Tammy Moskites

Tammy Moskites is the CEO and founder of CyAlliance, which Crunchbase lists as starting in November 2019. She is based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Her bios describe her as a strategic advisor, seed investor and alliance builder for security companies and startups, with more than 30 years of technology and security experience.

She is a career CISO. Her roles include Managing Director and Senior Security Executive at Accenture (October 2017 to December 2019) and Global CIO and CISO at Venafi (February 2014 to October 2017). She was previously CISO at Time Warner Cable and The Home Depot, and held an information security officer role at Huntington Bank.

She is a Distinguished Fellow of the Ponemon Institute. She is also a Venture Advisor to YL Ventures, where a conference bio says she assesses early-stage security startups for investment. She hosts CISO networking events and volunteers with ISACA, ISSA and SheLeadsTech.

Public sources describe her as a seed investor, mainly in security companies she also advises. A 2021 AppViewX announcement names her as a seed investor at Grip Security. In a LinkedIn post she called Gist Security a seed investment partner when it came out of stealth. Crunchbase lists 5 personal investments, with Spectrum Security as the latest.

She also advises companies as part of the CyAlliance portfolio. Her LinkedIn posts name Astrix Security as a portfolio partner, and she congratulated it on Cisco's announced intent to acquire it. Crunchbase and ZoomInfo list other advisory roles, but those sources do not say which were paid advisory roles and which involved an investment.

Spectrum Security is the AI-related round on the Lounge deals desk. It raised a $19M seed round, reported in April 2026. Press coverage says TechOperators led the round, with WhiteRabbit Ventures, Skinos Ventures and Alumni Ventures also participating. Crunchbase lists her as an investor in the round. The company works on automated threat detection.

Her LinkedIn activity also shows interest in agentic AI and non-human identity security, including posts about Astrix Security and Aembit. The sources do not give the size of her own check in any round.

Her public investments are in cybersecurity, mostly identity and access, SaaS and cloud security, and threat detection. Everything found is seed stage. She works with the CISO community, so founders selling to security leaders are the closest fit. Her check size, fund size and any stated investment thesis are not public.
