Manuel Leos Rivas

With over two decades in the information security field, I specialize in cloud security architecture, incident response, and application protection. I currently serve as a Cloud Security Architect at Backblaze, where I lead efforts in automation, threat detection, and vulnerability management. Prior to that, I worked at AWS Professional Services and Thales, helping enterprise and public sector clients implement scalable and secure cloud solutions. I hold dozens of industry certifications, including GIAC GSE, CISSP, and multiple CompTIA and AWS credentials. I actively give back to the cybersecurity community as a subject matter expert for several GIAC and CompTIA cloud and security certifications, and have earned top placements in multiple cyber security tournaments like NCL and SANS NetWars.
