Meet the founder of Cyberneza
Cyberneza LLC is a U.S. veteran-owned cybersecurity and compliance consulting firm based in Orlando, Florida.
Cyberneza LLC is led by Larry Downard, a cybersecurity and risk professional with over 27 years of hands-on experience supporting security, operations, and compliance initiatives across highly regulated and complex environments.
Larry’s background includes work with U.S. Department of Defense programs and large enterprises across energy, finance, and technology, as well as global software and service providers. He has operated at the intersection of infrastructure, security, and business risk for much of his career.
Today, his focus is on helping SaaS companies and growing businesses get the kind of security and compliance support usually reserved for large organizations — without the overhead, complexity, or inflated fees.
