Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNathan Hunstad is a security leader with 8+ years in senior roles, currently directing Security Engineering and Operations at Vanta after leading cyber and application security programs at Code42, Albertsons, and Best Buy. He blends hands-on technical depth—SIEM, TVM, SAST/DAST, SOAR, cloud (AWS), malware analysis and insider risk—with program and team leadership that has driven measurable TVM and DevSecOps maturity. Nathan has repeatedly built and operated logging, orchestration, and threat-hunting capabilities while embedding security into development lifecycles and large IAM migrations. He pairs an MS in Security Technology with a background in policy and politics, giving him a pragmatic risk-focused lens that spans governance to low-level analysis. Colleagues rely on him to translate attacker TTP research into automated detection and remediation that scales across enterprise environments.
