Blue Goat Cyber's 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 the 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
BELIEFS

Blue Goat Cyber’s Cybersecurity Beliefs

We believe in protecting private property
We believe everyone has the right to freely operate in cyberspace
We believe in using our skills to give back to our local and global community
We believe in developing and empowering people, not egos

We are a trusted partner with only one purpose – to help you succeed. We realize cybersecurity is probably not the main focus of your business and is often viewed as a “necessary evil”. We are not a “one and done” company. We value long-term relationships where we help you protect your data. We know if we add enough value for you, we will both succeed. Give us a chance.

  1. Our people. All of our employees are extremely certified in their respective areas of expertise, believe in our mission, and have many years experience with both the government and commercial sectors. We are passionate about helping you secure your data. 
  2. Our Processes. We take security seriously and use a holistic approach. Many competitors begin by searching for vulnerabilities with a microscope. We start with the big picture.
  3. Our services. We spend time writing our reports in a simple to understand and implement manner. We’re not impressed with competitors that generate thousand page reports with lots of technical jargon that leave you wondering, “what do I do with this”?

We value progress. We value relationships. We value attention to detail. We value aptitude. We value attitude. We value clear communications. We value a growth mindset. We value taking ownership. We value adaptability. We value stepping outside of comfort zones. We value thinking outside the box. We value creativity and innovation. We value persistence. We value wellness. We value learning. We value success. We value the journey.

Founder Bio

Christian Espinosa is a bestselling author, certified high-performance coach, 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.
