About Evin Hernandez
Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.” - Theodore Roosevelt.With over 20 years dedicated to IT security and the last 6 product management and marketing, my journey has taken me through the ranks of Fortune Global 100 companies, where I’ve had the privilege to contribute my skills. My role has evolved from technical consultancy to leading information security initiatives, always aiming to marry innovative technology solutions with robust security measures, mindful of their impact on business operations and innovation.My expertise spans a wide range of technical disciplines, including network architecture, malware analysis, threat hunting, web application security testing, and red teaming. I’ve also been deeply involved in systems architecture, configuration management, and systems administration, with a particular focus on sectors critical to our economy and well-being, such as healthcare, financial services, cloud computing, and software development.As a volunteer and former President of the NY/NJ chapter of the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP), I’ve enjoyed giving back to the community, sharing knowledge and working together to improve web application security.The industries I’ve had the opportunity to work in are diverse, ranging from Healthcare to SaaS, Financial Services, Datacenter/Hosting, ISP, Professional Services, and Non-Profit, along with significant exposure to cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, and Azure.My career highlights include conducting detailed assessments and risk management, mastering security frameworks like ISO 27001, ITILv3, and various NIST standards, and ensuring compliance with regulations such as FIPS, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and SOX. I’m also well-versed in several operating platforms, including Windows, Linux, Unix, OSX, container technologies, and Kubernetes.I view my journey as a continuous learning experience, one where I’ve had the chance to work alongside incredibly talented individuals and contribute to the broader IT security field. It’s a path that has taught me the value of humility, hard work, and the constant pursuit of excellence.
