About
I help small and mid-sized businesses approach cybersecurity in a practical, intentional way; without fear tactics, overcomplication, or checkbox security. As the founder of Byson Cyber, I work hands-on with organizations to assess real risk, strengthen cloud and identity environments, and provide clear guidance that aligns with how the business actually operates. My background spans information security, infrastructure, and modern cloud environments, with a focus on making security understandable, actionable, and sustainable for growing teams. Cybersecurity shouldn’t feel overwhelming or reactive. Done well, it creates confidence for leadership, employees, and the business as a whole.

🫘 Today's post is brought to you by my Iced Macchiato / Upside-Down Latte. 🤣☕
And now on LinkedIn, someone wanted a name so it has been named...
"The Bleeding Edge" - Always ahead of the curve 😂
Hope y'all have a great week!
Curious what everyone's thoughts are on AI Interviews?
Maybe it's just be but I've always enjoyed talking with someone directly. Always felt like if you give me an AI Interview for a contractor job/position, you don't value me as a person.
Again just my thoughts here and open for discussion! 😂
Howdy Y'all 😆,
Glad to be part of the community. Was curious if anyone here had any passion projects or side hobbies they enjoy?
Big one for me is coffee (Still a business technically 😂) but found out I just love coffee for well... coffee and community. So roast/profile/setup/etc locally to give back when I can.
My little spots on the interwebs here if you'd like to check them out.

What about y'all? (Yes a lot of UK/Europe folks here so feel free to poke fun at my US english 'y'all') LOL!
👋 Howdy everyone!
Figured I'd introduce myself since I'm new here.
I'm the owner of Byson Cyber, where I help small and mid-sized businesses reduce real cyber risk through practical cybersecurity consulting. Most of my work focuses on Microsoft 365 security, email security, cloud security, and helping organizations protect their business reputation from phishing and business email compromise.
Before starting Byson Cyber, I spent several years in managed detection and response and enterprise cybersecurity. Over the past year I've been fortunate enough to work with organizations ranging from small local businesses to larger enterprise projects, and I've found I really enjoy being a trusted advisor that people can call when they have security questions.
Looking forward to meeting everyone here, learning from the community, and hopefully helping where I can. If anyone ever wants to talk cybersecurity, Microsoft 365, email security, or just geek out over technology (or coffee ☕), don't hesitate to reach out.
Looking forward to getting to know everyone!
