Joe Hopper

The founder, Joe Hopper, got started in IT security at the age of 15 helping a small local ISP launch in the mid ‘90s. Through college, he cleaned hacked servers and hardened them. It was then, Joe discovered his passion for keeping organizations secure, one server at a time.

After college, Joe shifted gears to application development and engineering for a Fortune 100 financial services and insurance company, but kept up-to-date on IT security. He later led the secure migration of hundreds of websites to the cloud for a Fortune 200 consumer goods company, reigniting his enthusiasm for information security as he pioneered the organization’s first ever application security and penetration testing practices and procedures.

As a penetration tester working with other national security firms, Joe realized the industry was lacking the high-quality, customer-focused approach he insisted on delivering as standard practice and in 2018, Fracture Labs was born. Since then, the company has expanded and continued to focus on providing top-tier security assessments while relentlessly pursuing unbreakable systems in service to a more secure world of tech.
