Abhishek Gupta
@abhishekgupta30
Senior Analyst at Accenture securing enterprise network and WAF infrastructure, including a migration from Akamai to Tencent.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Accenture, I streamlined security operations and incident response workflows, reducing incident resolution time by 35% and contributing to the lowest security ticket backlog recorded in four years.
I manage enterprise network security across firewalls, IDS/IPS, secure web gateways, and cloud-delivered WAF/CDN platforms. I also led a WAF/CDN migration from Akamai to Tencent and define WAF rules and actions across hosts.
At NPCI, I managed endpoint security policies for more than 2,000 users and drove patch management and vulnerability remediation to 100% patch compliance. I also implemented MFA and Zero Trust Network Access, replacing standing server access with time-limited, approval-based access.
My experience spans network, endpoint, identity, and application security, including SOC operations, threat monitoring, and audit-ready compliance reporting. I’m seeking to broaden my impact across these security domains within a global security product organization.
