Summary
Yuri Novikov is a Principal Security Consultant with two decades of IT experience and a decade focused in security roles, currently helping Mandiant/Google Cloud clients strengthen cloud, network, and application defenses. He blends hands-on offensive security expertise (OSCP, CEH) with strategic advisory skills (CISSP, AWS Security, MBA in Technology & Innovation), guiding complex transformational projects from assessment to long-term partnerships. Yuri’s background spans deep technical work—pen testing, architecture reviews, cloud migrations, and SDLC integration—plus infrastructure engineering across VMware, Kubernetes, and AWS. He is equally comfortable with low-level network analysis and high-level risk communication, often turning bespoke technical findings into pragmatic remediation plans that stick. An unusual combination of web/branding roots and formal business training gives him a rare ability to translate security controls into product and stakeholder value. Based in Pickering, Ontario, he brings proven cross-functional leadership across enterprise, telco, and public-sector environments.
