Meet the Team

Behind every great cybersecurity solution is a team of dedicated people (don't forget the dogs) who make it all work. At Systems Secure, we blend deep technical expertise with personal, human-focused service. Our small, close-knit team is the foundation of everything we offer—passionate about protecting businesses and proud to stand by our clients as trusted partners.

We may be a small team, but we punch well above our weight. Our size allows us to stay agile, responsive, and genuinely connected to every client we work with. No red tape, no hand-offs—just direct access to the people who know your systems and care about your security.

At Systems Secure, we believe cybersecurity is about more than firewalls and software. It's about people—those we protect, and the team that makes it possible.

Head of Perimeter Surveillance

—vigilantly monitoring the front window for suspicious activity, rogue delivery drivers, and unapproved squirrels.

When she’s not pacing the office in full alert mode, she’s keeping morale high with strategic lean-ins, soulful eyes, and occasional zoomies across the rug.

Fern believes every business deserves to feel safe, seen, and maybe even sniffed (just once). She’s fiercely loyal, always listening, and entirely powered by chicken treats.

Her primary responsibilities include:

Barking before the doorbell rings (proactive threat detection)

Making sure the "hoomans" take breaks (mandatory walk protocol)

Acting as a living, breathing reminder that cybersecurity is serious—but we’re human first

Her motto?

"If in doubt, nap it out."

Her daily duties include:
