Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrian Ray is a Distinguished Engineer specializing in agentic AI and security, currently building foundational platforms and autonomous workflows for Netskope's AI-driven threat detection and DLP. With 15+ years across defense, startups, and enterprise—most recently as an L7 Sr Staff Engineer at Google and VP of Engineering at Mandiant—he blends deep distributed-systems architecture with practical ML and security ops. He pioneered Google's open-source Security AI MCP server and the SecOps Wrapper SDK, tools that helped operationalize generative and agentic AI for real-world threat response. As a founder who exited a VC-backed IoT company and a former Navy communications officer, he brings rare experience spanning productization, secure embedded systems, and operational discipline. Brian focuses on integrating advanced AI into cloud-native infrastructure (AWS EKS/Fargate) to deliver scalable, autonomous security outcomes. He’s driven by building core components that move teams beyond human-in-the-loop detection toward practical autonomous defense.
