Blue Goat Cyber Founder Interview Christian Espinosa
With over 30 years of experience in cybersecurity, Christian Espinosa has protected companies, medical devices like pacemakers, and government systems from online threats. He started Blue Goat Cyber to make services like penetration testing more accessible for startups pursuing SOC 2 compliance.
Espinosa focuses on understanding each client's maturity level instead of overwhelming them with an extensive checklist. By mastering the top priorities first, organizations can become more secure than trying to do too many things at once.
His team takes an in-depth, consultative approach, with an initial test to identify vulnerabilities, recommendations to fix them, and a second round of testing to validate remediation. This ensures problems are actually resolved rather than just assumed fixed.
Espinosa specializes in securing medical devices where cyber attacks could literally endanger lives by hacking into pacemakers or autonomous surgical robots. He emphasizes practical protections over just more employee training, since people will inevitably still click on phishing emails.
By partnering long-term instead of one-off engagements, Blue Goat Cyber helps companies implement layered defenses like multi-factor authentication and patch management. This focus on the fundamentals allows small and medium businesses to maximize impact even with limited budgets.
With his extensive experience across industries and technologies, Christian Espinosa has a proven track record in cybersecurity. Blue Goat Cyber's customized assessments help ensure companies have the safeguards they need to operate securely.
