Tanenbaum's Team
While Mitch Tanenbaum is undoubtedly a unique and remarkable technical resource, people like him are made possible by other people who recognize their talents and then believe in them and support them.
Mitch is fortunate to have the solid and unwavering support of many professionals who are committed to leveraging his talents to help companies and organizations reduce cyber and other risks.
First amongst Mitch's supporters is his partner Ray Hutchins, the Managing Member of their various endeavors. Mitch and Ray bonded seven years ago and it is their rock-solid relationship that facilitates your opportunity today to make Mitch your partner and ally. Mitch and Ray are equal partners in all they do and, while Ray does not have the technical education and chops that Mitch has, Ray has been directly mentored by Mitch for seven years, so that this unique training has turned Ray into one of the most technically informed business professionals in the country. Add to that, Ray's own strategic visions, his business process and organizational discipline--and between the two of them--you basically have Cybersecurity Superman.
This unique relationship may best be exemplified by Ray's and Mitch's (thus far failed) efforts to convince the Department of Defense that its current 800-171/CMMC 2.0 program to protect the United States defense industrial base will fail unless major changes are implemented.

It is notable that even though the above information has been presented to multiple leaders in the DoD (up to and including the office of the Deputy Secretary of Defense for Acquisition & Sustainment), not one of our core assumptions has been challenged or rejected.
A team requires more than two people. Over the years, Mitch and Ray have identified and vetted a top-tier, seasoned, U.S.-based IT and cybersecurity technical and professional team. This team is comprised of folks specializing in technical testing, forensics, technical tools, attorneys, insurance specialists, trainers, technical editors, and others. Together, they represent the full gamut of support an effective expert witness requires. This is the team you acquire when you engage Mitch.
Mitch's team has hundreds of years of experience and the following are amongst the certifications they hold:
