Retired U.S. Army General Paul M. Nakasone, former director of the National Security Agency and commander of U.S. Cyber Command, has launched a boutique national security advisory firm.
The newly-formed Nakasone Group will counsel government leaders, corporations, prominent families, and other private clients confronting cybersecurity, geopolitical, and personal security risks.
“After more than three decades in uniform — including leading U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency — I’ve seen how quickly the threats facing individuals, families, and organizations are evolving,” Nakasone said when announcing the firm on LinkedIn. “We built this firm to bring the caliber of security counsel once reserved for the highest levels of government to those navigating today’s most complex challenges — quietly, discreetly, and to the highest standard,” he added.
Nakasone serves as founder and chairman of the firm, while former Defense Digital Service director Brett Goldstein is its chief executive.
The company’s services include private cyber defense, family digital security, protection against fraud and impersonation, international travel security, geopolitical and threat intelligence, and tailored briefings for executives.
