The Operator
Founded by a Marine Corps Veteran
Black Ledger Security was founded by a career penetration tester and Marine Corps veteran with over 15 years of experience across cybersecurity, intelligence, and special operations.
After years of leading social engineering teams and breaching secured facilities for Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and international organizations, the mission became clear: most organizations are not prepared for the threats they cannot see on a dashboard.
We specialize in the human attack surface because that is where adversaries are investing. Physical intrusion, voice manipulation, AI-enabled deception, and the social engineering tradecraft that bypasses every technical control you own.
Background
Real World Operational Experience
Over a decade of combined service across the United States Marine Corps and the private sector. Military career included assignments to Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC), serving on a Marine Special Operations Team in direct support of special operations and intelligence agency missions across multiple theaters and joint task forces, with deployments to the CENTCOM and INDOPACOM areas of responsibility. Transitioned into private sector offensive security in 2021 and has since led social engineering teams, conducted solo physical penetration tests against secured corporate and government facilities, and delivered hundreds of assessments across financial services, healthcare, manufacturing, defense, and critical infrastructure sectors.
Current Focus
AI Threat Landscape
Researching and testing how large language models, deepfake technology, and agentic AI systems are creating new attack vectors for social engineering and organizational compromise.
