With cyber threats becoming more complex, there has never been a better time for enterprise security teams to leverage advancements in AI and security automation. Recognizing this, two cybersecurity industry veterans have launched a new advisory firm to bring clarity to cyber complexity and help enterprise teams leverage best-in-breed capabilities through purposefully designed security architectures.

Uncommon Cyber, launching today, brings together decades of experience with a forward-thinking approach to cybersecurity architecture, automation and AI. The company is led by Jeremy Frye, who has over 20 years of experience in the cyber industry across a range of technology providers, and Chris Ellett, who has spent the past 17 years working alongside enterprise CISOs as a leader at ReliaQuest, one of the largest and fastest-growing cybersecurity technology companies in the world.

“Over the past two decades, Chris and I have watched the cybersecurity industry shift away from tedious, manual effort via 24/7 security operations centers toward more automation and speed,” Frye said. “We believe the next decade will be even more exciting than the last. Uncommon Cyber will provide clarity to enterprise security teams and help them take advantage of this rapid disruption, helping them design security architectures that can keep up with the pace of innovation.”

“Today’s security leaders are eager to embrace new solutions to securing the exponentially expanding data landscape, and we’re finally at a point where technology has caught up with the vision for what next-generation security operations can be,” Ellett said. “We’re excited to partner with the many talented leaders in the industry so we can get back on our front foot and contain threats faster.”

Brian Murphy, accomplished entrepreneur and founder of ReliaQuest, will serve on Uncommon Cyber’s Advisory Board. Murphy has a longtime history of supporting startups and mentoring founders in Tampa, such as in his role as chair of Embarc Collective, Florida’s leading startup hub.

“Jeremy and Chris have a clear line of sight into what's coming in cybersecurity, which is what’s always made them great advisors for the CISO,” Murphy said. “Cybersecurity is the greatest technical challenge of our generation, and solving it will take all of us in the industry working together. I’m excited for what Uncommon Cyber brings to the table.”
