Our Expertise
HC Computer Security Services was founded to bridge the gap between large-scale enterprise security operations and the needs of small-to-medium businesses. When a network is breached or critical data is locked, standard IT support is often unequipped to handle the complex technical realities of a cyber event.
Lead Analyst Background
Our operations are directed by a Lead Incident Response Analyst with extensive experience securing critical infrastructure. Before founding this firm, our lead analyst managed threat mitigation for a major national healthcare network, actively monitoring and defending an environment consisting of over 40,000 endpoint devices.
Beyond automated monitoring, we specialize in delivering comprehensive post-incident analysis reports for internal corporate reviews. By strictly adhering to GIAC GCFA and GCFE methodologies, we ensure that extracted data and breach timelines hold up under intense formal scrutiny.
Our approach is technical and transparent: while full recovery is never a guarantee in data recovery, we apply exhaustive, sector-level rigor to every project to give you the best possible outcome.
Academic Pedigree & Formal Education
Advanced incident response and data recovery requires a deep, fundamental understanding of computer science and network architecture. Our analytical frameworks are built on a rigorous academic foundation:
- Master of Science in Cybersecurity Science – University of Texas at San Antonio
- Bachelor of Science in Computer Science (Cyber Operations) – University of Texas at San Antonio
- Graduate Certificate in Incident Response – SANS Technology Institute
Offensive Knowledge for Better Defense
To effectively defend a network, you must understand how attackers dismantle it. Serving as a contracted Security Researcher for the Synack Red Team, our lead analyst has performed deep-dive vulnerability assessments, black-box penetration testing, and web application assessments using the OWASP Top 10 framework. By thinking like the adversary, we isolate malware faster and harden your workstations against future intrusions.
Industry Certifications
We do not rely on guesswork. Our methodologies are backed by the most rigorous, globally recognized certifications in incident response, offensive security, and cloud architecture:
