Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBrent Langston is a seasoned security and cloud technology executive with 14+ years delivering resilient, automated infrastructure and security programs across startups and hyperscale teams. As CISO at VisiQuate he built an integrated security program that blends risk, compliance, and automation while partnering closely with engineering to reduce operational friction and focus on high-impact threats. Previously at AWS he created widely used hands-on learning platforms like eksworkshop.com and ecsworkshop.com that have educated 100,000+ users and helped accelerate Kubernetes adoption. His background spans platform architecture, SRE, and DevOps—driving cloud migrations, containerization, and CI/CD transformations that cut deploy times and cloud spend dramatically. Brent pairs strategic leadership with deep, practical engineering skills (infrastructure-as-code, container orchestration, and deployment automation) and is an active open-source contributor. Based in Frisco, TX, he’s as likely to talk about BBQ and travel as he is about reducing mean time to recovery.
