John Codis

Cybersecurity Engineer | CISSP | CCSP | Building security infrastructure and compliance automation

15+ years designing, implementing, and securing enterprise systems — from aircraft carrier combat systems to production cloud infrastructure. Currently building CyberReadyLabs, a cybersecurity consulting firm delivering fractional CISO services and security assessments for small and mid-sized businesses.

What I Build

Security Monitoring and Detection

  • Deployed enterprise Wazuh SIEM across a segmented network — triaged 2,337 vulnerabilities including 8 critical findings
  • Implemented centralized logging, file integrity monitoring, and active response with NIST 800-53 control mapping
  • Repo: homelab-configs/wazuh

Policy-as-Code and Compliance Automation

  • Built compliance policies as code using OPA (Rego), Chef InSpec, and HashiCorp Sentinel
  • Automated CIS benchmark validation, container security enforcement, and continuous compliance reporting
  • Repo: policy-as-code

Hardened Infrastructure

  • Production infrastructure with defense-in-depth: Traefik reverse proxy, CrowdSec threat detection, Authentik SSO, network segmentation across isolated VLANs
  • GitOps workflow with automated dependency updates (Renovate), container monitoring (Diun), and version-controlled configurations
  • Repo: homelab-configs

Workflow Automation

  • n8n automation platform for security operations, content publishing, and business process orchestration
  • Integrated with Telegram for approval workflows and real-time alerting
