"I fell in love with security because of the thrill of finding weaknesses and fixing them," Duarte said. "I've always had the mindset of an attacker, but over the years, I've focused on defending organizations - understanding where the real threats are coming from and solving those problems at scale. Throughout my career, I've witnessed how non-human identities like workloads and service accounts are being exploited, and knew this was the next big frontier in security."
Duarte's experience spans multiple industries, including finance, health care, retail, and technology. Most notably, Duarte spent nearly a decade at Snowflake, where he played a key role in shaping and leading the data cloud company's security program, rising to vice president of security (aka CISO). It was during this time that he first encountered Aembit and its innovative and award-winning approach to securing non-human identities.
His ability to adapt and thrive in diverse sectors helped shape his understanding of security from multiple threat angles and perspectives, including compliance with FedRAMP, HIPAA/HITECH, and PCI standards.
