About Kyle Hanslovan
Kyle Hanslovan is the CEO and Co-founder of Huntress, where he spearheads efforts to protect over 150,000 businesses and millions of employees by rethinking threat detection and response at scale. An ethical hacker and malware connoisseur, Kyle isn’t afraid to challenge the status quo to disrupt herd mentality in the cybersecurity industry.
He has successfully raised over $350 million in venture capital and is passionate about entrepreneurship, innovation, radical candor, and social impact. At 17, Kyle enlisted in the U.S. Air Force, aiming to use his hacking skills for good. As a young cyber warfare operator, he worked in Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs), mastering the art of breaking into systems efficiently and covering his digital tracks.
After a decade supporting offensive cyber operations in the U.S. Intelligence Community and Air Force, Kyle transitioned to the private sector. As a ManTech International contractor, he led Computer Network Operations (CNO) development, analysis, and testing to support the National Security Agency (NSA) and later served as the co-founder of StrategicIO, a boutique offensive cybersecurity consulting firm. Recognizing a critical need to protect small businesses and mid-market enterprises from cyber threats, Kyle co-founded Huntress Labs in 2015 alongside John Ferrell and Chris Bisnett.
