Deep Expertise. Local Accountability.

Ryan Whitney

Founder & Lead IAM Engineer

19 years of hands-on Identity and Access Management experience, built as a dedicated IAM engineer — not a generalist who added security to their resume. Ryan spent nearly two decades in the exact discipline that sits at the intersection of cybersecurity and business operations: controlling who has access to what, and making sure it's the right people with the right access at the right time.

That depth is rare. Most cybersecurity professionals cover a dozen domains broadly. Ryan has deep mastery in the one that matters most — identity. Based in Edmond, Oklahoma, when you work with Ironwood, you work with Ryan directly.
