The central, most essential part of something; the core.

In computing, the kernel is the core of an operating system. In mathematics, it’s a foundational concept. In business, it’s a fundamental element that drives strategy, growth, and resilience.

At Kernel Advisory, cybersecurity is that core.

And we’ve built our firm around delivering the strategic, technical, and operational insight that keeps it strong.
