About Dustin Emerson

Most people hear the word Liberty and think freedom.For me, Liberty was my hometown in Kentucky — and for a long time, it felt like where my story would end.I\'ve slept in an 8x8 storage shed. I\'ve buried both parents and five other family members in less than a year. I\'ve rebuilt from zero, in cities where no one knew my name.And I built something anyway.Today I\'m the CEO & Founder of SteadITech — a cybersecurity company with one mission: to stand between small businesses and chaos. I know what it feels like to be unprotected and have no one to call. That\'s exactly why I built a company that shows up and says:\"Don\'t worry, I\'ve got you.\"From Network Engineer — serving companies like Hyundai Capital, Optum Healthcare, and EA Games — to international award-winning speaker, MIT speaker, and Amazon author of Steady in the Storm, this journey has never been about IT. It\'s been about protection, resilience, and showing up for people when it matters most. If a cyberattack hit your business tonight — would you survive it?
