Stephen Cravey is a cybersecurity strategy executive whose expertise in GRC, program management, zero trust, vulnerability management, and advanced threats is grounded in a technical foundation spanning silicon design and software architecture to internet-scale infrastructure. He has led cybersecurity maturity initiatives across private and public sectors, advising U.S. federal and state agencies and Fortune 50 organizations through Big consulting and as an independent advisor. His experience includes serving as NIST Cybersecurity Liaison to the International Space Station program and driving a global defense contractor's DFARS/NIST compliance program.
