Team 42 wasn't built on a single vision but a shared one – forged in the crucible of real-world security challenges. Our founding team, veterans of the United States Marine Corps and U.S. Special Operations Command, brings a combined understanding of physical and international security threats. Our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), a physician-scientist with a Ph.D. in Neuroscience, recognized the growing need to bridge the gap between cybersecurity and biosecurity. His collaboration with our Chief Biosafety and Biosecurity Officer (CBBO), a veterinarian and public health scientist, led to the development of innovative consulting solutions for the agricultural industry, academic institutions, and government agencies.
Throughout their academic and professional journeys, our founders maintained close collaboration with our Chief Operating Officer (COO), a legal scholar specializing in national security and health law. Joining this brain trust was our Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), a highly experienced cybersecurity consultant and researcher. His deep understanding of cyber threats and his invaluable experience from his time as a computer scientist with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have prepared him to lead in high-profile cybercrime investigations and security research at companies like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Cisco. His contributions further solidify our team's ability to address the ever-evolving landscape of cyber threats.
Equally instrumental is our Chief Security Officer (CSO), a seasoned professional with over 20 years of experience in Military Special Operations and Security Management. His experience working alongside our CEO while deployed with the U.S. Marine Corps Special Operations Command fostered a deep understanding of our shared commitment to security. This shared commitment is the driving force behind his expertise in leading international anti-terrorism operations, conducting force protection assessments, and implementing enhanced physical security measures, which complements our team's ability to safeguard physical assets from evolving threats.
This synergistic approach lies at the heart of Team 42. We understand that today's security threats are multifaceted and require comprehensive responses. Our combined expertise in cybersecurity, biosafety, biosecurity, and physical security allows us to offer unparalleled consulting services, safeguarding your business, research resources, data, and people.
