Deonte Caesar

I’m a Senior Security Engineer with experience securing cloud and enterprise environments across Fortune 100, healthcare, and SaaS organizations. I specialize in AWS/Azure security, identity and access management, and vulnerability remediation, with a proven track record of reducing risk and improving compliance posture. I’ve supported security assurance efforts enabling $100M+ in revenue while saving organizations hundreds of thousands in cloud costs.

In my roles, I’ve led enterprise data security initiatives across AWS, Azure, and Active Directory—enforcing least-privilege IAM, strengthening HIPAA/HITRUST/NIST alignment, and implementing encryption and network segmentation controls. I’ve also driven continuous vulnerability management and improved remediation timelines using tools like Nessus, Wiz, Burp Suite, Nmap, and Prisma Cloud, while owning customer security due diligence that helped close 150+ deals. I bring strong program-building energy, including launching security capabilities from 0 to 1 and improving compliance maturity by 40% through ZenGRC (NIST CSF), plus supporting FedRAMP, SOC 2, and ISO 27001 initiatives.
