ABOUT MANPREET S.
I lead enterprise cloud security programs at scale—bringing together cybersecurity strategy, offensive security, and risk governance to protect complex, highly regulated environments. With 18+ years of experience across cloud security, telecommunications, and large-scale technology delivery, I specialize in building and operating security programs that are not only compliant, but measurable, scalable, and aligned to business outcomes. My focus is simple: reduce risk, improve visibility, and enable the business to move faster—securely.Currently, I head Cloud Security Testing, where I drive strategy and execution across penetration testing, risk management and security governance. I partner closely with engineering, product, and executive stakeholders to report and manage risk across cloud platforms and services, while ensuring alignment with global regulatory frameworks, standards and regulations including NIST 800-53, ISO 27001, SOC2, OSFI, FSRA, CIRO, NIST CSF, GDPR, PCI DSS and DORA.Throughout my career, I’ve: • Led global cybersecurity programs with multimillion-dollar budgets and distributed teams • Built governance models that improved enterprise-wide risk visibility and decision-making • Reduced vulnerability remediation timelines through standardized controls and metrics • Delivered regulatory and compliance initiatives ahead of evolving industry requirements • Strengthened vendor risk management and third-party security oversightMy leadership style is grounded in clarity, accountability, and collaboration. I focus on building high-performing teams, simplifying complex problems, and creating environments where security is seen as a business enabler—not a blocker.I’m particularly interested in advancing enterprise security strategy, scaling cloud security programs, and helping organizations navigate an increasingly complex threat and regulatory landscape. Open to connecting with leaders in cybersecurity, cloud, regulatory compliance and risk management.
