Christian Espinosa

Christian Espinosa is the Founder and CEO of Blue Goat Cyber, where he helps medical device manufacturers make MedTech cybersecurity and FDA premarket cybersecurity requirements clear, fast, and effective - without slowing innovation. A U.S. Air Force Academy graduate and veteran with decades of cybersecurity experience across defense, critical infrastructure, and MedTech, Christian is known for a practical, risk-based approach that turns complex expectations into execution-ready plans for engineering, QA, and regulatory teams.

Before launching Blue Goat Cyber, Christian built Alpine Security (founded in 2014) and sold the company in 2020. Not long after that exit, a serious health scare involving life-threatening blood clots made the mission intensely personal - reinforcing how much patients depend on medical technology working safely, reliably, and securely. In 2022, he founded Blue Goat Cyber to help manufacturers build security in from the start and move through FDA review with confidence. Under his leadership, Blue Goat has supported 275+ medical devices, with no cybersecurity-related rejections to date.

Christian and the Blue Goat team support the full lifecycle of device cybersecurity - from secure product development and architecture reviews to threat modeling, cybersecurity risk management, and submission-ready evidence packages that hold up in FDA review. Their work commonly supports 510(k), PMA, and De Novo pathways, helping teams align technical controls to intended use, document security risk controls, and respond efficiently to cybersecurity questions during review.

Outside of work, Christian is an endurance athlete who has completed 24 Ironmans and climbed 2 of the 7 Summits. He's also working toward competing in Formula 4 racing and has traveled to 80+ countries - pursuits that mirror his belief in preparation, discipline, and calm under pressure.
