GOVIND GOPAKUMAR

I’m an information security professional with 2.5+ years of experience in cybersecurity, information security, and IT infrastructure, focused on reducing security risk through strong governance and measurable audit outcomes. I lead security initiatives end-to-end, from risk assessment and control validation to remediation tracking and continuous improvement.

At Bajaj Auto Ltd., I managed essential security initiatives while ensuring adherence to regulations and strengthening operational effectiveness. I delivered an end-to-end risk assessment and mitigation programme across a 10,000-person organisation, auditing enterprise assets and controls, and tracked remediation to raise the audit score from 3.27 to 3.4.

I also built practical security capabilities that improve incident handling and resilience—initiating an AI-powered chatbot to optimize incident resolution workflows, driving an 80% decrease in both user ticket volumes and incident resolution TAT. I run Red Team exercises and breach attack simulations to validate EDR systems, email/web gateways, and WAF resilience, supported by frameworks like NIST CSF and ISO/IEC 27001.
