Our Team

Mike’s 20+ year career leading to Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Asgard Cyber Security appropriately reflects that of a digital electron, traversing network architectures, company infrastructures, and the cloud, from the depths of software code through the innerworkings of hardware and infrastructure design. He is responsible for Asgard’s technical direction, penetration testing, and software development, from framing strategies and methodologies to building an “A” team of cyber security technology professionals.

Prior to Asgard, Mike served as CTO for Wolf Canyon Energy Group, where he established IT policies and created a large-scale WAN to connect multiple corporate and branch locations along with end-to-end security systems. Before that, he led W Energy Software’s IT migration to the cloud, upgrading more than 500 systems and 60 customers, while saving the company over $500K in operating costs. Mike also authored NGL Energy Partners’ cyber security program, securing enterprise-wide SCADA systems, helped secure a $30M facility for a major agricultural company, and worked as a Dell Windows Systems Architect.

Mike started his career supporting Microsoft Windows on their performance team; he later joined their Beta Technology Support team, helping to develop Windows XP and support various Microsoft government and enterprise clients. Mike attended Southwest Texas State University and the University of Texas at Arlington. He holds several professional credentials, including Certified Professional Hacker, (ISC)2 Certified Information Systems Security Professional, Offensive Security Certified Expert, Certified Professional, and Wireless Professional. Mike is an avid skydiver and a member of the Dallas Symphony Chorus.

As the Senior Director of Penetration Testing for Asgard Cyber Security, Travon Duncan surveys the boundaries between trust and treachery in the world of cyber-crime. Clients trust him to develop test procedures that meet or exceed statements of work, exposing human and technical vulnerabilities across the enterprise. Yet, as a thought leader in the industry, he must refresh his understanding of the most pernicious hacking schemes pressing the veil of corporate security daily. Travon’s career attests to his ability to walk the line.

Prior to joining Asgard, Travon earned national recognition for his work in reshaping operations for the U.S. Government's Cyber Security program. He developed and facilitated the deployment of a variety of system security baselines that would later be implemented into international military operations. Travon came to Asgard from Lockheed Martin Corporation, where he secured integrated air and missile defense cyber systems before leaving the organization as their Senior Cyber Systems Engineer.

Travon holds numerous certifications and credentials, including Certified Ethical Hacker, Practical Network Penetration Tester, and Certified Network Defense Architect, with Active Secret Clearance. He graduated as a presidential scholar on the dean’s list from Virginia Union University and holds a B.S. degree in cyber security and minor in digital forensics. Travon hosts a global online forum for cyber security professionals serving over 2,000 members at discord.gg/zeroxpsec. He encourages newcomers to the field by volunteering as a mentor.
