Mike Charobee
You’ve invested heavily in technology and cyber security, yet the threats keep evolving, and the results don’t always justify the spend.
What if you had a trusted partner who understood both the technology and the people behind the mission?
I’m Mike Charobee, and for over two decades I’ve lived at the intersection of technology, leadership, and trust—working alongside CISOs and CIOs to strengthen defenses and elevate strategy.
My journey into entrepreneurship started with a desire to build something deeply personal: a business that reflects my heritage, my values, and my commitment to service.
My great grandfather was a butcher; both of my grandfathers served in WWII and later worked the steel mills and coal mines around Pittsburgh.
Their grit, discipline, and pride inspired our brand symbol, the strong bear wielding a shield forged from coal and steel, crowned to honor our home in Charlotte, North Carolina, the Queen City.
This emblem stands for toughness, integrity, and the relentless spirit that drives us every day.
As a cyber security aggregator and outfitter, our mission is simple: help you drive more value from your cybersecurity investments.
Our seasoned advisors help you pinpoint technologies and strategies that stop more attacks, detect breaches faster, accelerate response, and minimize damage, so your business stays resilient and focused on its core mission.
Let’s talk cyber and build a stronger defense together.
