Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSergio Garcia is a security researcher with 7 years of experience specializing in AI and cloud security, identity-centric attack paths, and scalable threat detection. Based in Miami, he helped found and architect Prowler's core Python SDK and threat research, processing over 150 million security findings and maintaining 1,000+ cloud security controls across AWS, Azure, GCP and Kubernetes. At Openbank he built a cloud threat detection strategy and automated remediation that cut MTTR by 40% while reducing high-privilege access by over 75%, and at Amazon he launched a production threat-intel service that serves 100k+ daily queries. Now at BeyondTrust, he continues to blend hands-on engineering with research-driven defenses, and his open-source work improving Prowler’s JSON and AWS Security Hub output highlights a focus on practical interoperability and incident readiness. Notably, he combines financial-sector security rigor with startup-scale engineering—making large-scale telemetry useful for both compliance and rapid response.
