Maximum Effort is led by Aaron "Maximum" Maben, a CISSP-certified security leader and former Green Beret with over 15 years of information security, IT, and operational experience.
The Special Forces mission has shaped how we operate: Green Berets are trained to build capability where it doesn't exist, unite diverse teams behind a common objective, and create disproportionate impact with limited resources. This force multiplier mindset shows up in how we advise and lead by:
Combined with real-world experience in governance, incident response, distributed networks, and wireless communications, this background gives us the ability to help organizations establish and scale resilient, mission-driven security programs.
Companies at the outset of their security journey and needing clear guidance on where they stand, what to prioritize, and how to execute while navigating risk and minimizing complexity.
Businesses carrying risk, technical debt, or audit pressure and ready to break out of reactive security by building structure, aligning leadership, and improving readiness to operate with confidence.
Organizations that already treat security as a force multiplier and seeking executive-level partnership to refine governance, strengthen resilience, and stay ahead of operational and regulatory demands.
