About ThreatTape
Cybersecurity with attitude. Security without the sugar-coating.
Who is Kevin Stallard?
Kevin Stallard is a cybersecurity veteran with nearly 40 years of experience securing everything from Fortune 50 companies to federal agencies. He's led security architecture for billion-dollar gaming franchises like Call of Duty and Overwatch, built threat hunting programs for U.S. Bank, and managed digital containment during the Ebola outbreak.
Certified in CISSP, CISM, and Blockchain technologies, Kevin doesn't believe in snake oil solutions. He builds real security—zero trust architectures, comprehensive code reviews, incident response, and compliance strategies that work in the real world.
Kevin has consulted with the CDC, CIA, and helped manage cybersecurity for Dragon Con for two decades. If it plugs in and can be compromised, he's probably defended against it.
Who is Uncle Grimmy?
Uncle Grimmy is Kevin's alter ego—the battle-scarred voice of every Gen X cybersecurity professional who's spent decades watching companies make the same preventable mistakes. He's the coffee-stained reality check in a world of buzzword-laden vendor pitches.
Where Kevin brings credentials and structured methodology, Grimmy brings brutal honesty, practical wisdom, and a well-earned cynicism about "revolutionary" security solutions that are just old problems in new packaging.
You don't hire Uncle Grimmy because your security posture is perfect. You hire him because it isn't—and you're finally ready to hear the truth about why.
The ThreatTape Philosophy
"Security isn't about perfection. It's about not being the slowest gazelle in the herd. We don't peddle silver bullets. We give you the blunt truth and the battle plan."
ThreatTape was born from the recognition that most cybersecurity advice is either too academic to implement or too vendor-driven to trust. We provide:
- Honest assessments without the sales pitch
- Practical solutions that work with real budgets
- Experience-based guidance from someone who's been in the trenches
- No-BS communication that cuts through the noise
