Summary
Charles Frank is a Principal SAP enterprise security lead with nine years of focused experience driving threat detection, vulnerability management and incident response across large enterprises including Apple and Wells Fargo. He combines deep SAP ETD expertise and hands-on IR with modern GenAI workflows—having integrated GEMINI and ChatGPT to build, tune and map detection rules to MITRE ATT&CK at scale. A former adjunct professor who teaches malware analysis and computational thinking, he pairs academic rigor (PhD work in Cyber Operations) with practical engineering like ABAP authorization checks, Sonar/Java remediation, and cloud security architectures. Known for obsessive attention to adversary behavior and "vibe coding," he blends threat hunting, ML-informed detection design and developer collaboration to reduce attack surface and remediate supply-chain and code-level risks.
