BLACK ARROWS

Black Arrows was founded on a simple premise: most modern cybersecurity programs are overcomplicated, inefficient, and focused on the wrong priorities. We exist to change that.

We believe that effective security doesn't require elaborate frameworks, extensive checkboxes, or layers upon layers of controls. It requires clear thinking, practical implementation, and an unwavering focus on what actually works: the fundamentals of security.

Why We're Different

We don't sell frameworks. We don't implement tools just because they're popular. We don't create security programs that look impressive but fail under pressure. Instead, we strip away everything that doesn't serve genuine protection and build security that works.

We have one guiding principle: If it does not serve a purpose, it's an attack surface.

Our approach is rooted in Security Brutalism, a philosophy that values function over form, simplicity over complexity, and effectiveness over appearance. We help organizations build security capabilities that are honest about what they protect, efficient in how they operate, and resilient when challenged.

Our team is made up of former security executives and senior professionals, with deep experience in building security programs, crafting specialized training, and leading high-performance teams to success.

Our Founder

Our founder is a veteran CISO who brings decades of experience in security, having witnessed the industry's evolution from practical protection to compliance-driven theater. Frustrated by the gap between what organizations need and what they're sold, he founded Black Arrows and the Security Brutalism approach to offer an alternative.

With a background spanning technical security implementation, strategic program development, and organizational leadership, our founder has seen what works and what fails across industries and threat landscapes. This experience informs every engagement, ensuring recommendations are grounded in reality rather than theory.

The philosophy that drives our work is simple: security should protect, not perform. It should be invisible when it works and decisive when it acts. It should respect organizational resources and deliver genuine value. This approach guides everything we do.
