Twenty minutes. No retainer. Tell me what you're facing.
Need an independent audit of your IT team? Let's get this taken care of — quick and easy. Email goes straight to my desk. I read every message myself, and most replies go out the same business day.
I take three to five engagements at a time. Calendars fill 2–3 weeks ahead. Expert-witness retainers require conflict checks. Earlier conversations get earlier slots.
Client voices
What people said.
From the InfoStream years — three decades of advising South Florida businesses, municipalities, healthcare organizations, regulated industries, and on-air newsrooms.
"What truly sets Alan apart from his peers is his unrivaled personal integrity. He is the ultimate professional who will not only do what he says but will go above and beyond. He also has the uncanny ability to explain the most complex process in very understandable terms. Alan truly is the real deal."
"I've worked with Fortune 500 IT teams in the past, and InfoStream's level of service and professionalism compares favorably to among the best of these. For a small to mid-size business that spells RELIABILITY."
"Alan and his team are extremely knowledgeable about internet security and the latest trends in malware. Any time I have any concerns or learn of new types of hacking, the team always has information and simple steps to protect my accounts and information."
As seen on
When the story is technical, the newsroom calls Alan.
More than a hundred segments across NBC, FOX, ABC, and CBS affiliates — translating breaches, scams, and the headline of the week into something a viewer can act on.
Background
Built before the news could pronounce "cybersecurity."
I founded InfoStream in 1994 — the year most people first heard the word "internet." For three decades I built and led the firm into one of South Florida's most trusted independent IT and cybersecurity practices, serving municipalities, healthcare organizations, regulated industries, and the Florida small businesses that depend on getting the boring details right.
Along the way, I served as the on-air cybersecurity expert for WPTV NBC 5 and WFLX FOX 29, with appearances across NBC, FOX, ABC, and CBS on breaches, scams, and the headline of the week. I'm a graduate of Palm Beach Atlantic University ('92), recipient of its Outstanding MBA Graduate Award, and serve on the Advisory Board of the Rinker School of Business.
InfoStream is now behind me. What I take on next is selective, on my own terms, and aimed where thirty years of pattern recognition actually moves the needle.
