Aakash Shah

I've spent over two decades in information security, and it's taken me across many roles: building security products, leading product and engineering organizations, shaping security strategy for the world's largest companies, driving foundational research, contributing to industry standards, and teaching information security courses.

My work has spanned cyber-physical device security, trusted computing, tamper-resistant systems, cryptography, enterprise security, infra/network/cloud security, identity & access mgmt, devops, software engineering, AI and more. The last decade has been startup life — most notably co-founding oak9, a Security as Code automation platform for building security into cloud-native architectures, which I led through its acquisition.
