About Ryan Hopp

Information Security Leader | Systems Engineer | IT Governance & Risk Strategist Hi there! I'm Ryan Hopp—a mission-focused, security-cleared IT professional with over a decade of experience navigating the complex world of cybersecurity, systems engineering, and IT service delivery across federal, defense, and private sectors. I specialize in bringing order to chaos—whether that means maturing SDLC processes, leading compliance-driven initiatives (FISMA, NIST, ISO 27001), or aligning enterprise IT operations with best practices like ITIL and INCOSE. I’ve worn many hats—from managing change boards to designing scalable security governance frameworks, all while keeping stakeholders engaged and solutions grounded in real-world execution. Currently serving as a Systems Engineer at AT & T, I continue to drive process improvement and risk mitigation on mission-critical programs. I bring a global perspective shaped by diverse experiences across operational environments, and have a strong track record of reducing enterprise incident backlogs by over 90%, enhancing compliance programs, and delivering measurable improvements in IT service delivery and resilience. Above all, I believe in the power of building relationships—whether cross-functional teams or client partnerships—to create strong foundations, shared understanding, and lasting impact. Let’s connect and build something that endures.
