#215 - Inside cyber warfare, intelligence, and investment with Hank Thomas, Managing Partner and Founder at Strategic Cyber Ventures

5/15/2025
On episode 215 of the Cybersecurity Defenders Podcast, Hank Thomas, Managing Partner and Founder at Strategic Cyber Ventures, shares his journey from Army intelligence officer to cyber-focused venture capitalist. But the most pressing part of the conversation is his call for a structural overhaul in how the US military handles cyber operations. Thomas argues that cyber is no longer a niche; it is the starting point for modern conflict. Yet cyber capability remains fragmented across service branches, leading to inefficiencies, talent drain, and even internal competition for resources. He makes the case for a separate, fully resourced cyber force, similar to the creation of the Air Force and Space Force, to truly secure the digital domain. He also shares concerns about government overreliance on contractors in critical cyber roles, the need for agile decision-making authority during cyber operations, and why AI must be deployed responsibly to defend a fractured critical infrastructure landscape.
