Daniel Yoder

I lead information security at a mid-size organization. I aim to develop a deep expertise across threat detection, NGFW policy management, cloud security, email security, and vulnerability management.

Things I've shipped that I'm proud of: lifting our BitSight score from red to green state, cutting our vulnerability surface by a real margin, running an Okta IAM migration to a Zero Trust baseline, and getting DMARC, DKIM, and SPF enforced across the org.

This blog is where I write up what I figure out.

tools I use daily

Palo Alto, Tenable, Microsoft Sentinel, Cortex XDR, Abnormal Security, Entra ID, Okta, KQL, PowerShell, Python.
