Blue Goat Cyber Purpose

Our purpose is simple – to make you and your organization secure. Our cybersecurity services serve this purpose. We’re small enough to take real pride in each and every job we do and agile enough to take on projects of all sizes. We are always up for a challenge. We take pride in bringing order to chaos and tangible results to difficult circumstances.

We can help you answer one of cybersecurity’s biggest questions: “where do I start?” The industry has overly complicated cybersecurity, making it difficult to know where to begin, especially with all the “solutions” claiming to fix all your problems.

We offer inclusive cybersecurity services ranging from penetration testing to CISO-as-a-Service (fractional CISO).

One solution does not fit all. Threat actors are after different types of data and use different tactics for each industry. We want to be your trusted advisor and help you make wise decisions. Our tailored solutions provide strategy, obtain results, and remove guesswork.

Blue Goat Cyber Core Values

Think flexibly to solve problems
Find the opportunity in every situation
Listen carefully, respond clearly
Own the problem, find the solution
Grow beyond your comfort zone
Obsess over critical details
Learn fast, learn often

Founder Bio

Christian Espinosa is a bestselling author, certified high-performance coach, powerful keynote speaker, and the founder and CEO of Blue Goat Cyber, an organization designed to combat cybercrime through technical prowess and emotional intelligence.

Throughout his career, Christian has always strived to be the smartest person in the room – to leverage his skills, knowledge, and experience to benefit others. That is until he realized that leadership, fighting cybercrime, and the ability to find simple solutions to any challenge are truly his greatest contributions to humanity.

Shifting his focus, Christian authored the bestselling book, aptly named “The Smartest Person in the Room,” to help other leaders raise the emotional intelligence of their high IQ staff members, thereby increasing team and organizational agility.

He also shares his decades of insight, actionable takeaways, and transformational strategies with audiences at Cybersecurity Events, Technology Conferences, Personal Development Seminars, and Private Mastermind Workshops. Espinosa speaks on various topics, including why we are losing the cyberwar, how leading yourself helps lead others, and cybersecurity entrepreneurship.

Espinosa built Blue Goat Cyber to empathetically understand pain points within a company, build genuine relationships with leaders, and implement holistic methods of protecting vulnerable systems and processes.

Christian is a US Air Force veteran with a BS in Engineering from the US Air Force Academy and MBA from Webster University. He holds multiple patents related to cybersecurity attack and defense.

When Christian isn’t protecting the world from cybercriminals, he climbs mountains, travels the world, teaches outdoor wilderness survival, and competes in Ironman triathlons. He currently resides in Phoenix, Arizona, although he spends most of his time off searching for the next adventure.
