Summary
👤
SeniorDaniel Corbett is a hands-on cybersecurity product leader with 15+ years of experience building and scaling security infrastructure—from WAFs and bot mitigation to client-side PCI 4.0 tooling—currently shaping core platform capabilities as Principal Product Technology Manager at Fastly. He combines product strategy with active engineering, owning Fastly’s Next‑Gen WAF Terraform provider, prototyping detection systems, and contributing to the core WAF engine, which helps him translate complex security controls into deployable platform features. Daniel has a proven track record launching flagship offerings (Client‑Side Protection, Bot Management, WAF Simulator) and improving signal accuracy by 85% through smarter detection logic. His background includes running global SaaS initiatives and developer-focused productization at HAProxy, plus low-level operational security work early in his career that informs his “secure-by-default” design ethos. A regular speaker at RSA and BlackHat and a contributor to the core HAProxy codebase, he uniquely blends open-source craftsmanship with enterprise security GTM and escalation leadership. Based in Miami, he’s equally comfortable debugging TCP stacks as he is briefing analysts and enabling field teams.
