About Patrick Leggett

From the time I took apart my parents desktop computer in order to see how things worked, to the times in college where I spent a whole weekend trying to perfect a music project in Logic, I was able to discover the kind of joy and determination that only comes when you really enjoy something, to lose your sense of place and time. I was able to finally find that place in a professional context starting in grad school when diving into Linux in grad school to edit.php files for a cloud server, then later on in the workplace when deep threat hunting in a SIEM using behavioral tracing methods, or by configuring security infrastructure in AWS. Part of my work as a security analyst involves applying this energy so that an organization\'s data and networks are protected through important safeguards such as monitoring logs, correct firewall configuration, and strong compliance/governance. It is a joy that has also transferred to AWS Security and making sure that data is encrypted in transit and at rest with the proper guardrails in place using services such as AWS Security Hub, KMS, and CloudFront. I also have a passion for testing open-source software such as Cloudsploit and other security tools such as Trend Micro Cloud One and Crowdstrike Falcon in order to find the best way forward for any organization. If you have a minute, feel free to reach out! I\'m always open for a chat so that we can discuss how I can help further your company\'s security goals.
