Veteran-Owned. Built by engineers who've actually done the work.
§ 01 | ON THE RECORD

Most cybersecurity
founders build
a deck. We built the platform first.

Before a pitch deck. Before a dollar of outside capital. Carbynix operated as a live, production MDR platform on AWS, authored in-house by a federal-trained detection engineer.

Behind the name

Carbyne is a one-atom-thick chain of carbon, calculated to be the strongest material in known physics. In isolation it has never been stabilized: the strength is real, the structure is the engineering problem. Carbynix is the same proposition, applied to detection and response.

§ 02 | THE THESIS

Regulated businesses of every scale. No one building for them.

Law firms. Accounting practices. Healthcare providers. Insurance agencies. Financial services firms. Manufacturing operations. Government contractors. From twenty-five-endpoint practices to ten-thousand-endpoint enterprise Active Directory forests. State bars, the FTC, HIPAA, the NAIC, the SEC, FINRA, and a growing list of state statutes require these organizations to maintain continuous security monitoring. They face the same adversaries as the Fortune 500 and carry much of the same sensitive data. They cannot afford the platforms built for the Fortune 500, and they rarely survive the ones sold to them by general IT vendors.

Carbynix exists because federal-trained detection engineers know exactly what these organizations need, and a Fortune 500 technology executive knows exactly how to deliver it to them.

Carbynix is not a security tool assembled from a vendor catalog. It is a discipline, delivered as a service.

§ 03 | FOUNDERS OF RECORD

The engineers and the executive.

Regulated buyers ask two questions. Can the detection technology stop a real adversary? And can the service be delivered at institutional quality, under audit, at the scale our business requires? The first question belongs to the engineers. The second belongs to the executive.

THE ENGINEER

The builder who defined what world-class looks like in managed detection and response, and then built it before anyone handed him a check.


Our founder built a live, production MDR platform on AWS, with a full library of custom behavioral detection logic, before raising a single dollar of outside capital. His detection knowledge comes from the inside. DHS / CISA defending critical U.S. infrastructure. NIH protecting federal biomedical research. Global IR consulting advising Fortune 500 enterprises. He wrote the detection rules. He built the forensic triage workflows. He designed the compliance documentation architecture. When a Carbynix client receives an ABA 483 report or HIPAA incident documentation, it was built by the engineer who operated inside the federal institutions those mandates protect.

THE EXECUTIVE

The executive who scales what our founder built, translating world-class detection capability into world-class service delivery.


Our president does not come from cybersecurity the way most people in this industry do. He comes from the places where the consequences of a security failure are measured in billions of dollars. Over two decades he has served as CTO, CIO, and Executive Management Consultant across founder-led startups, Fortune 500 enterprises, and the world’s largest financial-services outsourcer, processing over $10 trillion in daily transaction volume. Trusted advisor to private equity sponsors and a seasoned partner through M&A transactions and full-cycle PE engagements, from due diligence through integration and value creation.

He has led full cloud migrations and complex global data-center outsourcing and insourcing programs, and has built and transformed full-stack global businesses alongside their supporting infrastructure. His approach to security is equally full-stack: aligning risk prioritization to business value at every layer, from board-level strategy down to operational execution.

He has led ransomware response with zero revenue impact, stood up 24/7 SOCs, built ISO 27001 programs across global locations, and navigated SEC, FINRA, and HIPAA. Not as a vendor selling a product. As the executive accountable for the organization that hired him.

§ 04 | LEADERS & ENGINEERS

A senior-weighted bench. No generalists. No proxies.

Six disciplines, six leads. Every function below is owned by someone with production cybersecurity experience. Not a recent graduate, not a generalist, not a project manager with a security certification.

The platform is the product. The people are the moat. You cannot replicate the forensic depth of a team that has investigated federal-level incidents at the price point of a team that has eliminated the enterprise overhead. That combination is Carbynix.

MITRE ATT&CKThreat IntelligenceBehavioral AnalyticsRule AuthorshipAdversary Tradecraft

Owns the 1,100+ MITRE ATT&CK mapped detection rules that form the backbone of every Carbynix deployment. Translates adversary tradecraft into detection logic that fires in production environments, not lab conditions.

Client Success & Intelligence Lead

Client Relations · Threat Briefings · Onboarding · Retention
Client OnboardingThreat BriefingsVertical IntelligenceNPS & RetentionEscalation Management

Client success at Carbynix is an intelligence function, not a support function. Vertical specific threat briefings drawn from active incident data flowing through the platform. A dental practice receives briefings on healthcare ransomware. A defense subcontractor receives briefings on DoD-adjacent activity. A law firm receives briefings on legal-sector exfiltration trends. Specific, credible, immediately actionable.

Onboarding
Full lifecycle for new subscribers, from endpoint agent deployment through first detection validation.
Threat briefings
Quarterly and ad-hoc vertical specific intelligence briefings drawn from live platform telemetry.
Retention & expansion
Manages renewals, tier upgrades, and professional services cross-sell across the active client base.
Escalation management
Coordinates the IR chain from first acknowledgment through post-incident forensic delivery.
A NOTE ON TEAM STRUCTURE

Carbynix is deliberately structured as a senior-weighted, lean organization. As we scale, adding analyst capacity, opening MSP channels, and entering new markets, this senior-weighted culture will be the primary constraint on hiring speed. We will grow carefully, because the quality of every client engagement depends on the quality of the people delivering it.

§ 05 | INSTITUTIONAL PROVENANCE

The detection logic running on every Carbynix endpoint was forged inside these three institutions.

Not studied. Not benchmarked. Forged. The same training ground the federal government uses to defend itself.

01
FEDERAL CYBER DEFENSE

U.S. Department of Homeland Security / CISA

The federal agency responsible for defending U.S. critical infrastructure and civilian government networks. At the center of the government’s response to nation-state actors, ransomware syndicates, and advanced persistent threat groups.

02
BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH

National Institutes of Health / $39B enterprise

The world’s leading funder of biomedical research. Protects $39 billion in annual funding and the most sensitive genomic and clinical-trial data in the country, under federal FISMA and HIPAA requirements.

03
DETECTION ENGINEERING

Global cybersecurity engineering / Google · Mandiant

The most trusted name in cybersecurity consulting globally. Where the detection practice and methodology that now powers Carbynix was forged, through direct engineering work applied to real threats at the highest level of the profession.
