In this episode, we dive deep into the world of cybersecurity with Dontae Tyler, founder of OQP Solutions. With over nine years in the industry, Dontae shares his unique journey from an unconventional start in tech to becoming a cybersecurity expert and business owner. He discusses how his focus on practical, accessible training���what he calls cyber readiness rather than mere awareness���helps clients prepare for real-world digital threats. Dontae explains why cybersecurity is a collective responsibility, advocating that it impacts everyone, from individual users to global corporations.
Dontae�۪s story is one of resilience and purpose. Despite facing early challenges in school and lacking a clear path, he found his footing in cybersecurity thanks to his cousin�۪s guidance and mentorship. After earning a Security+ certification, a government contracting opportunity launched him into the industry. From his first $60,000 consulting contract to running a successful consulting firm, Dontae shares insights on creating a sustainable, values-driven business. His company�۪s focus on security readiness training helps businesses establish a secure digital environment and minimize their vulnerabilities, which he discusses as an essential goal for every organization.
In the conversation, Dontae emphasizes the importance of a strong foundation for personal growth and business leadership. He recalls hitting a ceiling as a solopreneur and describes how he shifted from working in his business to working on it, a process that led him to adopt strategic leadership. Dontae also credits mentorship programs and business resources like the Capital One cohort for minority business owners, which helped him understand critical components of growth, like financial literacy and customer acquisition.
Additionally, Dontae shares the importance of community-building and his approach to relationship-based marketing. While OQP Solutions is rooted in cybersecurity consulting, Dontae is expanding his reach through global speaking engagements and cyber hygiene clinics. Recent engagements include talks at cybersecurity conferences in Puerto Rico, Thailand, and an upcoming event in Australia. He discusses his commitment to improving the cybersecurity landscape and developing tools aimed at ethical and impactful technology solutions, such as reducing global price gouging through transparent tech innovations.
As Dontae and Devon discuss, a core mission of OQP Solutions is empowering clients by meeting their security needs authentically and effectively. He reveals future plans for the company, including building a nonprofit to provide unbiased cybersecurity statistics and expanding his cybersecurity solutions globally. For Dontae, cybersecurity isn�۪t just a business; it�۪s about contributing positively to the tech ecosystem and creating a safer digital future for all.
