From investment to unicorn. Great to sit down with Carlos Moreira da Silva, Managing Partner at 33N Ventures at GISEC Global to talk cybersecurity investment and backing the companies shaping the future of cyber defence.
🎤
And this week, one of the companies 33N Ventures has backed since 2024 hit unicorn status: Italian cybersecurity firm Exein made the announcement following a $270M raise at a $1.7BN valuation. 33N continued its investment in the latest round and is one of the biggest shareholders today.

Great to be back on the main-stage at @gisecglobal 2026.
From AI-powered cyber threats and deepfake detection, to digital sovereignty, quantum security and machine-speed defence - all the big players in cybersecurity were in town. Some of the key highlights:

⚡The rise in cyberattacks during regional conflict — 800,000 a day at its peak (Attacks were proactively detected, with government and private-sector partners sharing threat intelligence to identify attackers and respond quickly according to H.E Dr Mohamed Al Kuwaiti, Head of the UAE Cybersecurity Council.)
⚡️ AI is transforming both attack and defence
⚡️Dubai launched SARAAB, its Emirati-built deepfake detection model
⚡️Quantum security emerging as the next major frontier
⚡️The race towards machine-speed defence as attackers become faster and more automated

Great sit downs with:
🎙️ Dr. Agostino Ghiglia, Commissioner, Italian Data Protection Authority — on who really owns the intelligence in the age of AI
🎙️ Roeland Delrue, Co-founder & COO of Aikido Security — on building one of Europe’s fastest-growing cybersecurity companies and scaling at 947%.
🎙️ Carlos Moreira da Silva, Managing Partner at 33N Ventures — on where the smart money is going in cybersecurity
🎙️ Ofer Smadari, CEO of Torq — on why attackers are moving at machine speed

Such a brilliant 2 days so far even had 4x Emmy Nominated actor Michael Kelly in for a session on deepfakes in Hollywood. See you there for day 3 @expocitydubai
