About
Austin Van Arsdale is a cybersecurity engineer and consultant who builds, deploys, and operates the systems that protect enterprise environments — not someone who delivers a PDF and walks away. With over 15 years of hands-on experience across detection engineering, cloud security, incident response, and penetration testing, every engagement is rooted in operational reality.
The approach is straightforward: understand the threat landscape, engineer targeted defenses, automate what can be automated, and leave the organization stronger than before. Specializations include SIEM and SOAR architecture, ML-driven threat detection, privileged access management, and DevSecOps integration across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.
Previous and current engagements include the City of San Diego, CVS Health, NetApp, QBE Insurance Group, Dollar General Corporation, and Brookdale Senior Living.
