In a recent op-ed for CyberScoop, Kibu CEO Ari Andersen addresses the pressing issue of digital trust in the wake of the "Signalgate" controversy.

Kibu was featured in Politico Pro’s coverage of growing national security concerns over the use of encrypted messaging apps like Signal by top U.S. officials. The article centers on a revealing Reuters photo of National Security Adviser Mike Waltz using Signal during a Cabinet meeting just weeks after another report exposed that military planning had been shared on the app.

Kibu was featured in Axios this week as part of their coverage on the rising demand for secure communication platforms in the wake of the ongoing “Signalgate” controversy. In the article, Axios explores how leaked communications over Signal—allegedly involving sensitive military information—have prompted a spike in interest among private sector leaders, law enforcement, and government-adjacent organizations for more secure, verifiable alternatives.

We’re excited to share that Kibu was featured in this week’s edition of POLITICO’s Weekly Cybersecurity newsletter, spotlighting our platform as a trusted alternative in the wake of growing concerns over the use of consumer messaging apps like Signal and WhatsApp for sensitive communications.

Kibu was the subject of a recent feature highlighting the origin of the company, born from a friendship, a shared mission, and a vision for a more trustworthy internet. In a profile by American University’s School of International Service, the article explores how Kibu founders Ari Andersen and Eftychis Gregos-Mourginakis—both SIS alumni—partnered with their former professor Eric Novotny to build a communication platform designed for today’s most urgent security challenge: verifying what’s real and who can be trusted online.

Kibu was featured in coverage of the growing landscape of deepfake detection and identity verification startups. The Axios article builds on a blog post by Norwest Venture Partners, “Rising Demand for Deepfake Security Solutions: How AI Is Enabling a New Frontier of Phishing Attacks”, in which they share a Deepfake & Brand Security Market Map that highlights category leaders in the current deepfake security market.
