Leigh Garrity

Leigh Garrity spent her first career decade as a solutions engineer at a mid-tier access management vendor that got acquired during the IAM rollup wave of the early 2010s. She worked federal pre-sales—thousands of hours making complicated systems legible to buyers who needed to trust what they couldn't fully inspect. She left vendor life to write, building a newsletter audience among enterprise infrastructure professionals who recognized she was writing for them, not about them. Her bylines in SC Media, Threatpost, and GovInfoSecurity include a widely circulated series on zero trust implementation across civilian agencies. Her voice is direct, dry, and specific. She builds from the reader's existing knowledge, never around it, and treats honest uncertainty as a higher form of credibility than confident abstraction.
