RemoteThreat Launches With $7 Million for Offensive Operations Platform
RemoteThreat launched with $7 million pre-seed for an offensive operations platform combining C2, implants, initial access, and governed AI workflows.
RemoteThreat emerged from stealth with $7 million in pre-seed funding from Osage University Partners and DataTribe, founded by former IBM X-Force red team leaders Chris Thompson (CEO) and Shawn Jones (CTO). Its O/C/O platform combines mission planning, C2, cross-OS implants with in-memory execution, an initial access framework, an obfuscation pipeline, and AI assistants for enterprise, critical infrastructure, and US government mission teams. Retired US Army General Paul Nakasone's Nakasone Group serves as strategic advisor. Rules of engagement, no-strike controls, and traceable evidence are intended to constrain autonomous workflows.

RemoteThreat emerged from stealth mode on Tuesday with $7 million in pre-seed funding from Osage University Partners and DataTribe for its offensive operations platform.
The company was founded by Chris Thompson (CEO) and Shawn Jones (CTO), both IBM X-Force red team leaders. The Nakasone Group, the company launched recently by retired US Army General Paul M. Nakasone, will serve as a strategic advisor to RemoteThreat.
SecurityWeek interviewed Thompson earlier this year for our Hacker Conversations series.
RemoteThreat’s O/C/O Platform is built for offensive cyber operations, serving enterprise and critical infrastructure red teams, US government mission teams, and vetted defense partners.
It brings together eight connected systems: mission planning and oversight, command and control (C2), implants, an initial access framework, a set of composable capabilities, an obfuscation pipeline, targeting, tasking and analysis engines, and AI assistants.
The platform provides implants that work across operating systems and architectures and support in-memory execution, along with a C2 system that has configurable traffic profiles and can run alongside a team’s existing C2.

Operators can combine payloads, implants, and post-exploitation tools for each engagement. They can also apply control-flow obfuscation and configurable evasion techniques to fit the target environment.
Operations can be run manually, with AI assistance, or by handing specific tasks to autonomous workflows. Rules of Engagement, policies, approvals and no-strike controls constrain consequential actions, while operator decisions, delegated tasks and evidence are kept traceable.
“Our offensive cyber capabilities must outpace the adversary. New AI-driven attacks are fast but noisy, while human-driven operations take too long and struggle to scale. Expert operators spend too much time assembling tools and building integrations, on top of the cognitive demands of planning operations, weighing decisions, and adapting to rapidly changing networks,” said Thompson.
He added, “We founded RemoteThreat to close that gap by bringing composable, tunable offensive capabilities, operational infrastructure, and governed AI into one platform — so teams can execute more advanced, complex attacks at speed and scale while maintaining the precise control each mission demands.”
