Doppel names Hideki Ushigome as Japan Country Manager.

Doppel names Hideki Ushigome as Japan Country Manager. Mon, 3rd Aug 2026 (Today) Doppel has appointed Hideki Ushigome as Country Manager for Japan, adding a long-serving cybersecurity executive to its leadership team in the market. He will oversee growth, operations, partnerships and customer strategy as Doppel expands its local presence after entering Japan earlier this year. Ushigome brings more than 25 years of experience across technology and cybersecurity. Most recently, he was Country Manager at Swimlane, where he led the relaunch of the company's Japan operations and worked with government and financial services customers. Before that, he spent more than five years as Japan Country Manager at Recorded Future, where he established the company's Japanese operations and helped grow the country into its second-largest market worldwide. He has also held Country Manager roles at Rapid7 and Websense, as well as senior leadership positions at Check Point and Sophos. The appointment comes as Doppel expands its leadership team and adds staff in Japan across sales, customer success, field marketing and channel partnerships. Those hires will work with customers and partners from evaluation and deployment through ongoing operations. Japan has become a focus for Doppel as it seeks to address social engineering threats targeting local organisations and users. Recent intelligence from a honeypot project in Japan showed phishing activity began immediately after launch, with sensors receiving thousands of unsolicited messages in the first five weeks. Threat patterns Financial services and payments accounted for 67.8% of impersonated brands identified through that research, followed by eCommerce and fintech at 23.3%, according to the company. It also found that 67% of malicious lures arrived on Mondays or Fridays, while 47% arrived at either 9 a.m. or noon Japan time. The findings point to a threat environment shaped by local brands, language and daily routines. Doppel argues this localisation can make attacks harder to detect using approaches developed for other markets. "Doppel has built a differentiated approach to one of the most urgent challenges facing organizations across the globe," said Hideki Ushigome, Country Manager for Japan at Doppel. "I am thrilled to join the company at such an important stage of growth and to help build Doppel's presence in Japan. I look forward to working closely with our customers, partners, and growing local team to bring our industry leading social engineering defense platform to more organizations across the market." His arrival follows Doppel's broader push into Japan and comes amid growing concern in the cybersecurity sector over the use of artificial intelligence to create more convincing phishing and impersonation attempts in local languages. "Japan represents a critical frontier in the fight against global social engineering," said Kevin Tian, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Doppel. "Historically, the complexity of the Japanese language created a 'language firewall' for many global threat actors. AI is rapidly eroding that advantage, making it easier to produce convincing Japanese-language impersonations and launch targeted campaigns at scale. Hideki's experience building trusted cybersecurity businesses in Japan will be essential as we deepen our investment in the market and help organizations adapt to this evolving threat landscape." Doppel's Japanese honeypot project was designed to capture phishing activity targeting local users directly. The data gives the company a closer view of how attackers build campaigns around familiar consumer and business touchpoints. That intelligence is also informing Doppel's local strategy as it builds out its team and customer base. Elsewhere in the business, Ofir Ronen recently joined as Senior Vice President of Customer Success. Josh Bartolomie, who leads threat intelligence at Doppel, linked the research to the company's expansion in Japan. "Japan's phishing ecosystem is highly localized, creating important gaps in how threats are traditionally detected," said Josh Bartolomie. "By observing attacks directly within the target environment, we can help organizations identify and disrupt campaigns earlier. I'm excited to partner with Hideki to bring these vital insights to customers across Japan and help them strengthen their defenses against an evolving threat landscape."

Doppel Email Security now generally available, bringing agentic Detection and disruption to the inbox.

