Who We Are

First Watch Cyber LLC was founded on a simple principle: the best cybersecurity professionals for the defense community are the ones who have lived inside it.
Vincent Grace is a retired U.S. Army First Sergeant and Bronze Star Medal recipient with over 20 years of combined military and federal service. He has operated within DoD information assurance frameworks across Air Force, Army, and Navy environments — giving him a perspective on defense cybersecurity that goes far beyond technical credentials alone.
