Field CISO & Mandiant Alumnus
Hello, I'm Eric Carroll.
Strategic Cybersecurity Leadership Driven by Frontline Experience:
With over a decade of cybersecurity leadership, strategic consulting, and frontline cyber defense, I help organizations navigate the rapidly evolving threat landscape from the acceleration of AI adoption to the rise of AI-driven threat vectors. My approach centers on a clear principle: security must be measurable, sustainable, and directly aligned with real-world adversary behavior and business innovation.
Executive Leadership & Market Strategy:
As Field CISO and Vice President (VP) of Go-To-Market (GTM), I serve as a strategic advisor to enterprise CISOs, board members, and security teams as they balance aggressive AI integration with elevated cyber risk. In this role, I bridge the gap between complex technical exposure and executive decision-making shaping GTM strategy, advising on threat-informed defense, and helping organizations build resilient security programs capable of countering modern, AI-enabled adversaries.
The Mandiant & Google Foundation:
My foundation is built on 7.5 years with Mandiant and Google Public Sector, leading high-stakes engagements for Fortune 500 companies and critical infrastructure. Having led security program assessments, SOC transformations, and complex identity and exposure remediations, I ground my executive guidance in battle-tested technical experience.
Whether advising leadership teams on emerging technology risks or shaping next-generation security solutions, my goal remains the same: delivering measurable, long-term resilience against sophisticated threat actors.
