Hi, I'm Hugo Salamanca
ISC2 Certified in Cybersecurity℠ · Houston, TX
I spent 8+ years securing enterprise infrastructure for airlines, energy companies, hospitals, and manufacturers across Houston. Now I bring that same enterprise-grade expertise directly to local homes and small businesses — at a price that makes sense.

Why I Started HoustonSecureIT
Over the past 8 years, I've worked inside some of Houston's most demanding IT environments — a major airline, an energy pipeline company, a hospital network, a global logistics hub, and a chemical manufacturing plant. Every one of those organizations had a dedicated security team, enterprise-grade firewalls, and round-the-clock monitoring.
The problem? The homeowner down the street and the small business owner on the corner don't have any of that. Their routers still have the default passwords. Their kids are on the same network as their work laptop. Their guest Wi-Fi connects to everything. And when something goes wrong, there's no one to call.
I started HoustonSecureIT to close that gap. You shouldn't need an enterprise IT budget to have a properly secured network. Firewalla makes enterprise-grade security accessible — and I make sure it's set up right, configured for your specific situation, and monitored so threats get caught before they become problems.
I'm Houston-based, ISC2 certified, and I only take on clients I can genuinely help. If you're not a good fit for what I offer, I'll tell you and point you in the right direction. That's the kind of service I'd want for my own family.
