Our Founder's Story

After much prayer, Douglas Scott - Nicknamed Scotty stumbled upon a few secrets to accelerate cyber defense modernization.  Scotty co-authored the book Accelerated Work Effort (AWE) with Anthony Washington about delivery with remote teams offering better communications, teamwork collaboration, and a focus on test validation, to accelerate business-critical projects. Scotty began testing the approach on cyber defense modernization projects with much success and now offers these methods to replicate his mission essential task list (METL) to protect this great country.  Our Story 

God's Miracles ✝️

Our founder before his accident had won team gold and silver awards after completing a few major security-themed projects in cloud factory, ATM and mobile check scan image deposits, mobile paywave/paypass, chip and pin (P2Pe), bluetooth (BLE), pervasive WIFI, he decided to the methods on cyber defense projects. 

God provides miracles to our chief visionary officer who was knocked out of commission back in 2015 at the top of his career. This tragedy occurred just as his program delivery won seven awards at a Fortune 100 tax preparer organization, and Green Team of the Year at a major banking institution. Tragically a young person ran a red light and changed my life forever.  The accident left him unable to read or write, and balance after four brain injuries that changed his life forever. Most doctors and attorneys offered little hope and requested 100% disability.

After facing numerous failures in various jobs, including positions at a local sporting goods department and a car dealership struggling with vision and hearing challenges due to multiple injuries. This situation seemed hopeless as they underwent seven years of medical treatments, accumulating $250K in credit card and hospital bills. To make matters worse, their home was on the verge of being sold on the courthouse steps.

However, on one scorching summer day at the local car dealership, a miracle call came through from a major network security services supplier. Despite not having updated their LinkedIn profile since the car accident that caused their injuries, they were offered an opportunity to work on Bank of America's extensive wifi project for mesh upgrades at two prominent buildings in Charlotte Financial Centers.

As tears rolled down Scotty's face upon hearing the requirements for this project, they felt a divine intervention guiding them forward. With determination and faith in God's plan, they asked when they could start—and astonishingly enough, they were told within two weeks.

Having a sense of humor proved to be invaluable as it allowed him to find laughter amidst the numerous challenges he faced. One day, in his quest for knowledge, he decided to search for the word "cognitive" in the training system that was designed to enhance his skills. To his delight, a free course called Cognitive Threat Analytics – CTA appeared, and without hesitation, he enrolled.

Driven by his thirst for knowledge and personal growth, he continued exploring other courses available. The Cybersecurity Program Manager course caught his attention, and he eagerly enrolled in that as well.

While juggling demanding hours on a massive wifi project involving over 68 new switches and thousands of access points for an entire year, he dedicated himself to studying diligently. Finally, after six attempts at passing the exam during that year-long period, success came knocking at his door.

His boss noticed this remarkable achievement and asked if he had taken courses in CTA and Cyber program management. Astonished by his perseverance and determination over the past year, they congratulated him on passing the exam—a feat accomplished by only a select few across the country who now held the prestigious Cognitive Threat Intelligence - CTA credential.  

Anthony Washington experienced yet another miracle when he started documenting digitally transcribed notes about the best practices for teams working remotely without location boundaries a year ago. This valuable knowledge was compiled into a book that has now been published, shedding light on how remote teamwork has successfully driven major projects over the past two decades.

The Accelerated Work Effort - AWE book is just one of God’s miracles to a veteran survivor.

Miracles Continue

Our founder began listening to teams in the UK about the power of open-source intelligence (OSINT).  The community had been sharing public data of forgotten digital assets, misconfigurations, and expired PKI certificates broadcasting across the internet to cyber criminals like "Hey come hack us right here".  After conducting passive data aggregation against top public data sources, the concept of external cyber threat intelligence -eCTI was born. The data could be pulled fresh each time making this a bigger-than-big secret that had been missed by over 100 security tools and popular risk rating systems.  

The most recent miracle occurred when Scotty stumbled upon social media posts from US, EMEA, and APAC teams, claiming that top companies were opening their doors to remote workers. This was particularly prevalent in critical sectors such as finance, insurance, manufacturing, water facilities, power generation, telecommunications, and more. Since then, an astounding 22 million external vulnerabilities have been identified using publicly available data sources. These vulnerabilities were discovered through passive scanning of access points within Fortune 100-500 companies and all 400 federal agencies. We are proud to assemble an exceptional team of channel partner professionals who have come together in record time to safeguard our great country.  Since those early days, the methods have racked up over 42 team victories using the same repeatable process.  His C-Suite leaders encouraged him to change the theme to become a delivery management focus and encouraged him to investigate ways to duplicate himself into a scaleable solution. Now organizations can accelerate time to value for better return on investment.  After each use, estimating improves for more accurate funding on critical business initiatives.  

Encouragement

Our founder began a lifelong pursuit to write his new normal and veteran comeback story after surviving four brain injuries in 2015 when a young lady ran a red light that changed his life forever.  God's miracle came when learning to read and write then began a daily regiment of brain exercises just to be able to return to work.  When things seemed rather hopeless, Scotty gained the opportunity to study cyber security program management - CSPM, cognitive threat analytics - #CTA and cyber threat intelligence - #CTI.  This miracle was recently shared with the Gary Sinise Foundation. Of course, Gary is best known as LT. Dan from the movie Forest Gump on Amazon Prime or DVD.  Scotty's strong desire to continue serving his country grew even with what he still calls his terrifying Forest Gump moments where he just cannot grab a word but 5-15 minutes later; it's urgent. Please find a special endorsement from LT. Dan - Gary Sinise with encouragement for this veteran's mission.
