Hey all -- Kevin Southwick here, open to contract, consulting, and FTE opportunities.
I've spent 15 years in cybersecurity across a range of roles and environments. Most recently I've been deep in AWS cloud security, building AWSight (
awsight.com), a no nonsense CSPM platform that runs automated security checks across AWS environments. That work has kept me sharp on the infrastructure and tooling side, but my background is broader than cloud.
What I bring:
• Cloud security assessments and posture management across AWS environments
• IAM architecture, hardening, and least-privilege design
• Vulnerability assessment and hands-on remediation
• Compliance program support and audit readiness
• Security architecture review for cloud-native and hybrid environments
• Incident response planning and tabletop support
• Experience with both startup and enterprise environments
• Originally have a SOC, threat modelling, and DFIR background
• Active certs include: CCSP and AWS Certified Security - Specialty
I'm comfortable going heads-down on a specific engagement, embedding with an existing security team, or taking on a broader advisory role depending on what you need. I've worked across commercial and government environments: SAM registered, CAGE code confirmed, GovCloud experience.
US-based, fully remote, available now.
