Christopher Mckeithen

Founder and Combat Veteran Teaching Companies to See Their Own Blind Spots.

Spent 7 years serving in the U.S. Army, including a combat deployment to Iraq. When I came home, I brought with me the same discipline, mission focus, and zero-tolerance for blind spots that kept people alive downrange and after years of figuring things out and reintegrating back to civilian life I chose to apply it to cybersecurity. What I found when I entered the security world surprised me. Most small and mid-sized businesses are completely exposed and have no idea. Not because they don't care but because nobody has ever shown them what their external attack surface actually looks like. They think they have a vulnerability problem. They actually have a visibility problem. They have come accustomed to being reactive instead of proactive. That gap is why I built Aegis Cyber Defense. I founded the company in 2026 as a Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business, and I built the platform from scratch while attending cybersecurity school full time and raising a newborn at home. Aegis gives IT Directors and Security Managers at companies with no dedicated security team the same exposure intelligence that enterprise organizations pay hundreds of thousands of dollars for. I'm not a vendor. I'm a practitioner and a founder who has lived the mission. I talk about security the way real IT professionals think about it without the jargon, without the fear mongering, and without pretending this stuff is harder than it needs to be. What I bring to your audience: a combat veteran's perspective on risk and resilience, a founder's honest account of building a cybersecurity company from zero, and a contrarian take on why most security advice misses the real problem entirely.
