Chris Brodeur — Director, Managed Security Operations
Security leader with a builder's mindset.

I lead security operations at scale, overseeing SOC, threat operations, and vulnerability management delivery across managed services environments. My work sits at the intersection of detection engineering, team development, and operational excellence.

I specialize in building high-performing teams through periods of rapid growth, bringing structure to ambiguity, and driving long-term sustainable success. I take an engineering-minded approach to everything from staffing models and service delivery to detection logic and incident response.

Currently focused on operational transformation, detection-as-code practices, and advancing the maturity of managed security delivery.
