Advait Patel is a Senior Site Reliability Engineer at Broadcom, where he helps secure and operate globally distributed SaaS platforms running across AWS and Google Cloud. His day-to-day work sits at the intersection of cloud security, reliability, and automation—designing Zero Trust access patterns, hardening multi-tenant architectures, and building guardrails so engineering teams can ship quickly without losing control of risk. Advait is the creator of DockSec, an open-source Docker security analyzer that combines traditional container scanning with AI-driven recommendations for developers. He is also the author and editor of multiple forthcoming books on Google Cloud security and IAM with Springer Nature, Apress, and Wiley, focused on turning complex cloud-security concepts into practical guidance that teams can apply in real environments. Outside his primary role, Advait serves as a reviewer and committee member for IEEE and ACM venues and contributes to industry working groups focused on AI, cloud security, and governance. He is a frequent speaker at security and cloud conferences, where he shares lessons learned from large-scale production systems—especially how modern AI, identity, and container technologies change both the attack surface and the defender’s toolkit.
