Hi, I'm Alexander Hose 👋 - a cloud security strategist and 2x author
As an AWS Community Builder and Google Developer Expert, my mission is to help leaders and practitioners simplify cloud security. I don't just focus on risks; I provide the practical strategies and clear playbooks you need to master cloud complexity and turn security into a business enabler.
This blog is where I share everything I've learned. Here, you'll find in-depth articles and actionable guides designed to help you:
🧭 Navigate the complexities of AWS and GCP security with confidence.
🛡️ Build robust, scalable security solutions from the ground up.
🚀 Enable your organization to innovate securely and at speed.
My Journey to the Cloud ☁️
My passion for the cloud began in 2019. While studying for my AWS Solutions Architect certification, I saw the immense potential for businesses to thrive by leveraging the cloud's power and simplicity.
Since then, I've dedicated my career to this space. Before specializing in cloud security, I led application security projects and provided technology M&A services, giving me a unique perspective on how security functions across diverse organizations - from startups to global enterprises. This background taught me a crucial lesson: the best security strategy is one that aligns perfectly with business objectives.
Beyond the Keyboard ☕
When I’m not architecting security solutions, you can find me exploring the latest tech trends, hunting for new gadgets, or planning my next trip. I’m also a fitness enthusiast and a foodie who believes a midnight gym session is the best way to clear your head.
