Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolEric Westfall is a Distinguished Engineer in security with over a decade of experience designing secure, highly available cloud systems and leading high-impact governance programs for enterprise and national-security customers. He helped shape AWS Cloud Governance and Security capabilities—contributing research that directly influenced IAM, Systems Manager, Config, and Control Tower features—and now brings that deep product and threat-led perspective to HubSpot. Eric pairs hands-on engineering in Python, Go, and Terraform with offensive research techniques he developed at AWS, where he built an internal attack framework and discovered multiple high-severity vulnerabilities. His background as a former nation-state cyber operator and DoD cyber SME gives him uncommon operational insight into adversary tradecraft and resilient system design. Outside work he volunteers as a FEMA Technical Rescue Specialist and is a licensed private pilot, reflecting a practical, mission-focused mindset that informs his security leadership.
