Top SchoolKenichi Shibata is a Security Architect with a decade of hands-on experience designing and securing cloud-native platforms across finance, media, and insurance. He has driven end-to-end cloud and DevSecOps transformations—implementing CNAPPs, building security telemetry and zero-trust patterns, and leading vendor RFPs and cross-functional teams at organisations like G-Research and esure.

Known for translating vulnerability scans into strategic roadmaps, he also mentors engineers and evangelises secure-by-design platform practices. A pragmatic technologist, Kenichi combines platform engineering roots with a security-first mindset to turn complex cloud estates into measurable, auditable systems.
