Rick Watson

Cybersecurity leader. Entrepreneur. Author. Speaker. Problem solver with a passion for serving others.

For more than three decades, I've helped organizations reduce risk, strengthen security, and make better technology decisions. As President and Principal Consultant of Binary Consulting Group, I work with federal agencies, government contractors, nonprofits, and private organizations to build practical cybersecurity programs that improve resilience, simplify compliance, and support business objectives.

I founded my first consulting company in 2004, and that journey continues today through Binary Consulting Group, where I focus on cybersecurity strategy, vulnerability management, governance, risk management, automation, executive reporting, and security program modernization.

I'm also an author and enjoy sharing practical insights that help leaders, IT professionals, and organizations better understand cybersecurity, leadership, and technology. Whether writing, speaking, or consulting, my goal is to make complex topics clear, actionable, and relevant.

My passion extends beyond consulting. I enjoy teaching, mentoring, and speaking on cybersecurity, leadership, emerging technologies, entrepreneurship, and the intersection of technology and faith. I believe the best leaders make complex ideas understandable and help others succeed.

At the end of the day, technology is about people. My goal is to leave every organization, every team, and every person better than I found them.
