About Lifeline Cyber: Your Security Partner

---

Hi, I'm Stephen, the founder of Lifeline Cyber and a passionate Cyber Security expert with over 18 years of experience in IT and digital forensics. I've been surrounded by technology since I was 6 years old when my dad taught me how to program and load MS-DOS. That early exposure sparked my love for technology, which ultimately evolved into a full-fledged career in cyber security.

I understand that in today's fast-paced digital world, businesses need not only the right tools but also the right partners to navigate the complex landscape of cyber threats. That’s where I come in.

What drives me is building connections with people and helping them secure their digital environment. Whether I’m working with Fortune 100 companies or small local businesses, the goal is the same: to provide clear, honest, and effective cyber security consulting that is tailored to each client’s needs. I’m here to guide you through the complexities of compliance, security automation, and digital forensics, so you can focus on what you do best—running your business.

There are plenty of cyber security professionals out there, but what sets me apart is my unique blend of technical skills and people skills. I keep the tech jargon and sales pitches to a minimum, focusing instead on transparent communication and delivering practical solutions that make sense for you. My approach to security is collaborative and educational. I’ll explain the "why" behind the "how," so you can understand the choices we make together.

At Lifeline Cyber, we offer specialized forensic services and automation consulting to businesses of all sizes. From helping you recover from cyber incidents to automating your security processes, I bring hands-on experience and a solution-oriented mindset. I've worked alongside the FBI on forensic investigations, reverse-engineered malware - most notably the notorious Emotet Malware, and collaborated with organizations in industries such as medical, energy, and fintech. Each experience has shaped my ability to help you not only protect your digital assets but also recover from and learn from any incidents that may occur.

While I take cyber security seriously, I believe it doesn’t have to be complicated or impersonal. My approach is friendly, confident, and always focused on achieving the best outcome for you. Whether we’re discussing compliance or frameworks like GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, NIST, CIS, and ISO or building custom security automations with your existing tools, my goal is to make your experience as straightforward and stress-free as possible.

The bottom line is, I want to make sure you feel good about working with me. My expertise in cyber security and digital forensics can help safeguard your business, but it's the relationship we build together that makes the difference. If you're ready to take your cyber security to the next level, let's connect. I’d love to discuss how we can work together to meet your unique needs.
