Background

About Tyler Jacobs

I am a Cloud Engineer at Keyfactor, a leading PKI and identity management solution, specializing in designing and implementing secure, scalable cloud systems while ensuring continuous compliance with federal security frameworks including NIST SP 800-171 and NIST SP 800-53.My day-to-day work spans the full operational lifecycle — from architecting and deploying infrastructure to troubleshooting complex Kubernetes and VM-based environments, maintaining firewalls and SIEM platforms, and keeping systems patched and audit-ready. I also develop in-house compliance reporting solutions that streamline how our organization tracks and demonstrates its security posture, in addition to other automation to eliminate repetitive tasks and streamline operations. I work closely with both internal stakeholders and external auditors, including 3PAOs, to obtain and maintain authorization while operating within rigorous compliance boundaries.Prior to my current role, I served as a Senior Solutions Architect at Keyfactor, where I implemented solutions for Fortune 500 clients and leveraged my experience as a former customer to enhance our product implementation strategy and deliver world-class experiences. Before Keyfactor, I spent time across software, healthcare, and finance — designing, building, managing, and implementing large-scale Cloud (AWS/Azure), Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), and Identity Access Management (IAM) projects. I bring a deep understanding of building highly secure, performant business systems while minimizing operational costs and expenditures.
