“I spent years running global security & safety technology programs at global organizations and it was maddening. Security was top notch but we had to use infrastructure that was fragmented, slow, and reactive. So I started RAS Consulting to help organizations modernize their security operations—planning, education, risk and liability management. We built technology-forward programs for rapidly growing companies that needed to scale fast.
But even then, I kept seeing the same problem: my operators were drowning in alerts, buried under disconnected systems, reacting to everything and anticipating nothing. RAS Consulting customers needed scalable security, but they didn’t have the knowledge or the people to build it themselves. The pandemic made it worse. Suddenly everyone needed to rethink how they protected people and assets, but they were using tools built for a different era.
That’s why we built HiveWatch. We needed a platform that could make security teams more aware, connected, proactive, and informed. We wanted all of this in addition to being faster and better at managing incidents. AI wasn’t a feature we tacked on later, it was the only practical way to unify data for the best, most informed decisioning. We do it no matter what systems our customers have. So now we can easily cut through false alarms and help teams move from reactive to proactive. Anything else is just making the same old problems slightly prettier.”
