Adversaries by training. Defenders by mission.
Ghost Ops Security is a veteran-owned, founder-led offensive security firm. Every engagement is run personally by a named, credentialed operator.
Dereck Coleman
Founder & Principal Operator
Dereck spent 14 years in the U.S. Air Force learning a truth that shapes everything Ghost Ops does: you can't defend what you've never attacked. He founded the firm to bring an adversary's discipline to the private sector — the same planning, rigor and decision-making that mission-critical operations demand.
Ghost Ops specializes where risk is moving fastest — AI and LLM systems, ICS/OT environments and full-scope offensive testing. The mission is simple: find your blind spots before an adversary does, and hand you exactly what you need to close them.
Specialist-led
Your test is run by a credentialed operator who does this work — not handed to a junior with a scanner.
Human-attested
Findings you can put in front of auditors and boards, signed by a named, qualified tester.
