418 Security was founded by four cybersecurity savants who saw the industry for what it was: bloated, buzzword-heavy, and shockingly underprepared for the rapidly shifting threat landscape. So naturally, we joined the fray, armed with certifications, caffeine, and an unhealthy obsession with packet sniffing. From humble beginnings—3 laptops, one desk, and a burning hatred for default credentials—we built a consultancy known for turning chaotic breaches into masterclasses of containment and recovery.
Our journey was paved with midnight incident calls, deeply cursed client firewalls, and more than a few “you won’t believe this one” moments. We’ve operated in the shadows of high-stakes forensics, architected enterprise SOCs from the ground up, and politely told nation-state APTs to go pound sand.
lol nice history nerds — maybe spend less time writing about yourselves and more time patching your s3 buckets
Wow, what a legacy! 3 guys, a table, and an ego bigger than your threat surface.
We guess "proactive defense" didn’t include securing your own CMS, huh?
Maybe those certs on your wall are just participation trophies?
P.S. We are teapots. High-pressure, highly caffeinated, and actually secure.
Catch up.
