Senior🎓
Top SchoolRowan Udell is the founder of AuditReady.Cloud and an AWS Security Consultant with 14+ years building secure, compliance-ready cloud systems for startups through enterprise transformations. One of only ten AWS Security Heroes globally, he specializes in IAM, AWS Identity Center, and preparing teams for SOC2, ISO 27001 and PCI audits without hiring full-time security staff. He helps organisations tame organically grown AWS environments and recently applies that expertise to the emerging problem of agentic AI security—designing least-privilege IAM, identity lifecycle and auditability for Bedrock AgentCore and tool-using agents. A hands-on engineer and author of The Practical AWS IAM Guide, Rowan has contributed to the popular Serverless Framework by improving AWS SDK integrations and credential handling. He blends technical leadership with practical training and workshops, and often bridges audit requirements with developer velocity. Based in Queensland, Australia, he combines deep AWS product knowledge with a pragmatic focus on making autonomous systems auditable and secure.
