Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathan Drier is a senior offensive security leader with 15+ years building, scaling, and delivering world-class Red Team, Purple Team, and penetration testing services across enterprise and regulated environments. He architects practice-wide methodology, hires and trains elite consultants (having onboarded ~100), and creates the tooling, reporting, and sales enablement that turn technical findings into compelling client outcomes. Known for creative post-exploitation and a knack for turning low-severity issues into full compromise narratives, he’s spoken at Toorcon, been featured in Wired, and holds OSCP credentials. Nathan also brings hands-on expertise in hardware reverse engineering, OT and AI security, and has several CVEs to his name—evidence of an operator who still lands shells and finds real-world zero-days. Now at Sophos after a senior practice-architecture tenure at Secureworks, he combines strategic leadership with persistent technical curiosity from his base in Traverse City, Michigan.
