Practical Cybersecurity, Built from Experience
Built by people who understand service, trust, and real-world security work
BANDDIT is shaped by technical experience, organizational leadership, and military perspective. The goal is simple: make security easier to understand and easier to act on.
Brian Anderson
Founder, BANDDIT
Brian brings decades of experience helping people and organizations stay safer online, including work as a federally appointed Information Systems Security Officer with DHS. His focus is simple: help people understand where they’re exposed and what to fix — without making it complicated.
Deborah Osborne
National Executive Director, TREA / TREA GIVES
Deborah has more than 12 years of leadership with TREA and TREA GIVES, working directly with veterans and service organizations nationwide. She helps ensure BANDDIT’s programs stay practical, trusted, and aligned with the real needs of the community.
Doug Osborne
Retired U.S. Air Force | IT Background
Doug is a retired Air Force veteran with an IT background. He brings both military and technical perspective to the program, helping keep everything grounded, straightforward, and easy to apply in the real world.
BANDDIT also uses an internal system to keep each assessment organized, consistent, and easy to follow from start to finish.
Most security problems aren't complicated. They happen because basic things get missed — an account setting, an old password, a link that looked real. BANDDIT exists to help people find those gaps and close them, without needing a technical background to understand what's going on.
Already in motion
In partnership with TREA GIVES, BANDDIT is already delivering free one-hour baseline cybersecurity sessions for enlisted veterans and service members. Sessions are remote, follow a simple, consistent process, and end with a plain-English summary of what to do next.
