BUILD. BREAK. SECURE.

Reverse-engineering real-world threats to build more secure and resilient cloud-native systems.

Yannis Folias

Hey, I'm Yannis!

I help companies secure their Software Supply Chain and Kubernetes environments. My approach is simple:

  • Build fast
  • Break early
  • Secure continuously

If you're launching or scaling and want security done right from day one, let’s talk.

Software Supply Chain

Secure software delivery, provenance, signing, and pipeline hardening.

Microservices

Threat-driven design for distributed systems, APIs, and service-to-service trust.

Kubernetes

Cloud-native security across workload identity, policy, runtime, and platform defense.

AI

Practical security thinking for modern AI-enabled applications and attack surfaces.

Yannis Folias

I didn't get into security by accident. In the early days of my career, first as a Developer and later as a Sysadmin, I started noticing specific patterns and how easily things could go sideways.

Therefore, it wasn't a matter of following checklists but instead, I got into security by working with complex systems, hitting walls, and eventually realising how and why systems could break.

An open port. A misconfigured service. An over-privileged user or service account. A broken pipeline.

Small gaps, real consequences and this is exactly what shaped my way of thinking and how I work today.

I focus on how modern cloud-native environments behave in the real world, how they might fail, how they're attacked, and how to build them properly from the ground up.

Because in these environments, security isn't something you can add later. It's something you engineer in.
