Security is a Virtue.
Virtus Cybersecurity · Ohio
Our mission is to make serious security work available to businesses of every size, not only the ones with a security department of their own. We test your systems the way an attacker would, respond when something goes wrong, and explain what we find in terms your team can act on.
Breaches rarely come down to technology alone. A phished password, an unreviewed firewall change or an alert nobody owned can matter as much as an unpatched server, so we look at the people and processes around your systems too.
Bogdan leads the security work. Tatyana runs operations and finance, and Emily runs marketing.
Founder & CEO
A cybersecurity expert with more than 15 years of experience. Bogdan works across incident response, penetration testing, and security architecture design, collaborating with Fortune 500 corporations, government agencies, and innovative startups.
Passionate about teaching and sharing knowledge, he believes the best way to protect organizations is to educate them about the threats they face.
Operations & Finance
Every security firm has a perimeter nobody talks about — its own back office. Tatyana runs ours. She keeps the operational and financial side of Virtus moving with the same discipline our engineers bring to an engagement: every process tightened, every number verified twice.
If Bogdan's job is finding the gaps in other people's systems, Tatyana's is making sure there are none in ours. Around here we call it zero-trust bookkeeping — nothing clears without her sign-off.
Marketing Director
Emily brings strategic marketing expertise and a passion for communicating complex cybersecurity concepts in accessible ways. She leads brand strategy, client engagement, and market positioning for Virtus.
With a keen eye for design and messaging, she ensures that Virtus's mission to protect organizations resonates with businesses of all sizes.
Four principles that shape how we scope, test and report.
We test by hand where it matters, document what we find in plain language, and retest to confirm your fixes held.
We set scope with your team before work starts and walk through findings with the people who have to fix them.
Attack techniques change every year. We follow threat intelligence and new research and bring it into how we test.
We report what we actually found, including the uncomfortable parts, and we stay inside the scope you approved.
The three areas our consulting work draws on most.
Detection, incident response and continuous monitoring: spotting an intrusion, containing it and watching for the next one.
Designing security controls that line up with the frameworks you are measured against, such as NIST, SOC 2, ISO 27001 and HIPAA.
Working out where you are exposed, ranking each risk by likelihood and impact, and turning that into a remediation plan you can budget for.
When a project needs more hands or a specialist skill, we bring in consultants and providers we already know, so the scope of the work is not limited to the size of our own team.
Working relationships with the security and cloud vendors whose endpoint, monitoring and training platforms our services run on.
A network of independent specialists we bring in when an engagement needs a skill or an industry background outside our core team.
We take part in cybersecurity research and threat intelligence sharing, and bring what we learn back into client work.
Our team holds professional certifications including CISSP, OSCP and CEH, along with other security credentials.
We have worked with small and mid-sized businesses, Fortune 500 companies and government institutions on security projects and consulting.
