Hello

I’m Matt Hajda – an entrepreneur and cybersecurity expert currently serving as an Enterprise Security Architect at Dell Technologies, focused on Identity and Access Management (IAM) and agentic AI.

As cloud adoption, hybrid location work, and mobile access dissolve the traditional network perimeter, identity has become the primary security control. IAM is foundational to ensuring only authorized users, systems, and services can access enterprise resources, reducing the risk of unauthorized access and security incidents.

IAM is becoming even more critical as organizations deploy agentic AI systems capable of autonomous planning and execution. In these environments, identity is the central control point for defining what actions AI agents can take, under which conditions, and with what level of oversight.

My background spans people leadership and hands-on technical roles, including IT Director, Security Analyst, Penetration Tester, Systems Engineer, and Security Architect. I bring deep experience across IAM, application and data security, infrastructure and endpoint security, SIEM, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP).

As an entrepreneur, I also bring a business-first lens—understanding how to allocate capital and talent for maximum impact. That perspective directly informs how I evaluate cybersecurity risk, prioritize investments, and shape long-term security strategy.
