Harkos was created because the digital world exposed vulnerabilities traditional security often missed. It became clear that VIPs needed more than basic safeguards, they needed a tailored, discreet solution that protects their privacy and legacy. Patrick is not only the CEO & Founder of Harkos Group, but he also the insider threat expert and CISO. He has advanced degrees in cybersecurity and several industry standard certifications.
