Summary
Arthur Johnston is an infrastructure security engineer lead with 14 years of experience building and automating large-scale vulnerability scanning and inventory systems at Salesforce and Microsoft. He specializes in runtime and DAST tooling—operationalizing Nessus, Qualys, ZAP and Whitehat across multi-region cloud environments—and has architected ETL and orchestration pipelines that turn disparate inventory data into actionable TVM insights. A hands-on manager and Scrum Master, he combines technical ownership (Python, Ruby, Go, Azure) with fiscal and headcount planning to align security engineering roadmaps with business priorities. His background ranges from avionics electrical engineering to embedded UI work, which gives him a practical systems-thinking perspective uncommon in cloud security leaders. Known as the go-to SME for Security, Software, and Agile practices, he also drives diversity-minded hiring and long-range planning to scale secure operations.
