I’m G. Stalin Babu — a Cisco CCIE Security professional, one of the industry’s most respected and advanced network security certifications. For more than 30 years, I have designed, implemented, and supported large-scale network and security environments for major organizations including AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, Costco, Wells Fargo, MGM, Molina Healthcare, BJC, AAA, and others.
Today, I live in New York City and work with small and midsize businesses that need experienced guidance on network architecture, cybersecurity, compliance, and ongoing operational improvement.
My goal is simple: bring enterprise-grade network and security expertise to growing businesses in an affordable, practical, and business-friendly way.
It was a great experience collaborating with Stalin at Cisco for the Wells Fargo project. He is a brilliant network and security consultant who consistently delivers results on massive enterprise initiatives, such as the Wells Fargo VXLAN data center deployment project. He navigates complex technical requirements with ease to build robust solutions. Any team would be lucky to have his expertise, vision, and reliability.
Stalin worked with Cisco Professional Services supporting critical infrastructure projects for our large Enterprise clients including Exelon, Constellation, MGM, and Wells Fargo. He consistently demonstrated the technical depth and professional rigor expected of Cisco’s internal standards.

My sweet spot is small and mid-size businesses with roughly 10 to 499 employees — large enough to have real network and security needs, but too small to justify a full-time senior architect or dedicated CISO. Common industries include financial services, law firms, healthcare, SaaS, and professional services.
The free 87-point security assessment typically kicks off within one week of our first call and delivers a written report within 5 business days. Ongoing engagements usually start within 2–3 weeks, depending on scope and your team’s availability.
Most clients start with the free 87-point security assessment. Based on the findings, we agree on a scope — typically one of: a defined project (firewall migration, network redesign, compliance readiness), a monthly retainer for ongoing advisory and oversight, or a hybrid of both. Every engagement starts with written scope and pricing before any work begins.
