Cybersecurity Leader | MS | CISSP | CCSP

Hello, I'm Eric Carroll.

I'm currently attending the RSAC (April 28 - May 1) and would love to connect while I'm here.

With 10+ years of experience (7.5 with Mandiant and Google), I've successfully led critical security consulting engagements including SOC uplifts, security program assessments, and tabletop exercises. I have a proven track record strengthening client security postures, driven by strong leadership and project management skills.

I'm adept at risk assessments, security operations, security awareness training, and I possess strong communication and collaboration skills. I'm passionate about helping organizations proactively defend against evolving threats.

I’m excited to bring my skills to a new opportunity and continue making a positive impact in the security space. If you're also at the RSAC and open to a conversation, please reach out!

Thank you for visiting my site.


Best regards,

Eric Carroll

  • "Consulting is all about delivering what was promised to the client in highly professional deliverables, on time, and Eric Carroll simply never falls short on those executing on these principles. I was lucky to be assigned to work with Eric Carroll immediately after I joined Mandiant consulting. Eric’s strong sense of what right looks like provided me and other new consultants firm guidelines on how to deliver a service to a client, as well as how to account for and address internal business needs. Every project I did with Eric in lead was completed on time and on budget, and he was a go-to source for guidance on how to execute from initial contact with the client to final outbriefs. Combine that with his technical cyber expertise and understanding of cyber programs, and you’ll find him to be a tremendous asset to any security consulting organization executing on complex projects with demanding clients."

From the outset, Eric distinguished himself as a strong leader who genuinely invests in his team. His mentorship extended beyond routine guidance; Eric provided hands-on support and consistently shared valuable insights that accelerated his team's professional growth.

    One of Eric's greatest strengths is his exceptional communication. Whether delivering strategic guidance to executive leadership or collaborating with technical teams, Eric conveys complex information with clarity and impact. This skill was instrumental in fostering a shared understanding and driving our projects forward successfully.

    Furthermore, Eric possesses a rare combination of strategic vision and meticulous execution.

  • "I highly recommend Eric Carroll for any leadership role or cybersecurity project management position. Eric was my manager at Mandiant and I was consistently impressed by his deep understanding of cybersecurity concepts and his meticulous attention to detail. He also understood the difference in leading vs managing and is definitely a leader who I would gladly follow again.

    Eric possesses a rare combination of strategic vision/knowledge and technical expertise. He not only understands the "why" behind cybersecurity initiatives, but also the "how" to implement them effectively. This translated into successful outcomes for our consulting engagements, as Eric could confidently guide both technical teams, consultants, and clients toward achieving their security goals.

    Beyond his consulting capabilities, Eric is a highly organized, disciplined, and reliable leader. He fosters trust within his team and consistently delivers on his commitments. His ability to clearly communicate complex information and motivate others makes him an exceptional manager and mentor.


    I have no doubt that Eric would be a valuable asset to any organization seeking a strong leader with a deep understanding of cybersecurity."

    Beyond his technical skills, Eric is an exceptional project manager, consistently delivering projects on time and making sure reports are top notch. I would not hesitate to recommend Eric for any cybersecurity position. He is a talented and dedicated professional who will be an asset to any organization."
