Aaron Crow has joined MorganFranklin Consulting’s cybersecurity practice as senior director for operational technology (OT) security.

Based in Austin, Crow will focus on clients in utilities, manufacturing, food and beverage, and transportation.

He brings more than 25 years of technology experience, with expertise across technical architecture and design, data migration, network and application security, network system rollouts, and technology refreshes.

Crow previously spent a year-and-a-half as CTO of Industrial Defender, an OT cybersecurity firm. Before that, he spent four-and-a-half years at EY, where he was a senior manager in the cybersecurity services practice.

Crow also spent over seven years at Luminant, a subsidiary of Vistra Energy, where he was manager of OT for power generation, overseeing cybersecurity for over 40 power generation sites.

Earlier in his career, Crow was a systems engineer at Cingular and AT&T.

“We’re thrilled to have Aaron join the MorganFranklin team and harness his unique understanding of the challenges and complexities of securing critical infrastructure,” said Keith Hollender, a partner in MorganFranklin’s cybersecurity practice. “His expertise, leadership and commitment to the field position him as a valuable asset for our clients aiming to enhance their critical infrastructure cybersecurity measures.”

MorganFranklin’s cybersecurity practice provides services in strategy & risk, identity & access management, security operations, digital forensics & incident response, and managed security.

The Washington, DC-headquartered firm has more than 650 employees across 10 US offices.

MorganFranklin earlier this year added Michael Welch to its cybersecurity practice.
