5Q The Commercial Real Estate Technology & Cyber Security Experts And so, 5Q was born. Learn more about each of our partners and leadership team below.

5Q is the authority for technology management in all sectors of commercial real estate. 5Q provides the full spectrum of IT solutions through four service teams – 5Q LeadRE, 5Q Connect, 5Q Cyber and 5Q TechIQ. Headquartered in Atlanta, with offices in Dallas, Washington, D.C., Minneapolis, and New York City, 5Q helps clients maximize technology efficiency, security and compliance. The company’s te

am of operators and consultants have all established their careers in industry-specific business processes and technology solutions. 5Q understands the intricacies and inner workings of commercial real estate's legacy technology systems. The name 5Q originated from years of “fifth quarter” conversations following college football games when our founding partners spent hours talking about their work as technology professionals. They wanted to make the utilization and adoption of technology better for their employers, their team members, and themselves. They wanted business leaders to look at technology as a key component of their business growth and not just email, phones, and servers, and start to view it as the key to their business growth. Each of our founding and executive partners brings a unique skill set, and every client gets the benefit of our entire breadth of experience that leverages more than 100 years of combined technology experience as well as decades of industry-specific business processes and technology solutions in commercial real estate.

“One11 has been doing this work at a high level for years, and our clients have been asking us about application services for just as long. This is the natural next step in our growth and a direct response to the needs of the clients we serve,” said Wade Hughes, CEO of 5Q.

🔐 World Password Day reminder: best practices aren’t risk‑free.
Password managers dramatically improve security, but they also concentrate risk. When they work, they work well. When they fail, the blast radius is big.
As we shared in March’s CISO Corner Newsletter, the goal isn’t to avoid password managers; it’s to use them wisely which means strong master passwords, MFA, limited sharing, and regular access reviews.

April 2026 just became the worst month for crypto security since early 2025.
In just 18 days, over $600 million was lost across a dozen attacks, wiping out more value than the entire first quarter combined. Two massive breaches accounted for nearly all of it, but what’s more concerning is how they happened.
These weren’t just smart contract bugs. Attackers exploited infrastructure gaps, cross‑chain bridges, access controls, and human trust...the same weak points we see exploited across industries every day. The result? Cascading risk, shaken confidence, and long‑term damage beyond the immediate loss.
This is exactly why 'assume breach' has become the only responsible security mindset.

At 5Q, our Red Team simulates real‑world adversaries, testing not just your technology, but your people, processes, and detection capabilities. We help organizations uncover the paths attackers actually use before those paths are exploited in the wild.

Strong fundamentals make the biggest impact.
Least privilege, solid access controls, ongoing monitoring, and regular testing stop most incidents before they escalate.
If you’re not sure how strong your fundamentals really are, it's time to take a closer look.

Cyber incidents don’t stop at detection.
Recovery costs continue to rise across CRE financially, operationally, and reputationally.
Preparation is far cheaper than response.
