About Kris Boehm

The views and opinions expressed here are my own and do not represent those of any employer, client, or affiliated organization. Technology Leader | Cybersecurity Strategist | Senior Security Solutions EngineerHelping business leaders turn Cybersecurity & AI into advantage, not risk.I design security systems, then I get close enough to them to understand how they actually behave.For more than 20 years, I’ve worked across cybersecurity, networking, and emerging technology, helping enterprises, governments, and high-risk industries turn security from theory into something that holds up under pressure.My background spans Principal Solutions Architecture, security advisory, and senior field engineering, with deep experience in Zero Trust, SASE, SD-WAN, private wireless, IoT security, and edge architectures. I intentionally stay hands-on not because I need to prove I can configure systems, but because effective advisory work depends on understanding where assumptions break, visibility fades, and controls fail in the real world.I build and operate security validation labs including edge firewalls, IDS, SIEM platforms, and secure local AI models to deepen my understanding of detection, telemetry, and trust at the edge. That work directly informs how I advise customers, sales teams, and executives on architecture, risk, and decisions that need to survive production, not just pass a design review.I’m a CISSP, U.S. Army veteran, and the author of I, CEO, which explores how AI is reshaping leadership, accountability, and decision-making. I’m known for translating complex technical risk into clear business guidance and for asking the uncomfortable questions early, before attackers force the issue.If you’re navigating Zero Trust, IoT risk, AI security, or edge visibility challenges, I’m always open to thoughtful conversations.
