About

Most startup breaches are caused by stupid things—open S3 buckets, leaked creds, over-permissive IAM roles. You don’t need a big security team to avoid these. I help Seed to Series B startups prevent AWS security breaches fast — so their devs can build and their investors can sleep. In 14 days, I’ll help you go from “we know we need security” to “we’ve locked down the top 10 ways startups get breached.” If you’re a security engineer, CTO, or Director of Eng and want help making sure you’re not the next TechCrunch headline, DM me or visit badshah.io.
