Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Hering is a Security Lead based in San Francisco with 11 years of experience bridging hands-on Linux administration and strategic security engineering for fast-growing SaaS companies. He has built security programs end-to-end—founding red team initiatives, designing multi-tenant and BYOK architectures, and creating identity and zero-trust systems that replaced legacy VPNs and AD models. His career blends deep operational chops (LAMP, monitoring, backups, BASH, VoIP, cloud providers) with leadership at scale, growing remote-first security teams and aligning engineering priorities with C-suite risk tolerance. Benjamin has a track record of turning noisy vulnerability data into actionable remediation processes and instituting SLAs that make security measurable and collaborative. He’s comfortable moving from firmware-to-cloud—remediating incidents, hardening infrastructure, and advising product teams early in design to avoid costly rework. A mathematician by training (BA Math & Economics), he brings analytical rigor and a practical, empathy-driven management style that emphasizes sustainable security over heroics.
