Focused consulting for AWS, Linux and infrastructure security
I help organizations reduce infrastructure risk where security, operations and architecture overlap.
1. Infrastructure Risk Assessment
A structured review of your AWS, Linux or hybrid environment to identify the risks that matter most and define a practical remediation path.
Best fit when:
- backlog is growing
- architecture has evolved without review
- incidents keep recurring
- compliance pressure is increasing
Typical outcomes:
- clear risk picture
- prioritized findings
- architectural observations
- remediation roadmap
2. Remediation Prioritization
Most teams do not lack vulnerability data. They lack a way to turn it into the right engineering work.
I help you translate findings from scanners, benchmarks and compliance pressure into a plan based on real exposure, operational risk and business relevance.
Best fit when:
- scanner output is overwhelming
- teams argue about what matters
- patching is risky
- findings are being deferred without confidence
Typical outcomes:
- better prioritization
- clearer engineering tasks
- improved security/operations alignment
- backlog reduction that does not create instability
3. Platform Hardening
Hardening is useful only when it can be implemented and sustained in a live environment.
I help strengthen Linux and cloud platforms with practical hardening measures that improve consistency and reduce unnecessary exposure.
Best fit when:
- baseline drift is visible
- systems are inconsistent
- hardening guidance is too generic
- teams need a workable path, not just a benchmark
Typical outcomes:
- improved consistency
- reduced attack surface
- clearer baseline decisions
- fewer risky workarounds
4. Fractional Security Architecture
Ongoing senior support for organizations that need experienced judgment around infrastructure, security and platform design without hiring a full-time architect.
Best fit when:
- complex decisions have no clear owner
- teams need an experienced technical counterpart
- recurring issues span multiple domains
- leadership needs grounded security advice
Typical outcomes:
- stronger decisions
- better cross-team alignment
- continuity in architecture work
- less reactivity around security issues
How I work
My value is highest where the problem does not sit neatly in one box:
- between AWS and Linux
- between security requirements and operational reality
- between patching policy and production stability
- between architecture diagrams and how the platform actually behaves
That is where expensive problems hide.
Start with the clearest first step
For most clients, the best first engagement is the Infrastructure Risk Assessment.
