Welcome to my corner of the internet, I’m Bart Briek and I’m a Cloud security engineer that loves to scale security engineering and monitoring, by connecting software and infrastructure systems and data flows. If you’re looking for witty banter, honest opinions, or just some good old-fashioned geekery on cloud security architecture and tooling, you’ve come to the right place! When I’m not behind my computer screen, you can either find me under a tree hopefully enjoying the sun and reading a good book or binge-watch the latest TV shows on Netflix or other streaming platforms.

Often I found myself learning on the fly and wished I had a resource handy that could give me more context on why something is needed rather than the manual itself. Where does the implementation fit into the bigger picture, how do I securely implement it, and which decisions I actually have to make in order to come to my desired outcome.

On this blog, you can expect a mix of theory and security tools explained with practical implementation examples, in order to increase the security posture of a platform. One thing that’s certain is that this blog will be a labor of love – and by “love,” I mean “a slightly frustrating but ultimately rewarding experience.” You can expect me to poke fun at myself when I’m being ridiculous, share my genuine enthusiasm for new projects, and occasionally reveal the depths of my nerdiness.
