Our Origin Story
This is How Prometheus Came To Guard Businesses Like Yours
Long ago, according to Greek mythology, Prometheus defied the gods by stealing fire from them and gifting it to humanity. At Prometheus Cybersecurity, we use more than just the name. We took enterprise-grade cybersecurity and delivered it to businesses that need it most, small and midsize business owners. Because if you wait until there’s an incident, chances are that you won’t have a business to protect afterwards.
It all started with our Founder, John Gibson. Tech savvy, theatre student, and storyteller at heart. John’s journey began with a Bachelor’s in Computer Science and a Theatre minor at Indiana University. From there, he spent years working with Fortune 500 names (Veritas, Symantec, Comcast, IBM, CenturyLink, Dell / EMC) in storage virtualization and data replication.
In 2019, he got certified (CISSP) and began teaching cybersecurity. He was poised to launch a “side‐hustle.” In 2020, he taught his first 24‐week course over Zoom, and the course material exposed him to open‐source elements of cybersecurity that ignited a vision: What if enterprise‐class security didn’t have to carry hefty prices?
From that moment, Prometheus was born and eventually expanded.
Today, Prometheus Cybersecurity provides expertise in Cybersecurity Education, Solutions, and Consulting Services.
