About Open Security
Open Security was not assembled in a boardroom. It was built by operators, practitioners performing security operations every day, with military cyber backgrounds and years of real-world engagements behind every methodology, every report, and every line of Sirius. We are headquartered in Dallas and work with clients across the United States and remotely worldwide.

What we believe
You are not buying a test — you are buying what happens after. Every engagement is measured by the decisions it enables and the exposure it closes, not the page count it produces.
The same operators who run your engagement build the platform behind it — Sirius, Aludra, Portal, RTable. Building the tooling is why the work goes deeper than a firm running someone else’s scanner.
Automation and AI expand what our experts can cover; they never make the calls. Every finding that reaches you has been reviewed by an operator who stands behind it.
The Operator's Perspective
The operators behind the engagements — the people who still run the work, teach the craft, and stand behind the findings.
The Operator’s Perspective
Founder & Chief Information Officer
Offensive security operator, SANS instructor, and the founder behind Sirius — turning real attack experience into the methodology and tools other operators use.
The Operator’s Perspective
Chief Operating Officer
COO who runs security engineering and the applied AI behind Aludra. Tests stay scoped to business risk. Findings stay ones an engineer will stand behind.
The Operator’s Perspective
Principal Security Engineer
Principal Security Engineer who plans engagements, mentors operators, and teaches the craft — SANS SEC460, Red Team Village, and the Las Vegas AI Security Forum.
The Operator’s Perspective
Security Engineer
A self-taught security engineer who started in bug bounty by turning a blind SSRF in Yahoo Mail into remote code execution. The same instinct later found a high-severity SSRF in ChatGPT.
The Operator’s Perspective
Chief Executive Officer
Marine Corps veteran and co-founder who built Open Security to make operator-grade cybersecurity accessible to the businesses that actually need it.
Recognition
Open Security’s veteran roots are not a footnote — they are the operating model. National recognition for veteran enterprise and hiring reflects the discipline behind the work.
