Hawkeye Provides Shareholder Update

The company announces a change of mission for  2025

SAVANNAH, Ga., April 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Hawkeye Systems, Inc. (OTCQB: HWKE) announced the formation of Rift Cyber LLC, a newly created subsidiary focused on developing technologies that operate at the intersection of physical and digital security. This move marks a strategic realignment of Hawkeye's resources toward a domain where legacy systems have failed to keep pace with modern threat dynamics: the convergence of cyber and physical vulnerabilities.

Rift Cyber is building tools that treat physical security as a data problem leveraging threat modeling, automation, and digital intelligence to harden real-world environments. The company's initial roadmap includes modular platforms for physical asset monitoring, behavioral anomaly detection, and secure access controls, integrating software and sensor layers.

"This isn't cybersecurity for SMBs," said Hawkeye CEO Corby Marshall. "This is about recognizing that locks, guards, and gates aren't enough when attackers can pivot from physical to digital and back again. Rift is designed for that reality where every physical surface is a potential endpoint."

Security and technology veterans Christian Schjolberg (CTO Urvin.ai) and Pete Herzog (OSSTMM creator and ISECOM Director) will head the subsidiary. They bring decades of experience in threat architecture, red teaming, and operational resilience. Rift holds exclusive global licensing rights for a suite of proprietary technologies developed by its founders and will operate with independent governance and dedicated capital allocation.

Hawkeye's strategic goal with Rift is not an incremental improvement, it's to redefine how organizations think about securing environments where physical presence, digital infrastructure, and human behavior collide.
