About HybridSec
HybridSec is a boutique hybrid security consultancy that specializes at the intersection of digital and real-world risk. We bring multi-domain expertise to organizations whose security programs are too tech-focused to effectively address the complex human-machine interfaces where most consequential incidents actually occur.
The Performance Coach Model
Traditional security consultants sell tools, frameworks, or compliance programs. We work differently.
Think of us as enterprise cybersecurity performance coaches. We help security leaders build the strategic capacity to understand and respond to hybrid threats that traditional information security programs aren't equipped to handle.
We focus on the gaps: where IT security meets physical security, where technical vulnerabilities create operational consequences, where digital incidents require coordinated real-world response, and where organizational complexity obscures actual risk.
Our Practice
Most information security programs are ill-prepared to minimize the impact of hybrid threats. They're overbuilt for technical problems (patch management, network monitoring, endpoint protection) but underprepared for the complex scenarios where cyber risk intersects with physical security, supply chain operations, crisis management, and business continuity.
We work with organizations facing:
- Threats that span digital and physical domains
- Incidents that cascade across organizational boundaries
- Risk questions that fall between traditional security silos
- Leadership challenges translating technical risk into strategic context
We don't offer fixed packages. Each engagement is shaped by the specific challenges you're facing, the organizational context, and the outcomes you need to achieve.
Two Entities, One Mission
HybridSec operates through two distinct but aligned entities:
HybridSec.io (Commercial Practice)
Our primary consulting practice. We serve legal counsel, insurance carriers, and enterprise clients on commercial engagements. This includes claims analysis, incident investigations, strategic advisory, and resilience work. All work is fee-based and scoped specifically to client needs.
HybridSec.org (Research & Education)
A separate 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on public-interest research, education, and knowledge-sharing. Work includes open-source research, training content, tabletop scenario development, and thought leadership on hybrid threats and cyber resilience.
The two entities are legally and financially separate. Commercial clients engage with HybridSec.io. Research and educational initiatives run through HybridSec.org. This structure allows us to serve commercial clients while contributing to the broader security community through nonprofit research and education.
Our Approach to Engagements
Independence: We don't take equity, board seats, or contingent fees. We're not vendors, and we're not building products. Our only stake is delivering defensible analysis.
Privilege: We structure engagements through counsel whenever possible and design our work to preserve attorney-client privilege and work product protections.
Speed: We mobilize quickly. For time-critical matters, we can often begin work within 24 hours and deliver initial findings in days, not weeks.
Rigor: We apply forensic standards even when they're not strictly required. Evidence handling, chain of custody, and documented methodology are defaults, not options.
Who We Are
HybridSec is led by practitioners with backgrounds spanning incident response, digital forensics, physical security operations, threat intelligence, crisis management, and strategic risk. Our expertise comes from working at the intersections between cyber and physical security, between technical analysis and operational response, and between tactical incident handling and strategic risk leadership.
We've responded to breaches that required coordinated digital and physical investigation. We've advised organizations through crises that cascaded from IT systems into operational disruption. We've helped security leaders translate complex technical risks into strategic guidance for boards and executive teams.
We're small by design. That allows us to stay focused on the work that matters, maintain quality control, and avoid the overhead and conflicts that come with scale. When specialized expertise is needed beyond our core team, we bring in trusted specialists on a case-by-case basis.
