Manikanth Pandala

I am a young and creative professional with over 4 years of experience in Identity and Access Management (IAM) applications, as well as Linux and Windows administration. My journey has been marked by a strong commitment to leadership and effective communication, allowing me to thrive both as part of a team and independently. I am driven by challenges and continuously seek to develop new skills that enhance my professional capabilities.

Currently, I serve as a Security Analyst at Pirnav Software Solutions, where I lead the integration of applications into OKTA and collaborate with application teams to gather requirements for onboarding. My role involves configuring MFA agents, creating OKTA sign-in policies, and ensuring compliance with client standards. I take pride in my ability to manage L2 incidents, handle Splunk alerts, and contribute to the overall efficiency of our IAM processes.

As the lead of the certificate management team, I oversee SSL/TLS certificates to enable SAML encryption and signature. My experience includes migrating applications from Ping Access to Azure and setting up Ping Federation infrastructure. I am dedicated to maintaining high standards of security and operational excellence, and I work diligently to troubleshoot application issues and enhance system performance.
