Benson brings deep experience across the security stack—from securing connected devices and embedded systems to quantifying and reducing cloud attack surfaces and enforcing encryption standards. He brings a threat-informed perspective to cloud architecture—helping enterprises defend against today’s advanced attack techniques and tomorrow’s unknown risks.

Sr. Principal Product Marketing Manager

Deepak is a Staff Engineer, Detection & Response at Aviatrix, specializing in detection engineering and adversary behavior analysis. He collaborates with cross-functional teams to identify emerging threats, design high-signal detections, and strengthen response capabilities across complex cloud and hybrid infrastructures.

Staff Engineer - Detection and Response

Matt leads lead Detection & Response efforts at Aviatrix, working closely with internal security teams and external partners to identify, investigate, and respond to potential threats. His role spans strategic oversight and hands-on execution to ensure a strong security posture across complex, distributed environments.

Principal Engineer/Lead - Detection and Response

I’m a Senior MTS – Detection & Response at Aviatrix, focused on detection engineering, incident response, and proactive threat hunting across multicloud environments. I help lead our mission to identify, investigate, and mitigate threats across corporate and production environments—operating a 24×7 SOC and aligning detection engineering with incident response best practices. My background spans SIEM operations, cloud security, and threat hunting, and I contribute to Aviatrix’s Security Research initiatives, analyzing how advances in AI influence and evolve our security landscape.

Senior MTS - Detection and Response

I am a cybersecurity professional specializing in threat detection, incident response, and cloud security. My writing focuses on breaking down real-world attacks, security research, and detection engineering into clear, actionable insights for defenders. Through my research blogs, I explore emerging threat techniques and modern approaches to security operations, including the use of AI in defense.
