Operator-Led. Practitioner-First.

Fighting Smart Cyber was founded by three proven cyber operations leaders with decades of combined experience conducting offensive and defensive cyber operations at the highest classification levels.

We're not career theorists. We're operators who've designed, built, and run cyber capabilities in production. Our team includes a retired three-star general with cyber command experience, a senior officer with deep DCODefensive Cyber Operations/OCOOffensive Cyber Operations expertise, and a senior enlisted leader who's built secure architectures from the ground up.

We think holistically in DOTMLPF-PDoctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership, Personnel, Facilities, Policy terms—understanding that effective cybersecurity requires alignment across all organizational dimensions.
