Top SchoolFred Joseph is a Cybersecurity & IT Consultant with over 17 years of hands-on IT experience and eight years focused on delivering practical security solutions for small businesses and organizations. He combines server management, VPN deployment, penetration testing, and secure Python/Django development to harden infrastructure against real-world threats.
