Dr. James Callaghan is a Cloud Native Security Architect at ControlPlane. He started off working as a Theoretical Physicist, but long nights of coding sparked an interest in how easy it can be for vulnerabilities and weaknesses to creep in, and thus a career in cyber security was born. James then spent a number of years consulting as a Security Architect for UK Government clients, where he specialised in designing secure Public Cloud architectures. A particular interest in container security led him to ControlPlane, where he works with clients operating in highly regulated environments, helping them to protect their systems against the multitude of cyber threats facing any organisation operating in the data age.