Doppel Email Security now generally available, bringing agentic Detection and disruption to the inbox. Jul 30, 2026, 09:02 ET Company also introduces AI Managed Service for Human Risk Management to help security teams autonomously run and optimize employee cyber resilience programs SAN FRANCISCO, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Doppel, the AI-native Social Engineering Defense (SED) platform, today announced the general availability of Doppel Email Security, its agentic email security solution built to help organizations detect malicious messages and disrupt the campaign infrastructure behind them. Leveraging agentic AI and the Doppel Threat Graph, the solution is purpose-built to protect against the entire social engineering attack chain, disrupting malicious campaigns before they escalate into broader attacks. Despite decades of innovation in email security, defenders are still forced to fight modern attacks with manual workflows. Security teams are left painstakingly investigating campaigns while attackers automate freely, and engineers are still debugging and deconflicting detection policies manually. And while each generation of email security has improved at scoring the inbox - moving from blocklists and reputation systems to behavioral machine learning and YARA-based signatures - it's not enough. Frontier AI, including highly capable models and autonomous agents, has made convincing fakes nearly indistinguishable from legitimate messages and compressed attack timelines from days to minutes. And traditional platforms still lack visibility into the campaign infrastructure behind them. Doppel Email Security is built to help security teams fight back. Its agentic, self-healing architecture continuously tunes detection policies, investigates threats, explains decisions in plain language, and closes detection gaps in real-time. By connecting inbox activity with the external infrastructure mapped by the Doppel Threat Graph, Doppel helps organizations identify and disrupt novel attacks that static, inbox-only tools may miss. "Legacy email security vendors are still optimizing for better scoring and faster quarantine, but that is not enough to protect customers from modern social engineering," said Kevin Tian, co-founder and CEO of Doppel. "Doppel Email Security is built to go further by connecting inbox activity to the infrastructure behind the attack and helping security teams disrupt the broader campaign. With general availability, we are delivering on our vision for a unified platform that fuses our Digital Risk Protection external intel with our Email Security internal telemetry." Key capabilities include: * Disruption Through Targeted Takedowns: Doppel uses AI agents to trace phishing threats to the infrastructure behind them and execute takedowns of malicious sending infrastructure and links. When unified with Doppel Digital Risk Protection, disruption can extend across the broader campaign, including lookalike domains, fake profiles, and impersonation kits. * Capacity Scaled by the Doppel Agentic SOC: Doppel's self-healing architecture continuously tunes detection policies, investigates threats, explains decisions in plain language, and closes gaps in real time. This helps security teams reduce manual rule maintenance and move toward clear, human-readable detection policies that improve continuously. Every investigation explains itself, so the SOC no longer loses time deciphering complex logic or tracking down emails. * Detection Extended by the Doppel Threat Graph: AI agents inspect messages using content, sender behavior, and attacker infrastructure mapped by the Doppel Threat Graph. The agentic detection stack is self-healing, improving with every decision, helping identify novel attacks that static, inbox-only tools may miss. "Security teams are expected to make high-confidence decisions in minutes, often with incomplete information," said Giuseppe Petracca, Lead Detection and Response Security Engineer at AngelList. "Doppel Email Security provides the additional context and evidence needed to understand why an email is malicious, giving analysts greater confidence in every decision. By enriching detections with actionable intelligence instead of isolated signals, it reduces investigative effort, accelerates response, and helps teams consistently make better, data-driven security decisions." Doppel Introduces AI Managed Service for Human Risk Management Alongside the general availability of Email Security, Doppel is also launching AI Managed Service, a new Human Risk Management (HRM) capability designed to help lean security teams run continuously optimized security awareness and simulation programs with minimal ongoing administration. Running an effective HRM program traditionally requires teams to make recurring decisions about campaign themes, channels, difficulty, cadence, audience targeting, and follow-up training. Manual campaign builders simplify individual tasks, but they still require security teams to manage and tune the overall program over time. With AI Managed Service, customers define their goals, organizational context, and guardrails once. Doppel's agentic AI then designs, runs, and continuously optimizes the security awareness and simulation program using employee behavior, Phishing Triage data, and threat intelligence from Digital Risk Protection. Key capabilities include: * One-Time Setup and Custom Guardrails: Customers define key parameters such as program goals, risk priorities, desired campaign frequency, difficulty, target groups, and employee experience without configuring each campaign individually. * Autonomous Campaign Design and Orchestration: Doppel AI builds tailored simulation scenarios, with relevant themes, tools, and channels, then schedules, launches, evaluates, and adjusts campaigns automatically. * Continuous, Agentic Optimization: The program improves over time using employee behavior and live threat intelligence, enabling autonomous end-to-end program management with minimal ongoing input from security teams. "Security teams should not have to choose between running an effective Human Risk Management program and focusing on the dozens of other priorities competing for their attention," said Rahul Madduluri, co-founder and CTO of Doppel. "AI Managed Service allows teams to set their objectives and guardrails once, then rely on agentic AI to design, run, and improve the program continuously. This approach demonstrates how agentic systems can reduce operational burden while strengthening defenses across both technical controls and human risk." Together, Doppel Email Security and AI Managed Service help security teams reduce manual investigation, policy tuning, campaign design, scheduling, and program maintenance. Both capabilities are built on Doppel's broader platform strategy: applying shared intelligence and agentic AI across Digital Risk Protection, Human Risk Management, and Email Security to defend against the entire social engineering attack chain. Solution Availability To learn more about these offerings in person, visit the Doppel booth (#3367) at Black Hat 2026, August 4-6, in Las Vegas, Nevada. About Doppel Doppel is the AI-native platform for social engineering defense (SED), protecting individuals and brands from AI-powered impersonation, phishing, fraud, and social engineering through three solutions unified on a shared intelligence layer. Digital Risk Protection (DRP) detects threats across multiple channels, links alerts into a real-time threat graph, and delivers AI-driven infrastructure disruption. Human Risk Management (HRM) turns those live threats into phishing simulation campaigns and next-generation security awareness training, measuring and reducing employee risk by user and team. Email Security adds inline protection, using a self-healing, agentic architecture that tunes detection policies, investigates threats, closes detection gaps, and uses the Doppel Threat Graph to stop inbox attacks and disrupt the infrastructure behind them. Together, they defend the entire social engineering attack chain, from infrastructure built before a target is acquired to the moment of compromise, advancing Doppel's mission to protect the world from social engineering, every day.
