RUSHIKESH DANGE.
Cyber Security & DevSecOps Engineer
Securing the Enterprise. Automating Compliance. Scaling Cloud.
/01 Core Directives (About)
My core focus is on Cyber Security. I specialize in protecting enterprise infrastructures through rigorous Vulnerability Assessments (VAPT), SOC Operations, Cyber Forensics, and ensuring strict PKI Compliance Audits. I am trained to identify threats from an attacker's perspective and neutralize them from a defender's standpoint.
To proactively secure software supply chains, my secondary focus is DevSecOps. I bridge the gap between development and security by building automated compliance pipelines, integrating critical security gates (SAST/DAST), and performing continuous container vulnerability scans.
Finally, I leverage modern DevOps & Cloud practices. By deploying scalable Infrastructure as Code (IaC) on AWS via Terraform and managing orchestrations with Kubernetes, I ensure that security architectures are highly scalable and automated.
