I don't usually post work or business related things on here, as it's my outlet for therapeutic shitposting BUT that said, I was reminded yesterday that 2025 marked the 10th year in business for my little venture, Secure Being, an #infosec consultancy focused on issues that impact real people.
I originally set it up with two goals - 1) manage book related things, and 2) as I became more leadershippy™️ in my day job, I wanted to have the opportunity to stay hands-on, and still engage in pen-testing and forensics and all the good stuff I love.
I don't aggressively advertise the company, it's a word of mouth type thing really, I have a regular core of customers at this point, who keep me busy - but of course, always happy to add new ones.
This last year was probably the most fun I've had with it though, I done infosec work for a professional sports arena, a brand new model of jet aircraft and its avionics, and I've had about 6 or so critical findings on various products that have caused me to stop testing, and get immediate fixes in place - as the issues discovered were extremely risky to, not just businesses, but actual human people too - which of course was the main focus.
So yeah, here's to another 10 years! And if you are ever in the market for a pentester, forensicator, or anything else really - give us a look!
Cheers!
