Making Cybersecurity Understandable for Everyone

With 25+ years in IT and a PhD in Cybersecurity, I write books and teach courses that break down complex security concepts into plain English.

Dr. Fred Claus

Expert IT Solutions, Explained Simply

Bridging the gap between technical expertise and everyday understanding

I believe cybersecurity doesn't have to be intimidating. For over 25 years, I've worked in IT, and I've seen firsthand how technology jargon creates barriers that prevent people from protecting themselves and their businesses.

As the founder of Husky Logic in Western New York, I serve small businesses and nonprofits who need enterprise-level security without the enterprise-level complexity. My approach is simple: explain it like you would to a friend, not a CTO.

Beyond consulting, I teach cybersecurity courses at a college level, and I run Cyber Savvy; a free cybersecurity education program for seniors in my community.
