<\/a><\/a>\nDoppel\u2019s brand will be showcased at Knicks home games at Madison Square Garden (MSG), including through in-arena contests and Gardenvision features during Knicks regular season games. Additionally, the Knicks digital channels will feature Doppel in a variety of ways, including a content series on Knicks socials.<\/p>
\n\u201cMy co-founder Rahul and I came up with the concept of Doppel on a basketball court, so partnering with the New York Knicks feels like a full-circle moment,\u201d said Kevin Tian, CEO and Co-Founder of Doppel. \u201cIn basketball, defense determines outcomes in the highest-pressure moments, and in social engineering defense, the same is true. For impersonation and phishing attacks that target high-profile organizations and their executives daily, the best offense is a good social engineering defense. The Knicks operate in one of the most visible, high-stakes environments in sports, and that is exactly where our technology is built to perform. This partnership puts our mission to protect the world from social engineering attacks on one of the biggest stages in the world.\u201d<\/p>
\nBringing the partnership outdoors, Doppel will be included across MSG\u2019s digital signage boards, providing brand visibility to those who walk by the arena every day.<\/p>
\n\u201cWe welcome Doppel to the Knicks family,\u201d said Doug Jossem, Executive Vice President Global Sports and Entertainment Partnerships, MSG Entertainment. \u201cBringing them on board as a valued partner unlocks new ways to connect and engage with fans, and deliver value across our platforms, both inside and outside of the Arena.\u201d<\/p>
\n\u201cWe built Doppel to be an AI-native platform that could identify and disrupt social engineering attacks, like deepfakes or phishing, before they ever reach their target,\u201d said Rahul Madduluri, CTO and Co-Founder of Doppel. \u201cThat requires operating in real time with a high degree of precision and resilience. Those are the same standards that define elite organizations like the New York Knicks, where performance and discipline are non-negotiable. That shared mindset is what makes this partnership so natural.\u201d<\/p>
