About Dan Meretsky
A highly skilled Principal Cloud Security Engineer with 13 years of experience building security programs from the ground up - writing policies, building automation, and getting engineering teams to actually adopt them. Specializes in container security, Kubernetes hardening, AWS infrastructure, and detection engineering. Builds tools that make security easier: Python automation for compliance scanning and IAM auditing, policy-as-code frameworks integrated into CI/CD pipelines, Pod Security Standards across EKS clusters, and enterprise logging architectures with SIEM integration.Not just deploying tools and trusting they work. Performs offensive testing against EDR sensors to validate detections, finds gaps, and works directly with vendors to fix them. Led security onboarding for multiple acquisitions, secured GenAI workloads with guardrails for prompt injection prevention, and built incident response playbooks with supporting automation. Finding problems is easy - closing the loop is what matters.
