About

About Aston Cyber

Aston Cyber is a founder-led, engineering-led Systems Modernization business based in Northwest Alabama.

Better systems around real business needs

Aston Cyber helps organizations assess, design, build, integrate, migrate, automate, secure, validate, document, and improve the systems behind their operations.

Modernization may involve aging technology, but it can also mean connecting current applications, improving a workflow, correcting a fragile configuration, or building a focused capability that existing tools do not provide.

Work is available for appropriate regional and remote engagements across industries and organization sizes.

Founder-led accountability

Matt Aston leads or materially participates in each engagement and remains accountable for the technical work. Aston Cyber does not present itself as a large staffed delivery organization.

Scope, responsibilities, dependencies, assumptions, milestones where useful, deliverables, and completion conditions are defined before implementation begins.
