Resume

Bill Weber

Cybersecurity speaks in many languages—engineering, compliance, threat intel, governance, business risk—and I speak them all.

I help organizations connect the dots between their boardroom, their backend, and everything in between. Whether you’re building a security program from scratch, preparing for CMMC, modernizing legacy systems, or aligning with regulatory frameworks, I translate complexity into clear, strategic action that moves the business forward.

Trusted by Fortune 500s, defense contractors, research institutions, and high-stakes startups, I deliver executive-ready guidance with deep technical insight. I’m a builder, advisor, and translator—fluent in both the language of leadership and the details that matter to assessors, engineers, and auditors alike.

Cybersecurity doesn’t need more noise. It needs clarity, context, and momentum. Let’s build that—together.
