About Twin Tech Labs

Our Mission

Democratize security visibility and expertise

The tools and expertise to run a serious security program have historically been out of reach for small and mid-sized engineering teams — too expensive, too complex, or too generic to be useful. Twin Tech Labs exists to change that. Arca brings enterprise-class infrastructure monitoring to teams that can't pay Datadog prices. Our services bring CTO-level security expertise to companies that can't afford a full-time CISO. We do the work ourselves — not through layers of junior analysts.

Leadership

Matthew Hogan

Founder & CTO — Twin Tech Labs

Matt is a technologist and engineering leader with over 20 years of experience spanning space systems, IoT, machine learning, big data, and cybersecurity. He founded Twin Tech Labs in 2018 to bring serious security capability and AI-driven tooling to organizations that don't have the budget or bureaucracy of an enterprise.

Most recently, Matt served as CTO of LifeRaft — an OSINT threat intelligence platform — where he led a team of 31 engineers, grew the company from $10M to $16M ARR, and oversaw a full modernization of the data and search architecture. LifeRaft was acquired by Securitas in March 2026, a successful exit that underscores the quality of the platform and team he built. Prior to LifeRaft, Matt served as Assistant Vice President of Architecture and Engineering for Cybersecurity at John Hancock/Manulife, where he built and managed a global cybersecurity engineering organization responsible for vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and security platform adoption across the US, Canada, and Asia — within a $20M annual budget.

Matt also spent seven years at MathWorks, where he founded and led the Internet of Things organization, drove the acquisition and integration of ioBridge (ThingSpeak), and built out a cross-functional platform team. Earlier in his career, he led ground control software development for experimental DoD satellites at General Dynamics and built electronic medical record data exchange systems at Scientific Technologies Corporation — giving him a practical understanding of both mission-critical systems engineering and healthcare data requirements that few security consultants can match.

Matt holds a Master's in Informatics from Northeastern University (3.96 GPA) and has completed executive education programs in Cybersecurity (University of Oxford), AI Leadership (MIT Sloan), and Platform Strategy (Section4). He has published on Agile development, ML democratization, and analytics team building, and has been interviewed by CIO.com.

Experience

Two decades of depth across industries

Financial Services Security
