Hello, I'm Johnson Thiang

I'm a seasoned cybersecurity leader with over a decade of experience in securing enterprise applications and cloud infrastructure. Currently serving as Technical Lead at Bitdefender, I specialize in backend and cloud security solutions across multiple cloud platforms including AWS, GCP, Azure, and Alibaba Cloud.

My expertise spans penetration testing, red teaming, cloud security, AI automation, and compliance with standards such as ISO27001, SOC2, PCI-DSS, and MAS-TRM. I lead engineering and research teams, developing innovative detection and remediation solutions for cloud misconfigurations while serving as a trusted advisor on security strategy and risk assessment.

Throughout my career, I've been passionate about mentoring junior professionals, researching emerging security trends, and implementing best practices that protect organizations from evolving cyber threats.
