Hi, I’m Liran — a SecOps engineer with a passion for cloud infrastructure and security. Welcome to Custos Cloud — my little corner of the internet. In my early 30s, I found myself in a place where the work no longer challenged or fulfilled me. I knew I wanted more — something dynamic, meaningful, and mentally engaging. So, I made a bold decision: I left behind a stable career in logistics and took a leap into the world of IT. That choice marked the beginning of a transformative journey. I immersed myself in cloud technologies, security engineering, and DevSecOps practices. Over the years, I've worked my way up to become a senior SecOps engineer, helping teams build secure, scalable infrastructure while automating security into every stage of the development lifecycle. My background in logistics taught me to think in systems, manage risk, and operate under pressure — all of which I bring to my work in cybersecurity today. As a DevSecOps enthusiast, I believe in everything-as-code, automation, and continuous learning. This website is a testament to those values — every component, from infrastructure to content, is managed as code using Terraform. The ideas I write about here aren’t just theory; they’re implemented and tested in this very environment.
Why “Custos”? In Latin, custos means “guardian” or “protector” — a name that reflects my commitment to securing what matters most in the cloud. Custos Cloud is where I share insights, lessons, and practical solutions from my journey, hoping to inspire and support others on theirs.
