Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolDrew Webber is a Senior Principal Offensive Security Engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience securing web applications and infrastructure, currently leading red and purple team efforts at Acquia from the UK. A long-standing Drupal Core maintainer and member of the Drupal Security Team, he’s credited on 80+ security advisories and builds tooling such as the “Drop the Ripper” password auditor. Certified across offensive disciplines (OSCP, OSWE, OSEP, CREST CPSA) he blends deep exploit development and risk assessment with practical security engineering—scripting automation, eBPF-based monitoring, and cloud alerting. Drew’s background as a Drupal developer and longtime support lead gives him rare empathy for platform maintainers and operators when designing mitigations. He mentors teams, leads incident response and forensics, and consults on secure architecture, regularly translating complex vulnerabilities into actionable fixes. Quietly, his career trajectory from building Drupal sites and migration tools to steering enterprise offensive security illustrates a persistent focus on pragmatic, scalable defenses.
