## About Doppel

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: Doppel is an AI-native platform for social engineering defense, protecting organizations from AI-powered impersonation, phishing, fraud, and multi-channel attacks.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Series A/B stage)
- **Headquarters**: New York, NY, USA

- **Primary industry/industries**: Cybersecurity (Social Engineering Defense, Digital Risk Protection, Email Security)
- **Target customers**: B2B — Security Operations Centers (SOCs), enterprise security teams, executive leadership

## Products & Services
- **Digital Risk Protection (DRP)**: Detects and eliminates external threats across social media, domains, marketplaces, and beyond, using autonomous action to disrupt attacks before they reach executives, customers, or revenue.
- **Human Risk Management**: Strengthens employees against real attacker tactics (deepfakes, vishing, multi-channel pretexting) via training and simulation.
- **Email Security**: Agentic detection and response powered by the Doppel Threat Graph — catches what traditional filters miss and stops campaigns in their tracks.
- **Phishing Triage**: Uses agentic AI to turn employee-reported signals into machine-speed remediation and defense.
- **Security Awareness Training**: Tailored, deepfake-enabled, threat-informed training and personalized coaching.
- **Simulation**: Realistic phishing simulations that reveal real vulnerabilities and build response readiness.
