Eric John is a Senior Security Engineer with 11 years of hands-on experience protecting complex, MacOS-heavy corporate environments and driving incident response across endpoints, cloud, and SaaS. He has architected Zero Trust network transformations, hardened endpoint fleets, and deployed enterprise detection tools that serve entire organizations. At companies from Google to Niantic and now Lightning AI, he blends deep digital forensics expertise with practical engineering to reduce detection-to-remediation times and minimize business disruption. Eric favors collaborative security—framing policy and tooling changes to address stakeholder concerns so security becomes an enabler rather than a blocker. He has contributed tooling and investigation methods used in large-scale live and disk forensics workflows and automated Chrome configuration pipelines to speed internal security operations. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he combines technical breadth with a pragmatic focus on usability and measurable risk reduction.
