About Matthew Lombana

I am a Tech Lead Manager at Nuro in Austin, Texas. I manage the security operations team and specialize in incident response, threat hunting, and network and endpoint security. While at Nuro I have deployed network and endpoint tooling to over 4500 endpoints across 70 GCP VPC networks. I work with internal stakeholders and business units to design and implement custom detection and response solutions across in-house and SaaS products. I leveraged GCP PubSub, GCS, GCP cloud functions, and GCP BigQuery to ingest 475 million log entries per day.Before Nuro, I was a Lead Security Engineer at Praetorian in Austin, Texas. I focused on assessment and advisory services, and provided clients with short-term action items to improve their current security posture, and long term strategic vision to prevent future vulnerabilities. While working at Praetorian, I contributed to various Center for Internet Security benchmarks. Specifically, I have participated in comments and discussions for the CIS Azure benchmark and CIS Critical Security Controls v8 benchmarks. Additionally, I taught as a guest lecturer at the University of Texas at Austin for course CS 378, Ethical Hacking.Prior to working at Praetorian, I interned at Cisco where I specialized in purple team assessments and conducted red team, web application, and network assessments. Prior to working as a penetration tester at Cisco, I implemented an open source reconnaissance tool to identify a company\'s attack surface and automate the detection of anomalies for Cisco\'s security operations centers. Beforehand, I was a performance engineering intern at Red Hat, where I worked on automated testing of Red Hat Cloudforms, a hybrid-cloud management platform.While in school, I participated in the Cornell Hacking Club where I served as vice president. I had the opportunity to discuss, use, and exploit security flaws in Capture-The-Flag (CTF) competitions. As vice president for the Open Source Cornell club I discussed, used, and contributed to multiple open source projects, while improving my collaboration and coding skills.In addition, I was a member of the Society of Hispanic Engineers, Association of Computer Science Undergraduates, and Underrepresented Minorities in Computing at Cornell, in addition to being a Cornell Tradition Fellow. While managing my time between classes, clubs, and extracurriculars, I was a teaching assistant for Cornell\'s Operating Systems and Unix Tools and Scripting classes, and worked at the Cornell IT Helpdesk providing tier-1 support to Cornell students and staff.
