    THE REALITY

    43% of cyberattacks
    target small businesses.

    The average breach costs $200,000. Most small businesses never recover. A proactive security plan costs a fraction of that — and keeps you in business.

    WHY CACTI SECURITY

    Built on Honesty.
    Focused on Results.

    I started Cacti Security because small businesses deserve real security consulting — not overpriced retainers, not checkbox compliance, not a report that collects dust. I bring a hands-on, practical approach to every engagement.

    I'm a cybersecurity student at UCCS with real-world experience in IT infrastructure, competitive security programs, and hands-on lab environments. Every project I take on makes me better — and makes you safer.
