Who am I?
I started from scratch learning basics of systems/network & playing with Python/Perl. I did not jump to this career because its considered cool & in high demand now. I started my career in the world of Information Security in 1990s due to pure passion on this subject. This passion keeps me kicking. 
Jobs die, passion don't :)

I am a geek at heart & pure techie by mind who has "hands-on" experience on following domains & technologies.
  • Thought leadership at CxO board executive committee
  • Risk Management, Corporate security consulting
  • Cyber Security, Intelligence & Cyber warfare
  • Corporate Governance & Legal Regulatory Compliance
  • Computer Forensics, Law & Enforcement Cyber Crime prevention
  • Audit & Compliance - ISO27002, GDPR, PCI DSS, HIPAA, GLBA, FISAP, FSA/FCA(UK), FISMA, OCC, PIPEDA & BASEL.
  • Vulnerability Assessment, Penetration Testing, Exploits, Bug bounties
  • Product Cyber Security; Industrial Internet & Internet of Things (IoT) Security
I personally believe hackers & security professionals are two sides of the same coin. It just depends on "motive" of the click after all everyone uses keyboard & mouse.

What do I do?
  • Professionally - Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) (more on LinkedIn)
  • Learn everyday something new in IT/Cyber Security world.
  • Strong supporter of Entrepreneurship & Startup Eco-system.
