Security Should Empower, Not Obstruct

A Quick Introduction

Hello, my name is Tyson Martin. I’m a cybersecurity leader with over 25 years of experience aligning technology and security strategies with organizational goals. I’ve led security and digital transformations at global enterprises like AWS (and its customers), Orvis, The Home Depot, and Lumber Liquidators and helped organizations turn security from a constraint into a catalyst for growth.

Over the past two decades, I’ve guided international teams (in the Americas, Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East) through complex, high-value change. I specialize in building trust across global organizations, embedding security into culture and design, and helping leadership navigate risk with clarity and confidence. My approach centers on making security a strategic advantage—one that protects what matters most, reflects your company’s values, and supports innovation at scale.

I bring deep expertise in risk management, incident response, and compliance (including NIST, ISO 27001 & 420001, and GDPR), combined with a passion for ethical leadership and privacy protection. If you’re looking for someone who can translate complexity into clarity (and security into lasting trust) I’d welcome a conversation.

"Tyson is the kind of security leader every business hopes for—deeply strategic, quietly influential, and relentlessly values-driven. He understands how to embed security into the fabric of a company without disrupting momentum, building cultures of trust, resilience, and accountability across every team he touches. Tyson was a force-multiplier for our engineering team. He didn’t just audit or advise, he embedded security into how we built, collaborated, and shipped. We delivered faster, with fewer issues, and greater confidence across the board."

VP of IT - Breakthru Beverage Group

"Tyson brings the full package: deep technical expertise, functional clarity, and the leadership presence to rally teams when it matters most. He’s one of the few security leaders I’ve worked with who truly understands how to design, deploy, and operationalize SIEM solutions that generate real business insight, not just noise. When incidents arise, Tyson leads with calm urgency, aligning stakeholders, containing threats, and preserving trust. His ability to connect the dots between architecture, governance, and response makes him a standout in the field."

"I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with Tyson across borders and time zones, especially in Europe, where navigating security, privacy, and cultural nuance requires more than just technical skill, it demands trust, adaptability, and precision. Tyson brought all three. Whether we were aligning on cloud security in the EU or advising teams across North America and Scandinavia, he consistently bridged the gap between compliance and engineering, strategy and execution. He’s fluent in the global language of security, and just as comfortable advising regulators as he is building alignment with technical teams. If you’re looking for a leader who can operate confidently on the international stage and still stay grounded in what matters most—Tyson’s your guy.
