Summary
Tyler Kempt is a Cybersecurity Lead with a decade of hands-on IT and security experience, based in Port Hope, Ontario, who has progressed from systems administration to leading governance, risk and compliance for community health services. He builds and operationalizes security programs aligned to NIST CSF and CIS Controls, drives threat risk assessments mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, and is actively working toward a zero-trust posture for healthcare systems. Tyler combines practical infrastructure expertise (AD, M365, vSphere/Hyper-V, SD-WAN) with pragmatic controls—EDR, DLP, backups following a 3-2-1-1-0 principle—and manages IAM and vendor SLAs to keep clinical systems resilient. He designs and delivers organization-wide security awareness, incident response plans and tabletop exercises, and contributes to regional open-source threat intelligence and guidance through a health-sector community of practice. Colleagues rely on him for translating regulatory requirements (PHIPA, cyber insurance) into measurable program maturity and board-level reporting. A former tutor and frontline Apple support agent, he brings patient communication skills and a systems-thinking approach uncommon in many security leaders.
