Nathan Case
Nathan Case is a nationally recognized cloud security expert who spent five years at Amazon Web Services establishing the security practices and guidance that thousands of organizations use today. He became AWS's first security consultant working with the U.S. Department of Defense, helping defense contractors and military organizations adopt cloud technology while maintaining strict security requirements for classified workloads. During his time at AWS, he authored some of their most widely-read security content, including "Top 10 Security Items to Improve in Your AWS Account," and contributed to foundational whitepapers on multi-account security architecture and well-architected. His work shaped how AWS customers think about threat detection, incident response, and security automation across services like GuardDuty and Security Hub.
Nathan's most impactful work came during the COVID-19 pandemic when he led security operations for Resilience, a biotech manufacturing company producing vaccines across 20 global sites. As Incident Commander, he successfully recovered a Canadian vaccine manufacturing facility from a cyber attack, earning personal recognition from the Canadian Ambassador for work that "saved thousands of lives"—one of the clearest examples of cybersecurity work with direct public health consequences.
Beyond his day-to-day roles, Nathan has become a sought-after speaker and advisor in the cybersecurity community. He's delivered technical presentations at major conferences, including AWS re:Invent, RSA Conference, and AWS re:Inforce, Black Hat, DefCon, and serves on advisory boards for Bain Capital Ventures, IANS Research, and the FedRAMP Advisory Board. His unique combination of hands-on expertise, critical infrastructure defense experience, and government advisory work gives him rare insight into both commercial and defense security challenges. Organizations turn to him when they need someone who can architect secure systems, respond to sophisticated attacks, and translate complex technical into actionable strategies for both executives and engineers.
