NICE Cybersecurity Career Ambassador Finder
Jonathan Taylor
Former CISO/Security Architect
I’m a CISSP-certified security engineer with 13 years of experience securing hybrid IT environments for businesses ranging from small firms to regulated financial institutions. Most recently, I served as Information Security Officer at a Philadelphia-area company, where I operated as de facto CISO while staying hands-on with architecture and engineering.
My expertise spans cloud security, SIEM engineering, incident response, and compliance frameworks including NIST CSF, SOC 2, and ISO 27001.
I’ve advanced from system administrator to security leader by combining technical depth with a pragmatic, security-by-design approach. Whether rolling out SIEMs, engineering Azure migrations, or developing automation with Python and PowerShell, I focus on scalable solutions that enable business growth. Above all, I value collaboration and making cybersecurity practical for teams at every level of an organization and always eager to share my journey into cybersecurity with others.
