Security is a process, not a product.
Our Story
Ice Station Zebra was established in 2022 with the intention of bringing high quality & cost effective services to the security industry.
Our company name comes from the book, and later movie adaptation, of the same name by Alistair MacLean. The movie is focused on Cold War era intrigue and suspense, but at its core, it is a movie about security, social engineering and intellectual property. Throughout the book and movie the focus remains on solving the mysteries presented and the best ways to solve these problems.
That’s the heart of the ISZ philosophy. Solving tough problems through a pragmatic approach. If that’s what you’re looking for, you’re in the right place!
“All courses of action are risky, so prudence is not in avoiding danger (it’s impossible), but calculating risk and acting decisively. Make mistakes of ambition and not mistakes of sloth. Develop the strength to do bold things, not the strength to suffer.”
— Niccolo Machiavelli
“As we’ve come to realize, the idea that security starts and ends with the purchase of a prepackaged firewall is simply misguided.”
– Art Wittmann

FAQ's
How big is your team?
The easy answer- as big as it needs to be. We keep a number of vetted partners on standby to expand as needed. These vetted partners are located around the globe and meet (or exceed) all of the standards that we hold ourselves to and would expect.
Why did you start your company now?
Like many others, Covid-19 caused a lot of reflection and soul searching. I’ve always looked at others with their own companies and thought -someday. Well, that day is now.
What certifications do you have?
My LinkedIn profile has a full listing of my bona fides; if you have any particular questions, I am happy to discuss at any time. I’ve always believed that education is the cornerstone of advancement. I truly enjoy reading and then looking at the adjacencies and similarities that may not be readily apparent.
