Cody Martin
I'm an Information Security Professional, currently working with Leviathan Security Group. My role at Leviathan is primarily a Sales Engineer however, I actively collaborate with cross-functional teams across revenue operations, program and project management, as well as our Risk Advisory and Technical Services operations reporting directly to multiple C-Level executives.
About me
I’ve spent nearly seven years immersed in the world of cybersecurity. My career has taken me through a diverse array of roles, each contributing to my multifaceted expertise:
- With a strong formal education in secure software engineering, I helped to develop integral tools to improve operations both internal and external for well known aviation and shipbuilding organizations.
- For effectively six years I worked directly with multi-national enterprises to assist with their M&A due dilligence and bolster existing security programs year after year. I have extensive experience in multiple domains including GRC (ISO27k, SOC, HIPAA, PCI, CMMC), mobile, web, network (Windows & Linux), Active Directory, network appliances, native applications and thick clients, medical products, DevSecOps practices, and cloud environments (GCP, Azure, and AWS)
- My tenure as a sales engineer at a respected cybersecurity consulting firm allowed me to bridge the gap between technical accumen and business strategy. I’ve collaborated with C-Level executives, translating complex solutions into tangible value for clients.
My impact on an organization extends beyond job titles. Here’s where my cross-functional prowess shines:
- I work closely with PMO, HR, IT, and other departments to drive positive change and revenue growth by streamlining workflows, enhancing efficiency, and reimagining existing processes.
- Champion the development of low maintenance in-house tools and evaluated external solutions. I’ve ensured that our tech stacks work for us, not the other way around.
- Build strong connections with partners—both new and existing.
- Recognize market demands and spearhead the creation of innovative services and products.
Whether it’s a complex technical puzzle or a strategic challenge, I thrive on finding solutions. Continuous improvement isn’t just a buzzword—it’s my driving force. My passion accompanies me wherever I go. From code to boardrooms, I bring curiosity, dedication, and a hunger for progress.
