Founder's Statement
Welcome To Able Advisory
With nearly 30 years of experience in the ever-changing world of cybersecurity, I’m committed to helping organizations of all sizes stay safe and secure. As a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and leader for some of the world’s top companies, I’ve learned how the right cybersecurity strategies can transform security from just a cost into a powerful advantage.
Today, cybersecurity is about more than just firewalls and antivirus programs. It’s about being prepared, staying flexible, and making security a natural part of how a business operates. At Able Advisory Services, we don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all” solutions. Instead, we take the time to understand your organization—its specific challenges and goals. From there, we build and carry out plans that address your needs now and protect you from future risks.
Our expertise comes from handling hundreds of high-stakes situations, including responding to cyberattacks by nation-states, leading large-scale projects to track vulnerabilities, and rebuilding entire business systems after major security incidents. This hands-on experience sets us apart, allowing us to create security solutions that help your business succeed without slowing it down.
Our goal is simple: to make cybersecurity easy to understand and give you personalized strategies that let your business grow with confidence. Together, we’ll secure your future.
Our Services
Your business, Our Expertise, Your Success
We provide cybersecurity consulting for small, medium, and large businesses. We have experienced cybersecurity leaders who have worked with some of the biggest companies in the world. These experts have hands-on experience and know what it takes to handle tough cybersecurity challenges.
Security Program Strategy and Plan
Every business needs a clear and practical plan to prioritize key security protections. The plan should be realistic, easy to implement, and regularly reviewed to adapt to new threats and changing business needs. This ensures the company stays secure and prepared for evolving cybersecurity challenges.
Security Architecture Roadmap
With over 5,000 security tools available today in the market place, navigating terms like ZTNA, SASE, SD-WAN, EDR/MDR/XDR, SIEM, SOAR, IAM, PAM, and IoT can feel overwhelming. Don’t worry—we’ll help you find your “easy” button to simplify and bring everything together for effective security management.
Security Training and Awareness
Employees are often the first defense against ever-changing cyber threats. Small mistakes can lead to data breaches, financial loss, or reputational damage. A robust training program helps employees spot risks, respond effectively, and stay safe online. This reduces risks, protects data, and fosters a culture of security for long-term business success.
Cybersecurity Risk Maturity
How much should your business invest in cybersecurity? What’s the right balance of technology, skilled people, and defenses to reduce risks? How do your efforts compare to others in your industry, and how prepared are they to handle cyber threats? Finding answers ensure smarter, stronger protection.
Regulatory Compliance Readiness
The endless and constantly changing rules and regulations can be a big challenge for your business. How do you handle the sea of acronyms like SEC, FTC, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, FISMA, CMMC, GDPR, CPRA, EO14028, and EO13800? Staying informed and prepared is key to staying compliant and secure.
Business Resiliency
Do you know where your critical information assets are? How quickly can you recover your important systems after an interruption? Do you have the contact information for local authorities or law enforcement if you suspect a cybercrime is happening? Being prepared can make all the difference.
Why is Cybersecurity hard
Resource And Talent Constraints:
- Most companies do not have the resources to research, design, architect, and implement technology solutions, or adding required controls that tie back to security.
- Even if control gaps or weaknesses are identified, the urgency and affordability of solutions would require skilled and capable workforce becomes the immediate next challenge.
Why Would Attackers Want To Target Me:
- Surprisingly, there are companies that have not recognized cybersecurity as a business need and the scale of investment needed.
- Cybersecurity is often overlooked due to budget constraints and the belief that it doesn’t apply. Many think they’re too small to be targeted.
What Is The Right Balance:
- How best to balance your level of security with the usability and affordability of your technology and process. Too much security makes things very difficult to use, make things easy to use generally means you are sacrificing security.
- How will this program interact with that security tool? How will this setting effect my customer or employee. Will these two security tools work together or fight one another?
- Everyone deals with security as a mix of affordability and complexity level in technology.
