Summary
🤩
RockstarBren Briggs is a seasoned information security and DevSecOps leader with 11 years of experience building resilient cloud-native infrastructure and security programs across startups, enterprise, and military environments. Currently Vice President of Information Security at Hypergiant, he has risen through technical and leadership roles shaping secure CI/CD, Kubernetes, Terraform, and infrastructure-as-code practices. A pragmatic Linux evangelist and former combat communications airman, he uniquely combines field-hardened operational discipline with modern DevOps and incident response expertise. Bren actively contributes to open-source projects—improving build and CI/test infrastructure for notable projects like Oppia—and prefers fixing systems by breaking them first. He’s a natural mentor and community builder who emphasizes immutability, ephemerality, and teachable automation to make security an enabler rather than a bottleneck.
