognitive load is high, and vigilance is low. In 2025, we saw a 40% spike in #SocialEngineering attacks launched between Friday 2 PM and Sunday evening. Attackers know that a "Urgent: Invoice Overdue" email sent now is less likely to be double-checked and more likely to be panic-clicked. Security is not just about filters; it's about timing.
