Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRyan Kane is a cybersecurity consultant and GRC leader with 14+ years of experience designing and operationalizing risk, privacy, and compliance programs across Fortune 500 firms, federal agencies, and healthcare environments. He has led full RMF/ATO lifecycles for classified DoD environments, scaled enterprise monitoring and FIM deployments for thousands of systems, and built proactive threat-hunting capabilities that uncovered gaps automated tools missed. Known for translating complex regulatory frameworks (DoD RMF, NIST, FISMA, HIPAA) into pragmatic policies and measurable remediation plans, he also drives cost-conscious security decisions—once cutting $100k in annual spend by decommissioning an underused tool. Comfortable briefing CISOs and DoD leadership, Ryan blends technical depth with cross-functional stakeholder influence and a strong audit-readiness track record. Unusually for a security leader, his background includes a BS in kinesiology and a high-GPA MS in Applied IT, reflecting both analytical rigor and adaptability.
