To make experienced cybersecurity guidance more accessible to growing organizations.
AxiomForVault was founded after years of colleagues, friends, and business professionals seeking Jonathan’s guidance on cybersecurity challenges. As artificial intelligence continues to lower the technical barriers for cybercriminals, organizations of every size face a more complex threat landscape. Risks that once required advanced technical skill can now be accelerated by widely available tools, making it more important than ever for businesses to understand their exposure and strengthen their defenses.
Recognizing that many small and medium-sized organizations do not have easy access to experienced strategic cybersecurity guidance, Jonathan established AxiomForVault to provide independent, vendor-neutral advisory services.
