NSA Legend Dr. Roy Bryan Stoker Joins Mindcore to Strengthen ShieldHQ with Advanced Cybersecurity Expertise and Cutting-Edge Technologies.
Mindcore Technologies, a leader in managed IT services and cybersecurity, announced the continued expansion of its ShieldHQ security ecosystem with the involvement of Roy Bryan Stoker, one of the U.S. intelligence community’s most influential technologists. His participation strengthens the strategic and technical depth behind ShieldHQ, Mindcore’s flagship security platform designed for highly regulated environments.
The expansion reinforces Mindcore’s long-term investment in ShieldHQ, a next-generation security platform that unifies advanced stealth networking capabilities with fortified secure data enclave architecture into a single, enterprise-ready solution. ShieldHQ is engineered to fundamentally reduce attack surfaces, protect sensitive data at its core, and deliver resilience in environments where traditional perimeter defenses are no longer sufficient.
Dr. Stoker’s career has defined the modern era of secure communications and cyber resilience. His expertise strengthens our ability to deliver security that stays ahead of today’s threats.”
— Matt Rosenthal, CEO of Mindcore Technologies
Dr. Stoker brings more than 40 years of distinguished service across senior engineering and leadership roles within the U.S. intelligence and defense communities, including the National Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command. He is widely recognized for architecting some of the nation’s most advanced secure communications, signal intelligence, and cyber-resilient networking frameworks. His work has supported mission-critical operations in contested and highly sensitive environments where confidentiality, availability, and survivability are paramount.

“Dr. Stoker’s career has helped define the modern era of secure communications and cyber resilience,” said Matt Rosenthal, CEO of Mindcore Technologies. “ShieldHQ brings together advanced networking and data protection concepts into a unified platform that changes how organizations defend users, systems, and sensitive information. His experience strengthens the vision behind ShieldHQ and reinforces our ability to deliver security that operates ahead of modern and emerging threats.”
ShieldHQ is delivered by Mindcore Technologies as an integrated security platform that combines stealth-grade networking principles with hardened secure data enclave design. Rather than relying on exposed infrastructure and static perimeter controls, ShieldHQ is built to minimize visibility, restrict access by design, and isolate sensitive workloads in protected execution environments.
At the network layer, ShieldHQ employs advanced techniques that disperse, encrypt, and dynamically route traffic across multiple paths, significantly reducing the effectiveness of reconnaissance, scanning, and lateral movement. At the data layer, ShieldHQ introduces secure data enclaves that isolate applications and sensitive information, ensuring that data remains protected even in scenarios involving compromised endpoints, credentials, or external systems.
This dual-layer architecture enables organizations to move beyond legacy perimeter-based defense models. ShieldHQ delivers a zero-trust, quantum-ready environment designed for healthcare systems, telemedicine platforms, pharmaceutical research, critical infrastructure, and other sectors where regulatory compliance, operational continuity, and data confidentiality are non-negotiable.
Dr. Stoker’s experience includes leading secure networking initiatives at U.S. Cyber Command and pioneering advancements in signal intelligence processing, geolocation, and wireless vulnerability analysis at the NSA. He also founded CRYSTALVISTA, a secure communications and obfuscation platform developed under a Joint Capability Technology Demonstration program with support from multiple federal agencies.
Dr. Stoker holds a Ph.D., MBA, and Master of Science in Electrical Engineering, and serves as an adjunct faculty member at the NSA. His contributions to secure systems engineering and wireless security have been recognized by the National Reconnaissance Office and the SIGINT Committee.
With Dr. Stoker contributing to the expanded ShieldHQ ecosystem, Mindcore Technologies continues to strengthen its position as a strategic cybersecurity leader. As AI-enabled threats accelerate and quantum computing advances, ShieldHQ delivers a stealth-grade, zero-trust security architecture designed not only to defend against today’s risks, but to fundamentally shift the balance of cyber advantage in favor of the organization.
