The founder

From Green Beret to Cyber Guardian

Jeremy Miller served in U.S. Army Special Forces, where the doctrine wasn't "do it for them" — it was by, with, and through: train local forces, fight alongside them, and leave capability behind. After two decades building and running software companies, he founded Lionfish to bring that same philosophy to cybersecurity.

Jeremy is the founding president of AFCEA's Indiana chapter, was named Tech Exec of the Year by the Indianapolis Business Journal, and leads a team that has published four IEEE papers on AI and cybersecurity while filing a patent on AI-driven training methodology.

Through compliance, partnership, education, and unwavering commitment, we Lead the way in strengthening digital defenses.

Milestones

The journey so far

2026

Cyber Tackle Box™ — totally rebuilt for the Phase 2 era

A ground-up upgrade of the Cyber Tackle Box ships just as the defense industrial base needs it most. The platform that pioneered combining GRC and workforce training in one system emerges faster and sharper — built to work with clients faster and more efficiently, with new Templates, Objectives, POA&M management, the Intel Hub, Playbooks, and much more. Every workflow refined by what we've learned getting contractors assessment-ready. See the new Tackle Box.
