Nick Frichette — Security Engineer
I am a Staff Security Researcher at Datadog, specializing in offensive security within AWS environments. My focus is on discovering new attack vectors targeting AWS services, environments, and applications. From this research, I develop detection methods and preventive measures to secure these systems. My work often leads to the discovery of vulnerabilities within AWS itself, and I collaborate closely with Amazon to ensure they are remediated. I have presented my research at major industry conferences, including Black Hat USA, DEF CON, fwd:cloudsec, and others. In addition to my professional work, I created and maintain Hacking the Cloud, an open-source encyclopedia that provides offensive security professionals step-by-step guides on cloud hacking. I hold certifications including OSCP, OSWE, GPEN, GXPN, and AWS Certified Security Specialist. For more about my work and to read my blog, visit https://frichetten.com.
