Cybersecurity & Networking Services

KohoJiro

Protecting small businesses with professional-grade security — clear reports, honest advice, real results.

Security you can understand.
From someone you can trust.

I'm Justin Gerbert, founder of KohoJiro Cybersecurity & Networking Services, based in Hilo, Hawaii. With over five years of IT support experience spanning help desk, network troubleshooting, VoIP, and security monitoring, I started KohoJiro to bring professional cybersecurity capabilities to small businesses that can't afford enterprise solutions.

I'm currently completing the Google Cybersecurity Professional Certificate and run an active home security lab (Project Karasu) — a real-world environment where I practice threat detection, honeypot deployment, and network hardening every day.

I believe cybersecurity advice should be clear, actionable, and honest — not buried in jargon designed to upsell you.
