Seasoned Security professional with strategic business sense.

Speaker who can connect to both technical and non-technical audience.

In Detail

I am a Silicon Valley based Senior Information Security Professional. I have over twelve years of rich and diverse experience in the Information Technology (IT) industry out of which six years was focused on security.

I have managed complex IT projects and my differentiation is synergistic approach of putting it all together to a completion that exceeds expectations. I have proven ability to implement creative, cost effective, scalable security solution on time and with in budget.

I have excellent breadth of knowledge in the area of security to bring in fresh perspective and contribute to your organization to take it to the next level. My strengths are security policies, security audits and security framework. I have a published security manifesto "Simplified Security:25 tips to Help Companies Implement Security". I channel my passion in the area of Information Security through the blog  "Musings on Information Security". I am currently working on a book on security compliance that is expected to be published in the end of 2006.

I am an accomplished speaker. I can communicate at ease to both technical and non-technical audience. This skill helps me to win over people which helps for a smooth completion of projects. I am an Advanced Toastmaster Bronze and a Competent Leader.  I am currently an officer at my Toastmasters club.

I am currently on the advisory board of  Mindbrook.

I have numerous professional certifications such as: Cisco Certified Security Professional, National Security Agency Certification , Project Management Certification from UC, Berkeley and Sun Certification in System/Network Administration.

I believe education is a life-long learning process. I have an BS degree in Electrical Engineering  from University of Mysore and MBA degree from San Jose State University. The technology and the business grounding empowers me with technical and business perspective to look at projects. I am a firm believer that technical success of a project should lead to business success.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading self help books and staying fit.
