About Anand Kumar

I am a Cloud Security professional passionate about securing modern cloud environments and enabling organizations to scale securely. I have hands-on experience in designing and implementing cloud security controls across AWS and Azure, with a strong focus on IAM, network security, data protection, and threat monitoring.I work on identifying vulnerabilities, enforcing cloud security best practices, monitoring workloads using SIEM and centralized logging tools, and aligning cloud infrastructure with compliance standards such as ISO 27001, SOC 2, and CIS benchmarks.With a strong foundation in Linux administration, networking fundamentals, and Python scripting, I support automation, security monitoring, and incident response activities. My networking knowledge helps in securing VPCs, subnets, firewalls, security groups, and traffic flow across cloud environments.Driven by a DevSecOps mindset, I collaborate closely with engineering teams to embed security into CI/CD pipelines, automate security checks, and proactively reduce cloud risks.Continuously learning and adapting to evolving threats, my goal is to build secure, resilient, and scalable cloud architectures that support long-term business growth.
