Chris Santry

Technical Security Professional

I have extensive experience in safeguarding sensitive proprietary information from determined and well-equipped adversaries worldwide. I thrive in environments that prioritize science, technology, and innovation, recognizing that global and diverse teams are necessary to match the limitless imaginations of adversaries.

As an individual contributor, team member, and team leader, I possess a proven track record of selecting and implementing technological solutions to security issues. I have participated in projects that focus on combining diverse security data sources, such as user behavior logs, physical security system outputs, and network security data, to create a seamless toolchain for security analysts and internal customers. This approach enhances threat hunting capabilities through insightful visualizations and clear reporting.

In addition to being a trained and certified Red Teamer, I possess an adversarial mindset grounded in technical security expertise. My expertise extends beyond traditional cyber techniques, encompassing a broad range of technical close-access methods, such as close access and side-channel, that I have applied across multiple domains, including cyber, physical, personnel, and open source. I am personally interested in wireless security research and RFID security.

I am adept at advising and consulting on incident management processes, utilizing my training in communication and response planning, such as tabletop exercises and cross-functional lessons-learned sessions.

My passion for enhancing systems and processes through technology is evident in my strong background in software development. I have contributed to projects that improve the efficiency of security operations and incident response, working as a full-stack software developer in a variety of languages, frameworks, and methodologies.

Working in a global environment with dispersed teams of varying cultures and levels of seniority is familiar to me, and I am comfortable with minimal guidance. My recommendations are trusted by decision-makers, and when briefing seniors, I achieve impact. I am a natural networker and prioritize building meaningful relationships across functions to achieve mission objectives.
