Our Team

Aether Security was founded by a team of cybersecurity professionals with backgrounds spanning federal operations, compliance, and advanced threat defense. We bring deep expertise and a fresh perspective to every engagement.

Raziel Toro is a cybersecurity executive with over a decade of experience protecting SAP and SCI networks across the Air Force, Navy, and Space Force. As CEO of Aether Security, he brings mission-first leadership and deep technical expertise to deliver advanced cybersecurity solutions that align with the most demanding operational environments.

​

  • Directed cybersecurity assurance for SAP and SCI networks supporting top-secret Space Force missions, aligning security architecture with launch operations, mission command priorities, and zero-fail operational demands across national defense programs.

​

  • ​Oversaw enterprise-level cyber readiness for U.S. Navy operations in Yokosuka, managing audit compliance, cloud security evaluations, and cross-stakeholder coordination to fortify critical naval infrastructure and ensure uninterrupted mission execution.

​

  • Headed cross-functional cybersecurity efforts for Air Force Fighter Wing operations in Okinawa, enabling uninterrupted sortie readiness through proactive risk mitigation and leadership integration.

Frankie Galambos brings over a decade of operational cybersecurity experience supporting military and federal missions in classified environments. His deep expertise in compliance, vulnerability management, and risk governance ensures that Aether Security’s operations remain mission-ready, audit-secure, and strategically aligned with client objectives.

​​

  • Directed enterprise-level accreditation and sustainment for 13 mission-critical government systems across DoD and Air Force environments, ensuring full RMF lifecycle execution, proactive vulnerability remediation, and precise eMASS documentation to achieve and preserve ATOs.

​

  • Led security operations and engineering for a classified federal program, orchestrating secure cloud migrations, implementing NIST RMF Rev. 5, and strengthening third-party risk management frameworks through Agile-driven, cross-functional collaboration.

​

  • ​Oversaw vulnerability and compliance operations across highly sensitive networks, eliminating 88+ high-risk findings and aligning NIST 800-series controls with mission priorities to safeguard operational readiness.​​

​

  • Directed enterprise accreditation, vulnerability management, ICAM integration, and vendor oversight for 13 mission-critical DoD, Air Force, and USTRANSCOM systems—leveraging eMASS to manage RMF lifecycles, coordinating with DISA, SDDC, Sealift Command, and DIA to align security and operational priorities, and providing policy oversight for Zero Trust architectures to sustain ATOs across joint, cloud, and on-prem environments.

​

  • Authored Transitioning Tactics: A Tailored Guide for Air Force Veterans — a hands-on resource rooted in his own transition experience to help service members navigate civilian life; and runs his personal website, MALDORK.com, where he publishes technical malware research and regularly analyzes threats like “FormBook” to inform and empower the broader cybersecurity community.

Isaiah Green-Cardwell understands what’s at stake when cybersecurity fails, and how to make sure it doesn’t. He translates complex technical demands into scalable, compliant solutions that serve both mission and business needs, backed by extensive experience in high-security defense networks.

​

  • ​Directed enterprise cybersecurity operations across forward-deployed military sites, integrating vulnerability assessments, incident response, and continuous monitoring into a unified risk management framework that safeguarded mission-critical systems under high-threat conditions.

​

  • Governed the accreditation and compliance lifecycle for 7 SCADA systems, developing and approving RMF packages and ATO submissions, briefing executive stakeholders, auditing controls, and leading configuration change boards to ensure secure and resilient operational technology environments.

​

  • Institutionalized standardized security incident reporting protocols, reducing enterprise response times and preventing 80+ potential security violations across Air Force and Department of Navy networks through improved visibility, accountability, and proactive mitigation.

​

  • Led enterprise cybersecurity governance and risk operations for DoD, Air Force, and USTRANSCOM missions, overseeing eMASS-driven compliance, enterprise vulnerability management, and Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs); implemented Zero Trust architectures and partnered with DISA, SDDC, Sealift Command, and DIA to modernize security postures, strengthen vendor oversight, and ensure resilient mission support across global operations.

Aaron Ferraro has hands-on experience building and securing complex environments. From threat hunting to architecture design, his work bridges the gap between strategy and implementation. He leads with curiosity, precision, and a passion for solving hard problems — ensuring our clients have the tools, visibility, and resilience to stay ahead of evolving threats.

​

  • Master’s candidate in Information Security Engineering at SANS Technology Institute; holds 11 GIAC certifications (GDSA, GCFA, GWAPT) and Security+.

​

  • Leads global security architecture at a multinational pharmaceutical company, overseeing SOC operations, vulnerability management, and compliance strategy.

​

  • Built and optimized network security monitoring and incident response programs in the U.S. Air Force and a major GSE bank, streamlining detection using Zeek, Wireshark, and PowerShell automation.

​

  • Founder of Frostbyte-Security.com; former Air Force security researcher and MSSP threat intelligence lead known for engineering threat detection programs, managing investigations, and creating community-driven intelligence tools.
