The founder
Seventeen years protecting the nation’s most sensitive environments.
Laurence Jackson spent more than 17 years in national security, supporting secure-environment operations from the organizational level to the tactical level, much of it inside the intelligence community. He protected people, information, sensitive equipment, and secure facilities, with deployments supporting coalition missions in Iraq and Afghanistan.
He then turned that discipline toward IT and cybersecurity: graduating with honors from Honolulu Community College, earning a Bachelor of Applied Science in Information Assurance from the University of Hawai‘i–West O‘ahu, and now pursuing a master’s in Cybersecurity and Information Assurance at Western Governors University, alongside master’s degrees in International Management (Troy University) and Intelligence Studies (American Military University).
“You can count on us for straightforward solutions and the accountability that comes with veteran leadership.”
