Expert Aviation Cybersecurity Guidance
While I provide comprehensive educational resources through my blog and guides, some situations require personalized expert consultation.
Aviation Cybersecurity Consulting
I'm accepting a limited number of consulting engagements as I develop services addressing real aviation cybersecurity challenges. This focused approach ensures that each client receives meaningful value.
How I Help Airports:
1. FAA Grant Readiness Assessment — Evaluate your current security posture for FAA grant eligibility. Identify vulnerabilities in operational technology systems (ILS, VOR, AWOS, SCADA/RMM). Receive a prioritized remediation roadmap with cost estimates.
2. FAA Readiness Preparation (Matches rulemaking timing): Prepare for emerging FAA cybersecurity standards while meeting current TSA requirements. Strategic planning for 2026-2027 regulatory changes.
3. TSA Compliance Implementation (Matches consulting strategy) Hands-on support implementing the four TSA cybersecurity requirements: network segmentation, access controls, continuous monitoring, and vulnerability management.
4. Ongoing Advisory Services (Matches retainer model) Quarterly reviews, regulatory updates, incident response support, and continuous compliance guidance for Part 139 airports.


Why Aviation-Specific Expertise Matters:
Unlike generic IT consultants, I bring 28 years with the FAA in engineering in technical roles and understand:
Aviation operational technology and legacy systems
Part 139 SMS frameworks and hazard identification
FAA certification requirements and regulatory context
Navigation aid infrastructure and vulnerabilities
The reality of 24/7 airport operations and budget constraints
My approach: Practical, implementable recommendations—not ivory tower consulting. Every engagement includes knowledge transfer to build your team's capabilities.
