Seeking My Next Role

Hi everyone,

After 30+ years in information security leadership, I'm actively exploring my next opportunity and wanted to connect with this community as part of that search.

I'm looking for remote (or remote with some travel) senior security leadership roles — CISO, Field CISO, VP of Information Security, or Security Evangelist positions. I'm open to travel and flexible on arrangement.

A bit about my background:

• CISSP (2016) and CISM (2019) certified
• 30+ years of hands-on security leadership across multiple industries
• Deep compliance framework experience including SOC 2, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001
• Regular speaker at DEF CON, BSides (Las Vegas senior staff), NolaCon, and CircleCityCon
• Published thought leadership in CPO Magazine, Infosecurity Magazine, and Security Magazine
• Proven track record in building and transforming global security programs — at Graylog I led device provisioning transformation across three continents managing 130+ endpoints
• Unique scientific background (MS in Microbiology) that brings a rigorous analytical approach to security challenges

I'm passionate about evangelizing security best practices, building strong security cultures, and helping organizations navigate cloud transformation and risk governance.

If you know of any opportunities that might be a fit, or if you'd just like to connect, I'd welcome the conversation. You can find my writing and more about my background at https://jnitterauer.com or on my LinkedIn profile at https://linkedin.com/in/jnitterauer

Thanks for any leads, introductions, or advice — this community has always been a great resource.

Jim Nitterauer, CISSP, CISM
