Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAndy Pitcher is a senior Security Engineer based in France with 9 years of experience specializing in cloud-native and product security, Linux hardening, compliance (STIG, CIS) and DFIR. Currently at SUSE he drives hardening and compliance for Rancher and Kubernetes distributions, maintains SELinux policies and contributes to kube-bench, embedding threat modeling and secure defaults into product lifecycles. His background spans infrastructure security, automated deployment of detection and prevention controls, and hands-on incident response from roles at Orange Business Services, ALDO Group and multiple hosting providers. Andy blends offensive and defensive expertise—teaching DevSecOps topics like container and Terraform security while performing deep code reviews and building detection capabilities—and has a track record of turning compliance requirements into practical, automated controls. An M.Eng. in Information Systems Security and long history of Linux systems work give him rare depth across OS, Kubernetes and application layers.
