Stanley Paul
@stanleypaul
Lead Security Engineer and Security Architect delivering Zero Trust, detection, and resilient incident response.
What I'm looking for
I’m a security engineer and architect with 10+ years protecting healthcare, research, enterprise, and government environments where outages, data loss, and weak controls have immediate consequences. I provide security consultation and practical guidance across Zero Trust, network, cloud, identity, data protection, application security, detection, and incident response—translating risk into clear architecture decisions, guardrails, remediation priorities, and stakeholder-ready guidance.
In my recent roles, I’ve engineered security architectures and control integrations across large healthcare and research environments, led alert triage and incident command support by correlating SIEM, EDR/XDR, NDR, and network logs, and guided teams with architecture tradeoffs that connect technical decisions to patient safety and service availability. I’ve also driven high-impact protections such as reducing malicious traffic by approximately 95% through Imperva WAF policy design while preserving access to clinical workflows, and I’m known for turning technical findings into actionable ownership and remediation paths.
