What I'm looking for

I am seeking a challenging role that allows me to leverage my cybersecurity expertise while fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment.

I am a dedicated cybersecurity specialist with 5 years of hands-on experience in Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) and Cloud Security. My expertise lies in identifying and mitigating complex security risks in cloud environments such as AWS and Azure, as well as hybrid infrastructures. I have a proven track record of implementing robust security measures, conducting thorough vulnerability assessments, and ensuring compliance with security standards like ISO 27001.

In my current role as Sr. Manager at ICICI Lombard General Insurance, I oversee VAPT activities and lead a network VAPT team in conducting both automated scans and manual penetration tests. I have successfully integrated security into the development lifecycle through DevSecOps practices, streamlining security tasks and enhancing the overall security posture of the organization. My previous roles have equipped me with the skills to conduct comprehensive security assessments and deliver impactful training sessions, ensuring that security is a shared responsibility across teams.
