Syed Rehan

Principal Solution Architect (Partners - AI, Cybersecurity) at Amazon

I am a Global Cybersecurity Leader with more than 20 years of experience securing cloud, AI and large-scale distributed systems across the UK, USA, Europe, LATAM and the Middle East. My work spans highly regulated industries, government agencies, global cloud programs and modern security architectures where identity, Zero Trust and AI-driven threats define the next chapter of cybersecurity.

In my leadership role at AWS, I focus on secure-by-design cloud architecture, identity security, AI security patterns, global threat modelling and uplifting security posture for organisations operating at global scale.

I am the author of two internationally published cybersecurity books, read by engineers, architects and security leaders around the world. My writing is focused on real-world cloud and AI security, helping teams understand modern attack surfaces and how to build resilient systems.

Beyond my cloud work, I mentor engineers who want to develop FAANG-level cloud security skills. Many of my mentees have transitioned into Amazon Security, global cloud roles and senior cybersecurity positions.
