Zac Fosdyck | Cyber Resilience | Open Source Advocate | Regenerative Systems
Welcome. I’m Zac Fosdyck, an Illinois-based cyber resilience professional, educator, and open source strategist dedicated to advancing resilient, ethical, and sustainable technology.

About Me
I bring a multidisciplinary perspective to the world of cyber resilience—combining business acumen, technical expertise, and a commitment to lifelong learning. My journey bridges food service management, higher education, and the technical complexities of information security, with a focus on Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) and community-driven solutions.

What I Do
Cyber Resilience Leadership:
Certified in Security+, Cloud+, Linux+, and CompTIA Secure Cloud Professional (CSCP), I specialize in building, hardening, and monitoring Linux-based infrastructures, conducting risk and gap assessments, and mentoring newcomers to the field.

Regenerative Management:
I incorporate holistic and regenerative principles into both technology and organizational systems, advocating for stewardship, sustainability, and the integration of social good with technical progress.

Education & Community:
As a co-founder of Grass Roots Cyber, I develop accessible cyber resilience resources and live educational content, demystifying complex topics and empowering individuals and small businesses to defend themselves effectively.

Research & Innovation:
My work explores the intersection of cyber resilience, decentralized technologies (blockchain, dApps), and the ethical use of AI—seeking practical tools that respect privacy, agency, and community resilience.

Why Work With Me?
Strategic Vision:
I align technical projects with broader organizational and social objectives, ensuring technology serves people—not the other way around.

Commitment to Open Source:
I champion transparent, collaborative, and adaptable solutions that lower barriers to entry and foster true innovation.

Ethical Perspective:
Integrity, responsibility, and a learner’s mindset are at the core of my practice. I help organizations navigate complexity, uncertainty, and change with confidence.
