About HardEdge Security
Evidence-based cybersecurity guidance for homes and families
Our Mission
HardEdge Security exists to bridge the gap between enterprise-grade cybersecurity knowledge and everyday households. We believe every family deserves access to clear, honest guidance about protecting their digital lives—without the fear-mongering or upselling that plagues the security industry.
Our Approach
We don't sell fear. We provide education.
Our recommendations come directly from authoritative sources: the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), and Federal Trade Commission (FTC). We translate their guidance into plain language that anyone can understand and act on.
We're transparent about what works, what doesn't, and what's simply marketing hype. When a free solution is just as effective as a paid one, we'll tell you. When a paid service genuinely provides value for your situation, we'll explain why.
Who We Help
Our focus is home consumers and families—the people typically underserved by the cybersecurity industry. Traditional security companies target large enterprises with big budgets. We believe the family managing their kids' devices, the retiree navigating online banking, and the remote worker handling sensitive data from home all deserve expert guidance tailored to their actual needs.
Families

Retirees
