Cyber Security

20 Years. The Credentials That Change the Conversation.

The vCISO Behind Red Diamond.

Horace Christopher Ward III is a cybersecurity executive with over two decades of applied experience inside the organizations that define modern security standards.

He has held advisory and governance roles across the FBI, Defense Logistics Agency, United States Navy, and DISA — federal agencies that operate at the highest security classifications in the world.Before founding Red Diamond Consultants, he built and managed cybersecurity programs inside Capital One, Bank of America, PNC Bank, and State Farm — financial institutions where a single control failure exposes millions of customers and generates billions in liability. He has operated inside Boeing and Cyberspace Solutions in the defense and aerospace sector.

Today, Horace brings that experience to small and mid-size organizations that face the same threats — but have never had access to the same leadership. Red Diamond closes that gap.
