@noahklapprodt
Senior cybersecurity leader building scalable cyber defense, incident response, and risk operations to turn technical threats into business decisions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a senior cybersecurity leader with experience across Fortune 100 enterprise security, Big 4 consulting, and practice leadership in global cybersecurity firms. I build and mature cyber defense and security operations programs that strengthen detection, response, governance, and operational resilience—especially in complex, regulated environments.
As Head of Cyber Defense Operations at 3M, I partnered with executive leadership to deliver a multi-million-dollar cyber defense transformation spanning governance, workforce, service delivery, and technology. I formalized incident response governance, rationalized SIEM data, and drove automation and AI-driven detection improvements while maintaining operational continuity through leadership transitions.
I also led North America incident response as Practice Director, Incident Response—driving service delivery accountability, workforce planning, utilization, budget oversight, and team performance. I served as a senior escalation leader during high-stakes incidents, advised CISOs and executives through response decisions and communications, and helped clients translate incident learnings into longer-term security and resilience improvements.
Earlier, I led Managed Defense capabilities for Mandiant / Google Cloud across U.S. Central and Latin America and supported threat intelligence operations at PwC, improving intelligence operating models and integration with SOC and security functions. I began my career as a Cyber Systems Manager in the United States Air Force, where I operated mission-critical communications in demanding joint environments, and I’ve maintained credentials including CISSP and ITIL v3 Foundations.
