Accomplished security leader with over a decade of experience (18+) in Cyber Security domain, building and securing enterprise networks across the globe. My deep interest in security technology began with curiosity and learning how systems communicate, dissecting packets, vulnerabilities, threats, and network detection techniques. Over my career progress, I moved across various roles starting with Security Analyst, Technical Support Engineer at SOC, Design and Architect to secure the network, Vulnerability research engineer, network pentesting, Incident Response and Handler, hiring security analysts and building 24x7 SOC support, senior technical manager being point of contact to customers’ CISO/CIO, and finally as Sr. Security Engineer in AWS handling engineering, signature writing for threat detection, and IR responsibilities securing AWS cloud’s datacenter network where hypervisors and hosted OS are running on bare-metals and associated critical infrastructure that are responsible for control and data plane.Proven history of building and managing top performing security teams, mentoring security analysts for deep-diving and deliver exceptional results. Exceptional ability to communicate with leadership and explain complex security issues in simple language, helping business to prioritize and get CXXO’s attention on securing enterprise network.Rather deploying security tools and softwares that mitigate/secure the enterprise, I thrive by learning how they work until I fully understand under-the-hood concepts. I strongly believe that being strong in basic concepts helps to solve any complex puzzle in cyber security.I’m always passionate for learning how things operate on a day-to-day work. I’m passionate and creative problem-solver, opportunistic, huge fan of attending security conferences and local meetups to learn as well as share knowledge. When I have a goal, I will set aside the time and resources to make it happen in the best and most efficient way possible.CERTIFICATIONS: SANS GIAC certifications in Incident Handler (GCIH), Intrusion Analyst (GCIA), Pentester (GPEN), Forensics (GCFE, GNFA), Malware Reverse Engineering (GREM)AREAS OF INTEREST:My interests include senior leadership roles in cyber threat intelligence, intrusion detection and prevention, threat detection and mitigation, incident handling and response, DFIR investigation, MITRE ATT&CK framework, security design and architecture, and security research.
