Koniag has launched Koniag Cyber, a new division focused on delivering federal-grade cybersecurity to commercial organizations in regulated sectors including healthcare, energy, finance and critical infrastructure.
The division combines decades of federal security experience with commercial solutions to help organizations assess, prevent, detect and respond to advanced cyber threats. The move expands Koniag’s security capabilities as attacks grow more complex, AI-driven and costly, and as regulatory requirements increase.
Brian Gallagher has been named general manager of Koniag Cyber. Gallagher served in the U.S. Secret Service Technical Security Division under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, specializing in emerging technologies and countermeasure threats. He later co-founded CodeLock, where he was CEO and led the company to recognition as a TechCrunch Top 200 startup.
“Koniag Cyber is built on a foundation of trust, performance, and deep technical expertise,” he said. “We’ve spent decades defending our nation’s most critical systems, and now we’re applying that same discipline, rigor, and innovation to help commercial enterprises navigate complex regulatory environments and stay ahead of evolving threats.”
Koniag Cyber will provide services across the cybersecurity lifecycle, including:
-
Assessment: Risk assessments, compliance audits and penetration testing
-
Prevention: Zero Trust design, identity and access management, operational technology hardening and cloud security posture management
-
Detection: 24/7 security operations center support, managed detection and response, endpoint detection and response, and advanced threat hunting
-
Response: Incident response, breach containment, forensic investigation and disaster recovery/business continuity planning
“Koniag has always invested in the long-term success of our clients,” said Allen Debes, CEO of Koniag Capital. “With Koniag Cyber, we are expanding the capabilities we’ve honed for decades in defense of our nation and delivering them directly to commercial enterprises that face equally high stakes. We’re building on proven expertise to meet a rapidly growing market need.”
