Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Wilfahrt is a Senior Cybersecurity Engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable, automated solutions for compliance, vulnerability management, and remediation across AWS and hybrid environments. He specializes in shifting security left by improving visibility, simplifying processes, and driving automation that measurably reduces remediation time and exposure. Nick has led cross-functional programs implementing NIST, CIS, and SOC 2-aligned controls, decommissioned thousands of stale identities and security groups during SSO migrations, and operationalized CSPM and EDR pilots to inform production rollouts. He excels at breaking large initiatives into focused, achievable projects—delivering ISO and SOC-ready controls, CI/CD-integrated application security, and streamlined vulnerability workflows. Based in the Minneapolis–St. Paul area, he combines hands-on technical execution with pragmatic policy design to make security easier for engineering teams. An under-the-radar strength: he consistently turns noisy telemetry into actionable SRE/DevSecOps workflows that cut incident response and remediation timelines in half.
