Contracted through Hytelligence, I specialize in :
MNI's groundbreaking solution- Proteus Cyber Shield powered by SIGA. Proteus Cyber Shield is your defense line in critical infrastructure.
The Proteus Cybershield is a platform designed to enable industrial, commercial, and critical infrastructure operators to dramatically improve their assets' reliability, safety, and cyber security at minimal cost and without disruption to existing Industrial Control Systems. The platform proactively identifies and mitigates Cyber attacks by using innovative AI (Artificial Intelligence) technology that monitors electrical signals between the asset and the Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) at the lowest, basic, physical level (Level 0). These electric signals at the source are analyzed before being filtered during conversion to a network data stream by the PLC, which enables the discovery of anomalies that may otherwise go undetected.
With me, you're not just getting a sales consultant; you're gaining a partner committed to helping you safeguard your most critical systems from cyber threats.

Sr. Director of Cybersecurity Sales
As a Fractional Sales, Cybersecurity, and Business Development Consultant for HYAS, I play a pivotal role in empowering federal and public sector organizations to fortify their cyber defenses using protective DNS technology, HYAS Protect, and Threat Intelligence and Investigative Platform, HYAS Insight.
HYAS Insight is an advanced threat intelligence and investigation platform that gives organizations the ability to identify, track, and attribute fraud and attacks faster and more efficiently.
By analyzing data aggregated from leading private and commercial sources around the world, HYAS is able to identify suspicious infrastructure likely to be used in attacks — sometimes months before it is even activated. Get unprecedented visibility into the origins of attacks, the campaign infrastructure being used, and the architecture likely to be used against you in the future.
HYAS Protect is Built on the underpinning technology of HYAS Insight threat intelligence, HYAS Protect is a protective DNS solution that combines authoritative knowledge of attacker infrastructure and unrivaled domain-based intelligence to proactively enforce security and block the command and control (C2) communication used by malware, ransomware, phishing, and other forms of cyber attacks.
Even if an attack has bypassed a network’s perimeter defenses - and regardless of how the breach occurred, it still must “beacon out” for instructions – for lateral motion, privilege escalation, data exfiltration, and even encryption. And they need to beacon out to infrastructure, commonly called command-and-control (C2), that, by definition, must be created and established before launching the attack. HYAS detects and blocks the beaconing requests typical of malicious command and control communication, letting users cut off these attacks before they cause harm, whether in an IT or OT environment.
