Who runs Pillar Security

Josh Botz

Cloud security practitioner · Principal, Pillar Security LLC

CISSP · M.S. Cybersecurity · Cloud & AI security

I'm a cloud security practitioner. I work in cloud security and compliance — FedRAMP, continuous monitoring, and GRC — and I write and consult on AI agent security for the leaders responsible for shipping it: the acceptable-use policies, governance, and threat models behind the agentic stack.

I've had the opportunity to do security work across Fortune 500 companies and branches of the U.S. Intelligence Community. I build in the open, too — runnable security labs, working tools, and briefings, not 5,000-word think pieces.

Pillar Security LLC is my consulting practice and the name on contracts and invoices. The writing, the labs, and the deeper work live at joshbotz.com.
