I’m the creator of Prowler, the most widely used open-source multi-cloud security tool, and the founder and CEO of Prowler.
With a background as a Senior Security Engineer and Senior Security Consultant at AWS, I have dedicated my career to building practical, scalable security solutions that help organizations secure their cloud environments with transparency and efficiency. I am deeply passionate about Free Libre Open-Source Software (FLOSS) and I actively advocate for open cloud security, democratizing access to security tools, and fostering a global community around security, incident response, and digital forensics.
I like everything related to cloud computing and automation. Over the last 25 years done some things for security and the Open Source community like phpRADmin, Nagios plugins, Alfresco BART (backup tool). I’ve also contributed in books and courses related to Linux, Monitoring and AWS Security for Packt Publishing. I spoke on many conferences including BlackHat, DEFCON, RootedCon, BSides around the world and many others.
I worked for Amazon Web Services as Senior Security Consultant and Senior Security Engineer. Before of that, I worked for Alfresco Software as Senior Security Architect, Lead of Security Operations, Product Security, Principal Solutions Engineer and Training (yeah, I did a lot of things in almost 10 years!). I also used to work for Systems Integrator and a Security consultancy doing a variety of tasks all of them related to Systems Administration, Security, Networking, Training and Open Source related projects.
My blog is blyx.com (you may know that already), where I write from time to time. During this time I have done some things for security and the Open Source community like phpRADmin, Nagios plugin for Alfresco, Alfresco BART (backup tool), Alfresco Backup and Disaster Recovery White Paper, Alfresco Security Best Practices Guide, Alfresco data leak prevention tools, and some others. You can find my course about AWS Data Security that I wrote for PacktPub here and about Cloud Forensics here (in Spanish). I also helped to write these books: Building a Home Security System with BeagleBone (PacktPub 2013), Icinga Network Monitoring (PacktPub 2013) and Troubleshooting CentOS 7 (PacktPub 2015).
I know few things about Linux, Security, AWS, Sizing and Architecture, Docker, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, Storage, forensics, virtualization, automation and configuration management, hardening IT systems and I like to learn, teach and do public talks.
Started my career when I was only 18 years old, building and fixing PCs in a world plenty of WinNT and 95, so I didn’t/couldn’t go to college but as a self-taught person, I love what I do. I put passion in all what I’m involved and I enjoy every minute learning new technologies and its security.
