Why did our CEO and founder start Blue Goat Cyber? It's simple - it's about saving lives. Blue Goat Cyber’s journey began with Christian Espinosa’s deep industry expertise and personal resolve. After founding Alpine Security in 2014 and helping hundreds of manufacturers secure FDA approval for medical devices, Christian sold the company in 2020. But a life-changing health scare in 2022 reignited his passion for safeguarding lives through secure medical devices. With a renewed mission, Christian founded Blue Goat Cyber to focus exclusively on navigating regulatory complexities and implementing cutting-edge cybersecurity for medical devices. Today, Blue Goat Cyber continues to protect patient safety by helping manufacturers secure innovative devices, from diagnostic tools to robotic surgery systems. 💡 Cybersecurity isn’t just about compliance—it’s about saving lives. #MedicalDeviceSecurity #Cybersecurity #PatientSafety #BlueGoatCyber #FDACompliance
