Hex Tactical Industries is a one-operator security shop — penetration testing, red team, hunt operations, and vulnerability assessment for small businesses, with sixteen years of Air Force IT and cyber operations behind it. There's a hardware bench running in the background too, but the engagements come first.

// THE DOCTRINE

Most security work gets sold as a scan and a PDF. We do it the other way: hands on keyboard, findings chained the way a real intruder would chain them, and a fix list your people can actually work.

Today that means offensive security engagements for small businesses — penetration testing, red team, hunt operations, and vulnerability assessment.

Hardware is still the long game. We're hackers, so open and hackable is table stakes — what most gear isn't is wearable. That work is on the bench, not the storefront, and things still [REDACTED] ship when they're real, not before.

FOUNDER · AKA “HEX”

Adept with computers from a young age, I grew up building and tinkering with them. After high school I enlisted in the United States Air Force rather than go to college. After a long and not-so-storied career in Military IT and Cyber Operations, I left the service determined to do one thing: never work for a large corporate entity again if I could help it.

In my opinion, the “Rule of Cool” is a factor that's often laughed at and underplayed. But belief defines reality — and if I can hack computers while looking like I'm out of an ’80s cyberpunk novel, then I'm winning. That's what we aim for at HexTac: cool, stylish, and highly skilled in our tradecraft.
