Summary
Alexander Sverdlov is a cybersecurity founder and practitioner with 11+ years of hands-on experience building security programs for SaaS, fintech, and infrastructure-heavy organizations. As founder and Virtual CISO of Atlant Security (and now Venvera), he delivers NIST 800-53 v5-aligned architectures, deep cloud and endpoint audits, and rapid improvements clients see within 30 days. His consulting pedigree includes Microsoft and a year on-site at the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation, demonstrating comfort with both enterprise and national‑critical environments. He favors pragmatic, 90% open-source stacks that scale without inflating headcount, and has repeatedly turned high-risk environments into “investor-ready” postures. Early roles in incident response and banking security taught him how to operationalize defenses and reduce incidents dramatically, not just write policies. Based in Sofia, he combines strategic advisory skills with boots‑on‑the‑ground remediation experience for teams facing due diligence or compliance pressure.
