I am

Steve Giguere

Cyber Security and Cloud Native Enthusiast

Hello!

I started my cybersecurity life by being kicked out of my high school computing class for privilege escalation on the school linux system and changing all passwords to "peaches" (my friend’s dog's name). But that was a long time ago.


Since then I've experienced a wide breadth of technologies throughout a career in the aero, telecoms and automotive industry improving quality, safety, velocity and efficiency.


Currently I am enjoying life as a Developer Advocate with Bridgecrew (by Palo Alto) specialising in Cloud and Infrastructure Security Automation. Prior to this I was a Solution Architect for StackRox and Aqua Security specialising in container and kubernetes security and also previously spent several years Synopsys establishing DevSecOps best practices for enterprise CI/CD pipelines.


I also have killer new podcast called CoSeCast - The Continuous Security Podcast, a personal blog and podcast called Codifyre, and represent Great Britain at playing Ultimate Frisbee.

What I do

Talk Good

Public Speaking at Meetups and Conferences about DevSecOps.

Coding

Python is my "goto" language but I'm sniffing around Golang.

Music

You need to keep the creative side sharp. I play guitar and drums.

Writing and Podcasting

I love to blog and record podcasts. Look me up on iTunes
