About Erik Hansen
I’m a cybersecurity fanatic with a passion for building cloud security platforms and the teams of brilliant people that make it all work. I joined the InfoSec community in 2008 and absolutely love the people, the challenges, and the opportunity to think differently. I view security as a key enabler of business, not as bolt-on compliance.I have significant experience with hands-on offensive and defensive cyber operations, infrastructure security engineering, and incident response. Innovative environments with teams of amazing people excited about technology is what I love about this industry and what motivates me to keep growing.When I’m not working, I’m usually playing guitar, working in my home security lab, or helping my daughters build robots to take over the world.Specialties: team building, professional development, AWS security, offensive cyber tactics, threat hunting, vulnerability management, risk analysis, malware triage, Python, Linux, SIEMCertifications: CISSP, AWS Certified Security Specialty, Security+, Network+, Project+, Certified Expert Penetration Tester (prev certifications include: CEH, AWS Solutions Architect Associate, CCNA)
