About Us

Missing Link Security is a Veteran-Owned Small Business. We have been serving government and commercial clients since 1995. Our legacy is based upon Executive Order 13010 which established the Presidential Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection. That commission produced “a comprehensive national policy and implementation strategy for protecting critical infrastructures from physical and cyber threats and assuring their continued operation.”

 

We remain focused on one thing – the security of critical assets. Whether those assets are your home, your business, your local school, a public utility an information system or our country, our mission remains the same.

 

Our Values

Our corporate values are the foundation of our company. These describe the people that are Missing Link Security.

 

Uncompromising Personal Integrity – We believe in a no-compromise approach to security, and it begins with the integrity of the individual. Each individual at Missing Link Security is held to a high standard of personal integrity. We are accountable for our actions. Our word is our bond. Our clients can count on us.

 

Passion for Excellence – We don’t accept mediocrity. In security, mediocre is failure. Simply meeting the minimum standards is unacceptable. We have a passion to provide the best service for our clients. We strive for creative innovation. Yesterday’s solutions do not always apply today. Our clients depend on us. We are not satisfied until we have exceeded our client’s expectations.

 

Heart to Serve – We believe that service is at the core of what we do. Many of us served our country in the military or in civil service and we continue in that desire to serve. We respect each other. We work as a team. We build each other up and support each other. When we serve each other, each of us is stronger. We serve our communities with pride.

 

Our team includes experts in system vulnerability, security awareness, certification, security operations, forensics, and testing. Over 50% of our team have Top Secret clearances. Many have certifications that keep them up to date with the latest security credentials.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dave Abdo started Missing Link Communications in 1993 as a sole proprietorship after retiring from a career in the US Air Force. Having an extensive background in secure communications, his desire, at that time, was to provide communications services to commercial and government clients. In 1995, he incorporated and Missing Link Communications, Inc was born.

 

Dave found that his clients were seeking assistance in all matters of security. After President Clinton signed Executive Order 13010 in 1997 to establish a Commission on Critical Infrastructure Protection, Dave decided to focus the company’s efforts on security and changed the name to Missing Link Security. Missing Link Communications remains the official business name, but all of our clients know us as Missing Link Security.

 

September 11, 2001 was a critical date for Missing Link Security. In response to the brutal attacks

on our nation, Dave and others anchored Missing Link Security as a partner with the US Government to protect our nation and find ways to bring those who would attack us to justice. When the Department of Homeland Security was formed, Missing Link Security was one of the first contractors to assist. We are still serving within various Directorates of the Department of Homeland Security, and the Department of Justice today.

 

Staying true to its heritage, Missing Link Security employs people who are passionate about the security of our country, our communities, and our information systems. We hold ourselves to a high standard of excellence because we know that our families and our nation depend on our success. We are determined to find our client’s weakest links before someone else does. If we do our job correctly, we will maintain a chain of security so strong that no other enemy will ever get through a weak link.

 

Some claim that our heritage is lofty and one small company cannot make a difference. We say, “Watch us and see.”
