About Roman Kruglov
Building secure, resilient enterprise systems through pragmatic cloud architecture, Zero Trust discipline, and responsible AI governance.
Background & Philosophy
Leadership, Architecture & Resilience
Leadership Principles & Strategic Focus
A battle-tested approach to modern infrastructure, cybersecurity, and enterprise-scale work built across two decades of technology evolution.
Helpdesk Roots to Enterprise Architecture
My career began resolving urgent issues at the IT helpdesk. That frontline experience taught me that security failures often stem from friction between rigid policies and everyday human workflows. Today, whether architecting enterprise cloud baselines or advising leadership teams on technical risk, I design programs that empower staff rather than obstruct them.
Cloud Strategy & Infrastructure Resilience
Resilient infrastructure is designed with proactive guardrails, not reactive patches. I architect enterprise cloud environments with infrastructure-as-code baselines, continuous Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM), and automated configuration management, so systems stay compliant, scalable, and resilient.
Zero Trust & Identity-First Defense
Perimeter-only defenses are obsolete. I advocate and implement identity-first Zero Trust architectures anchored by Microsoft Entra ID, phishing-resistant authentication, context-driven conditional access, and strict least-privilege principles that protect enterprise data across modern distributed organizations.
Enterprise AI Security & Governance
Enterprise adoption of generative AI needs clear rules before the tools spread. I establish AI governance programs, acceptable-use guardrails, shadow-AI discovery, and data-loss prevention policies so organizations can use AI without exposing proprietary data.
SaaS Security & HIPAA Compliance
Protecting sensitive enterprise data and ePHI takes continuous work, not annual theater. I lead SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) and automated access governance so HIPAA-sensitive apps stay under least privilege between assessments.
Executive Leadership
Security is a core business enabler, not an IT cost center. As a leader, I translate complex cyber risk into executive strategy, cultivate security-conscious cultures, and align infrastructure roadmaps with organizational growth goals.
