Syzygy Systems was founded in 2024 by Nicolas Peterson who serves as both CEO and principal consultant, bringing over a decade of experience in information security, risk management, and cybersecurity strategy. With a Master’s in Cybersecurity and Leadership and CISSP certification, Nicolas combines technical expertise with strategic insight to help organizations protect critical assets, manage risk, and achieve compliance.
He has led enterprise-wide security programs across the public and private sector, developed governance frameworks, designed secure architectures, implemented technical controls, conducted vulnerability assessments, and led incident response operations—experience that directly informs the services Syzygy Systems provides today, from strategy and governance to technical security, offensive and defensive testing, incident response, compliance, and security architecture.
Throughout his career in information security, he has gained hands-on technical experience as a systems administrator, contributed to national cybersecurity policy, and developed an interdisciplinary approach through the incorporation of economics, scientific research, and business leadership to form a holistic approach to security. This combination of technical, operational, and strategic experience allows him to guide organizations through the full cybersecurity lifecycle, turning security into a strategic enabler rather than just a defensive measure.
Nicolas’s leadership ensures every engagement—from discovery and strategy to implementation, monitoring, and reporting—delivers measurable results, strengthens resilience, and supports long-term growth.
