So, what’s in a name?
RipRap Security is named after a type of shoreline protection used to prevent erosion from water.
We think this is the perfect analogy for cyber security. Without the right protection, organizations face erosion of reputation, operations, and success—both short- and long-term. Our mission is to help you stay strong, steady, and secure against the constant ebb and flow of threats in today’s digital world.
At RipRap, we don’t rely on scare tactics or hard sales. Instead, we pride ourselves on being a dependable, human-first partner, offering a variety of cyber security capabilities tailored to your unique needs. Whether you’re a nonprofit, B-Corp, or small business, we’re here to keep you protected so you can focus on what you do best.
Meet Our Leadership Team
With a combined 25+ years of cyber security experience, Garrett and Steve have defended large government agencies and Fortune 500 companies across aviation, defense, tech, automotive, manufacturing, media, and financial services. Along the way, they’ve refined their skills in identifying and remediating both known and unknown vulnerabilities—earning multiple top-tier security certifications and discovering various CVEs (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures) in the process.
So, why did they start RipRap Security? Because they believe every organization—especially those with a strong social or environmental mission—deserves access to world-class security. Working with nonprofits, B-Corps, and small organizations means seeing tangible impact, whether it’s a grantee protecting donor data or a sustainability-focused company safeguarding vital research.
“We recognize that cyber security is always evolving, can be overwhelming, and is often underprioritized when resources are tight. Our passion is helping you navigate these challenges with honesty, empathy, and a clear plan of action.” - Steve Sharer, CEO
