Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChris Clarkson is a Security Architect specialising in risk-led vulnerability management, cloud and platform security across AWS, GCP and Azure, and secure software supply chains. With over a decade of experience working from board-level strategy to hands-on engineering, he helps organisations embed pragmatic guardrails and DevSecOps automation that accelerate delivery rather than impede it. He’s founded and run consultancies delivering Zero Trust, SCA/SBOM governance and GitOps-driven secure SDLCs, and has led large programmes in finance, consumer tech and regulated public sector environments. Notable strengths include translating vulnerability noise into risk-prioritised remediation workflows and integrating vulnerability intelligence into SIEM/SOAR and CI/CD pipelines. Comfortable operating on fractional and contract engagements, he focuses on measurable remediation effectiveness and clear decision accountability rather than piling on tools. Based in the UK, he combines a software engineering background (Golang, Python, IaC) with deep practical experience in shifting security left at scale.
