About Gowtham Reddy Vuyyuru
As a Security Engineer with 4 years of experience and a CompTIA Security+ certification, I specialize in incident response, cloud security, and threat intelligence. I’m skilled in triaging security alerts, managing incidents, and deploying AWS security solutions, using tools like Splunk, CrowdStrike, and ServiceNow. Currently, I lead security efforts at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, focusing on cloud security and real-time monitoring. My previous experience at Cognizant Technology Solutions involved incident response and cloud security deployments at the enterprise level. I’m passionate about strengthening security infrastructures and always eager to learn and apply innovative practices. Let’s connect to discuss opportunities in cybersecurity, cloud security, or technology consulting!
