About Gaurav Gupta
With 15 years of extensive experience in IT, I have honed my expertise in managing critical security incidents, information security operations, and large-scale infrastructures. My journey has been marked by leadership roles in driving large-scale projects that enhance security visibility and site reliability, particularly at LinkedIn, where I have played a pivotal role in shaping the security landscape.Currently, I am leading the Incident Response team in Bangalore, where I am responsible for overseeing all major incidents driven from this location. My role involves managing incidents end-to-end, conducting thorough postmortems, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to implement long-term remediation strategies for security issues. I am also deeply involved in continually improving our security posture, both in the cloud and on-premises, by identifying vulnerabilities and ensuring they are addressed promptly by the relevant teams. I am also driving critical projects for improving security visibility and forensics at LinkedIn across hundreds of thousands of linux hosts like implementation of eBPF based security visibility and collection of forensics from K8s and Linux machines.My strong foundation in cybersecurity incidents, network security monitoring, and system design, combined with my experience as an Incident Commander for major incidents, has allowed me to drive impactful changes. I am passionate about continuing to grow in roles that challenge me to lead, innovate, and drive security excellence.
