Overview
As an Infrastructure Security Engineer, I focus on maintaining and enhancing security measures to protect critical application systems. My day-to-day work includes writing and maintaining signature IDs for Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) to detect and mitigate threats effectively. I identify anomalies, enforce best practices, and onboard web applications behind a Web Application Firewall (WAF) to prevent OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities. I also work on strengthening Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) to defend against phishing attacks. Additionally, I design and implement security solutions with the cyber kill chain framework in mind to counter sophisticated threat actors and zero-day exploits. I continuously fine-tune existing security controls to minimize the attack surface and protect the organization’s most valuable applications and end-points. Demonstrating a keen understanding of data security,I successfully implemented Data Loss Prevention (DLP) policies across endpoints, networks, and cloud infrastructures. These measures ensured regulatory compliance with standards like GDPR and HIPAA while significantly reducing the risk of insider threats and data exfiltration.
Accomplishments
Here is a snippet of my personal achievements.
Patent Holder: I hold a patent for zero-day vulnerability detection, contributing to advanced cybersecurity threat mitigation.
Published Researcher: I have authored multiple research articles on topics such as smart grids, multi-stage cyber threats and their impact on power systems, and cyber-physical detection tools, which have been evaluated across multiple attack scenarios.
Industry Contributions: I have played a key role in containing critical cyberattacks for financial, telecom, and retail sectors, helping organizations strengthen their security posture.
Recognized Professional: As a well-recognized cybersecurity expert, I have built a strong professional network with 19,000+ followers on LinkedIn.
Qualities that stand me out from others are:
Proactive Defender: While most companies rely on vendor patches or updates to mitigate new threats, I take a more proactive approach. I focus on designing and implementing detection logic or Detection-as-Code solutions that can be deployed immediately, ensuring rapid response to emerging threats.
Visionary Innovator: I strive to build long-term, sustainable security solutions that require minimal changes while maintaining high efficiency. My goal is to design frameworks that not only address current risks but also evolve seamlessly with future challenges.
Strategic Leader: I align my ideas and initiatives with the organization’s best interests, ensuring that every security measure strengthens trust and integrity for customers. My approach balances innovation with practicality to drive meaningful impact.
