Who We Are

Josh M. Gelman
Principal Consultant / Owner

Josh specializes in working at the intersection of technology, cybersecurity, and emergency management, developing solutions that help organizations in critical infrastructure sectors reduce risks and enhance resilience. His multidisciplinary background includes expertise in cybersecurity, emergency management, software engineering, meteorology, and related fields.

He is especially interested in the convergence of cybersecurity, physical security, and emergency management, arising from the increasing interconnectedness of cyber-physical systems.

His passion for continuous learning ensures he stays up-to-date with developments in technology, emergency services, and other critical infrastructure. Josh also continues to stay active in other areas of emergency services, including serving as an EMT.

Josh holds several certifications in cybersecurity and emergency services, including the CISSP (Certified Information Systems Security Professional) and CEM (Certified Emergency Manager). He also holds an M.S. in Information Science and an M.P.A. in Policy Research & Analysis from the University of Pittsburgh, as well as a B.S. in Meteorology from Penn State.
