About North Star Founder AJ Van Beest
AJ has 10 years of experience with cyber security in government, the corporate world, and with small businesses. He was a founding member of a state-wide cyber response team in the upper midwest; one of the first of its kind in the nation.
AJ also has a lot of fancy titles and letters after his name, like CISSP, GPEN, GWAPT, etc., that come from years of intensive studying in the field, and a decade of practicing what he preaches.
When he’s not “cybering,” you can find AJ hanging out with his family, cooking, playing board games, or doing something fun outside.
About North Star Cyber Security
Small businesses like yours are ignored by most cyber security companies. You’re not big enough to afford $45k for a “consultation,” and even if you had that kind of money available, you probably have more pressing needs for it. Your kids’ college fund, for example.
But while you’re being ignored by the bigger security players, hackers surely are paying attention. They know you don’t have dedicated IT staff, much less security specialists on board. They know you’re easy pickings with a high reward/effort ratio.
We love the spirit of the small business community. We are visioneers and doers. It’s a part of what North Star Cyber is, and we want to protect that community – we want to protect you – from cyber criminals.
