About the Firm

Led by a practitioner.
Delivered with precision.

AJ Cyber Defense is led by Anthony Joseph Jr, a cybersecurity professional with hands-on experience spanning security operations, vulnerability management, threat detection, identity management, and governance across enterprise and multi-business-unit environments.

"I still do the work. Not just advisory — actual scanning, scripting, detection engineering, and compliance execution."

What sets the firm apart is operator-level delivery. Most consulting firms hand off implementation to junior staff. Here, the person who scopes the engagement is the person who executes it.

Past engagements include securing 15+ business units on CrowdStrike and Secureworks Taegis XDR, eliminating 100% of critical vulnerabilities through automated remediation, and leading ISO 27001 audit preparation for a newly-public organization.
