Summary
Christopher Freytes is a DevSecOps and cybersecurity professional with a decade of experience building secure, cloud-native infrastructure and automating compliance for enterprise environments. At Cigna he architected Terraform-driven, zero-trust AWS deployments and CI/CD pipelines that cut vulnerabilities and breach risk substantially while achieving SOC 1 Type II and HiTrust goals. His Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve roles add four-plus years of operational cyber defense experience protecting national security systems and running security operations at scale. He pairs data-driven engineering from prior data analyst and data scientist roles with hands-on security tooling—Okta, GuardDuty, Inspector, Macie, WAF—and a proven track record of improving uptime and incident response. A Brown MS in Cyber Security and selection for multiple competitive NASA programs highlight his technical rigor and cross-discipline curiosity. He’s equally comfortable translating compliance requirements into automated controls as he is leading cross-functional teams to deploy resilient, multi-tenant services.
