Brian Hahn
Founder & Principal Consultant
Brian Hahn is the founder of MTradecraft. His background combines two disciplines most cybersecurity vendors do not have access to: the operational discipline of a Wall Street trading floor and the analytical methodology of corporate intelligence tradecraft.
He spent most of his pre-MTradecraft career at Bridgewater Associates, the world's largest hedge fund, where he managed hedge fund trade desk operations and operational risk for institutional portfolios executing across global markets. That work demanded a specific kind of rigor — the kind that comes from operating systems where a configuration error costs real money in real time, and where the documentation of every process is the audit trail.
Brian's cybersecurity work draws on that same discipline. MTradecraft does not approach compliance as an IT problem with regulatory paperwork bolted on. It approaches compliance as a documentation problem with technical evidence underneath — which is how SEC examiners, cyber insurance underwriters, and institutional investors actually evaluate firms.
He brings an adversarial-thinking framework to assessments — reconnaissance methodology, information asymmetry, attack surface enumeration — that most generic cybersecurity firms do not. The result is a compliance program built around what an adversary could actually exploit, and what a regulator could actually ask for, rather than a checklist of generic controls.
MTradecraft is headquartered in Dallas / McKinney, Texas, and works with clients across the United States.
