Patrick Linnane is a security leader with over a decade of hands-on experience building enterprise SOCs and modernizing access architectures across cloud and hybrid environments. As Senior Director, Information Security Operations at Emburse he built the company's first centralized SOC across 13 business units, led CNAPP/SIEM deployments, and advises the CTO on enterprise AI strategy and governance. He combines practical ops experience—threat intelligence, vulnerability response, and identity-orchestrated access—with a strategic lens on supply chain and OSS ecosystem integrity. Outside the enterprise, he is a Lead Maintainer and security lead for Homebrew, stewarding package signing, coordinated disclosure, and governance for a project serving tens of millions of developers. Patrick’s work bridges policy and hands-on engineering, from automating build/release updates in Homebrew repos to shaping measurable architectural pivots rather than one-off tooling refreshes. Based in California, he’s actively interested in conversations about supply chain security, OSS governance, and AI risk that balance measurable outcomes with realistic operational tradeoffs.
