About Xatalo Security
At Xatalo Security, we believe small and mid-sized businesses deserve the same level of cybersecurity protection as large enterprises — without the complexity, confusion, or enterprise-level cost.
Cyberattacks don’t target only big companies. In fact, small businesses are hit more often, and the attacks are more damaging. Our mission is to make cybersecurity accessible, affordable, and effective for organizations that need protection the most.
We provide hands-on penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, phishing simulations, endpoint protection guidance, and security awareness training. Every engagement is performed with precision and care, helping you identify risks before attackers exploit them — and giving you clear, actionable steps to strengthen your defenses.
Whether you’re securing your very first website or need a long-term partner to harden your network, Xatalo Security delivers practical solutions that protect what matters most.
About the Founder
My name is David Barajas, and I’ve spent years securing IT environments — from enterprise infrastructures to small business networks. My background in system administration, IT delivery, and security engineering shaped my mission:
to make enterprise-grade cybersecurity practical, affordable, and achievable for every organization.
I hold a Master’s in Cyber Operations and Resilience from Boise State University, where I specialized in penetration testing, risk management, and incident response. I’ve applied these skills across multiple IT roles, helping organizations:
-
Harden networks
-
Strengthen endpoint protections
-
Implement secure configurations
-
Identify risks before attackers exploit them
-
Build long-term security strategies
Through Xatalo Security, I combine hands-on technical experience with a proactive defense mindset — performing vulnerability assessments, full-scope penetration testing, configuration reviews, and ongoing protection strategies for small and mid-sized businesses.
My goal is simple: to help businesses protect what matters most while building confidence in their digital security.
