Why an HBS Virtual Security Engineer?

We Strengthen Your Team

Your vSE becomes an extension of your staff—handling day-to-day tasks, sharing threat intel, and helping you make sense of your environment so you can stay ahead of threats.

We help you identify your biggest risks, prioritize them, and put the right controls in place to reduce them—without wasting time on what doesn’t move the needle.

He is holding his glasses in one hand and appears to be focused on the code displayed on a computer screen in front of him. The setting suggests a modern office environment, possibly at night given the lighting, and his lanyard implies he may be a virtual security engineer.
