Hi. I’m Matt.

Hi, I’m Matt Johansen. 👋 Over the last two decades, I’ve blogged, hosted podcasts and webinars, and had various speaking gigs around the world—which launched my career in information security.
As a former CISO with 15+ years of experience, I’ve helped defend startups to the world’s biggest financial institutions and everything in between. Currently, I serve as the Head of Software Security at Reddit.
I’m a community builder with over 254K followers on social media and 30k subscribers featuring entrepreneurs, CISOs, execs, industry leaders, hackers, and anyone with an affinity for security on my Vulnerable U newsletter. Regardless of the platform, I genuinely enjoy leveraging my security knowledge for the good of others.
