The Face Behind 406Secure

Hi, I’m Cade Kelley — founder of 406Secure and a cybersecurity specialist proudly serving the Bitterroot Valley. My passion for technology started early and hasn’t let up since. What began with taking apart computers in my bedroom turned into years of hands-on work, deep security research, and a drive to help others stay safe in a connected world. In a region where quality tech support can be hard to come by, I created 406Secure to be the reliable, skilled, and honest option this community deserves. Whether you're a homeowner, gamer, or small business owner, you shouldn’t have to rely on out-of-town help or online service shops for something as personal as your digital security — and with 406Secure, you don’t have to.

I started 406Secure to offer something different — not just better service, but a better way forward. I’ve always believed real skill and passion matter more than job titles or traditional job routes. Rather than wait for permission or settle for entry-level roles that don’t reflect my capabilities, I built this company to prove what I can do — with integrity, transparency, and results that speak for themselves.

My background blends hands-on experience with formal certifications, but what really sets me apart is how deeply I live and breathe this field. I’ve spent years building, repairing, and optimizing systems — from budget-friendly desktops to high-performance gaming rigs and workstations. On the security side, I’ve worked extensively with red team tools, vulnerability scanning, and threat emulation environments to understand exactly how systems are attacked — and how to defend them. Beyond just technical know-how, I’ve built internal tools, dissected malware behavior, configured secure network environments, and led infrastructure setups from scratch. I understand both Windows and Linux systems, can automate tasks with PowerShell and Python, and have even engineered full-stack projects with security baked in from the start. Every summer, I also teach cybersecurity to youth — not just basic safety tips, but real-world concepts like encryption, ethical hacking, and digital forensics. It’s one thing to know how to break or fix something. It’s another to explain why it works, how it can fail, and how to make it better. That’s the level I operate on — and it’s what I bring to every job.

406Secure isn’t just a business — it’s the proof that skill, drive, and execution matter. Every system I touch is secured with the same mindset: do it right, do it efficiently, and leave every risk addressed. Whether it’s locking down a business network, building a high-performance rig, or helping a family stay safe online, I bring the same level of precision and care to every job. This is more than tech support — it’s personal accountability, delivered with real expertise.
